Trees or shrubs. Leaves odd-pinnate, leaflets few. Flowers in axillary 



eLnicles, pedicels slender. Sepals oblong, sligbtly imbricate, somewhat en- 

 roled and spreading, but not clamping the base of the capsule. Petals linear- 

 oblong. Stamens 10, the alternate longer. Ovaries 5 ; styles slender. Capsule 

 linear-oblong, recun-ed. Seed ovoid, testa thin black arilliform at the base; 

 cotyledons amygdaloid. — Disirib. Species 2, a Javanese and Indian. 



This genuSj which (Gen. PI, i. 432) when the fruit was unknown I united with 

 Eourca, proves to bo exarillate, and I therefore restore it.
