S. PSYCHOTRIOIDES, Baker. (Pl. XXIV. A. figs. 1-7.) 
An erect tree with the habit of a Psychotria, glabrous in all 
its parts, the ultimate branchlets rather compressed, the nodes 
thickened. Stipules small, deltoid, connate, persistent. Leaves 
in opposite pairs, shortly petioled, obovate-oblong, acute, 3-4 in. 
long, 1-1} in. broad, deltoid at the base, bright green and gla- 
brous on both surfaces, with numerous distinct arching parallel 
main veins. Flowers in small lax terminal panicles, with a few 
corymbose branches; pedicels none or short; bracts minute, 
linear, inconspicuous. Calyx-tube 4l; in. long; teeth twice as 
long, oblanceolate, foliaceous. Corolla-tube 4 in. long, cylin- 
drical, glabrous both inside and out; segments 5, oblong-lanceo- 
late, } in.-long, slightly induplicate in wstivation, spreading hori- 
zontally when fully expanded. Stamens as long as the corolla- 
segments; filaments filiform; anthers linear. Capsule under 
i in. long, oblong, splitting from the apex nearly down to the 
base, rigid in texture, the top projecting distinctly beyond the 
persistent calyx-teeth ; the placenta not reaching the top, and 
separating from the valves. Seeds } in. long, numerous, flat, 
pale brown, glabrous, the testa produced into a lanceolate lace- 
rated tail on both sides of the oblong nucleus.—Forests of the 
province of Imerina, Baron 1320 (fruit) and 1769 (flower). —— 
The only other Old-world genus of Cinchonez with a septi- 
cidal capsule is the Himalayan Hymenopogon, from which this 
differs abundantly. Mr. Baron sends also what is most likely a 
second species, with obtuse leaves and considerably larger and 
more woody capsules ; but of this there are no flowers; so I do 
not venture to characterize it.
