XXVIII. BE’RRYA (in honour of Dr. Berry, a friend of 
Roxburgh’s, who first introduced this tree into the botanic gar- 
den at Calcutta). Roxb. cor. 3. p. 59. t. 264. D.C. prod. 1. 
p. 516. 
Lin. syst. Polydndria, Monogynia. Calyx of 5 sepals, 
-which are connected before expansion, but afterwards separating 
irregularly, downy on the outside but coloured within, soon 
falling off. Petals 5, oblong. Stamens numerous ; filaments 
unconnected (or joined at the base); anthers small, 2-celled.

tate. Capsule roundish, 3-celled, 3-valved, 6-winged, each 
valve bearing 2 horizontal wings on the back, with a dissepiment

date, entire leaves, and spreading terminal panicles of small 
whitish-yellow flowers.

lon. Branches round, smooth. Leaves alternate, without sti- 
pulas, stalked, ovate, acuminate, entire, smooth, 7-nerved at

and peat; and cuttings will root readily if planted in sand or 
mould under a hand-glass, in heat. 
XXIX. EUTHE'MIS (from evðnuwv, euthemon, neat or 
pretty ; in allusion to the elegance and neatness of the shrubs). 
Jack. in mal. misc. 1. Wall in Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 303. 
Lin. syst. Pentdéndria, Monogynia. Calyx inferior, of 5- 
sepals. Petals 5. Stamens 5, hypogynous. Anthers adnate, 
bursting at the apex, with 2 pores. Style filiform. Stigma sim- 
ple. Berry 5-seeded. Seeds disposed round the axis, enclosed 
in a fibrous aril, albuminous, oblong, angular. Embryo inverse, 
cylindrical, almost as long as the seed, with a superior radicle.— 
Small shrubs, with simple, serrated, alternate, stipulate leaves, 
and racemes of flowers. This genus agrees with Tilidcee in the 
stipulate leaves and entire petals, but with Eleocdrpee in the 
anthers bursting by 2 pores at the apex. 
1 E. revcoca’rpea (Jack, l. c.) leaves lanceolate, beautifully 
spiny-serrated ; racemes branched at the base; stipulas lanceo- 
late, ciliated, soon falling off; fruit globose, white. h.S. Native 
of the forests of Singapore. This is a shrub of uncommon ele- 
gance and beauty. Corolla white, tinged with purple. Anthers 
longer than the filaments, ending in a long point, which is a little 
twisted. 
White-fruited Euthemis. Shrub 4 to 5 feet. 
2 E. minor (Jack, l. c.) leaves narrow-lanceolate, slightly 
serrulated ; stipulas linear, ciliated; racemes undivided ; berry 
red, angular, acuminated. hk. S. Gathered along with the 
preceding. Corolla white. Anthers yellow, ending in a long 
acumen. 
Smaller Euthemis. Shrub 2 feet. 
3 E.? evecantr’ssima (Wall. in Roxb. fi, ind. vol. 2. p. 
TILIACEX. XXVIII. Berrya. XXIX. Evtrnemis. XXX. Xerovpetatum. ELÆOCARPEÆ. 
305.) leaves elliptic-lanceolate, tapering to both ends, finely 
acuminated, sharply and minutely serrulated, the nerves reticu- 
lated, and uniting into 2 or more submarginal arches. h.S. 
Native of the forests of Singapore. Stipulas sublaciniate, and 
deeply divided into filiform long teeth. Flowers not seen. 
Very-elegant-leaved Euthemis. Shrub 2 to 3 feet. 
Cult. This isa genus of elegant shrubs, none of which have 
yet been introduced to the gardens. A mixture of sand and 
loam will probably suit the species, and perhaps ripened cuttings 
will root in sand under a hand-glass, in heat. 
XXX. XEROPE’TALUM (from énpoc, zeros, dry, and 
meradoy, petalon, a petal; petals permanent.) Raf. Delil. in 
Guilliaud, voy. meroe. ex bull. scien. nat. June, 1827. p. 256. 
Lin. syst. Polydndria, Monogynia. Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 
5, nerved, obovate, emarginate, rather oblique, and are as well as 
the calyx and stamens permanent. Stamens about 20, 5 of these 
are sterile. Capsule 3-valved, 3-celled. This is a very doubt- 
ful genus. 
1 X. quinquzse tum (Raf. Delile, 1l. c.) h ? G. . Native of 
the north of Africa at Meroe. Flowers in panicled racemes, 
disposed in 2-4-radiated umbels. 
Five-bristled Xeropetalum. Shrub? ; 
Cult. This plant will probably succeed well in a mixture 
of turfy loam and sand ; and cuttings will perhaps root in sand 
under a hand-glass. 
Orpvrer XXXV. EL/OCA’RPEZ (plants agreeing with 
Elæocárpus in important characters.) Juss. am. mus. 11. p. 223. 
D. C. prod. 1. p. 519.. 
Calyx of 4-5 sepals, naked on the outside. Sepals valvate in 
the bud. Petals 4-5, hypogynous, alternating with the sepals, 
fringed or lobed at the top (f. 95. b.). Receptacle glandular, 
somewhat exserted. Stamens 15-20 (f. 95. a.); filaments short, 
unconnected ; anthers elongated, filiform, tetragonal, 2-celled ; 
cells opening at the top by an oblong pore. Ovary (f. 95. c. d.), 
many-celled. Style 1 (f. 95. d.). Seeds 2 or many in each 
cell. Albumen fleshy. Embryo erect, with flat leafy cotyle- 
dons.—Shrubs or trees, with alternate, simple, stipulate leaves. 
This order is very nearly allied to Tiliàceæ, but is distinguished 
from it by the lobed petals, and the anthers opening by 2 pores 
at the apex.
