566 TERNSTRG:MIACEZ. II. ANNESLEA. 
Lin. syst. Polydndria, Monogijnia. Calyx bibracteolate at 
the base, profoundly divided into 5 nearly equal lobes, imbri- 
cate in estivation. Corolla monopetalous, 5-cleft, contracted at 
the throat, with the segments opposite the calycine lobes. Sta- 
mens numerous, distinct, erect, inclosed, disposed in a double 
series on the receptacle. Anthers linear, smooth, adnate, end- 
ing in a long point. Style 1, cylindrical, crowned by 3 awl- 
shaped stigmas. Berry dry, globose, crowned by the calycine 
lobes, 3-celled; cells 1-3-seeded. Seeds red, hanging from 
the top of the central placenta, arillate. Embryo replicate, 
cylindrical, inverted.—A tree with exstipulate, entire, scat- 
tered leaves, and axillary, fragrant, ventricose, yellowish-white 
flowers on long peduncles. This genus approaches Cleyéra, 
from which it differs in the linear, smooth anthers, while in Cley- 
era they are hispid. 
1 A. rra‘crans (Wall. 1. c) h. S. Native of the East 
Indies in woods near Moalmeyn, in Martabania. Leaves oblong- 
lanceolate, obtuse, shining above, pale beneath. Peduncles 
long, axillary. 
Fragrant Anneslea. Fl. Jan. Tree 30 feet. 
Cult. A mixture of turfy loam and peat will suit this tree, 
and ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, in heat. 
III. GEE'RIA (Geer, the name of some botanist known to 
Blume?) Blum. bijdr. ex Schlecht. Linnea. 1. p. 660. 
Lin. syst. Diæœ cia, Polydndria. Flowers dioecious. Calyx 
of 5 sepals, furnished with 2 bracteas at the base. Corolla 5- 
parted, with rounded segments. Male flowers with numerous 
stamens, adhering to the base of the corolla, and with a sterile 
ovary. Female flowers with a globose ovary, and 3-5 styles, which 
are connected at the base, crowned by as many acute stigmas. 
Berry 5-celled, many-seeded. Seeds in 2 series, fixed to the 
top of the central axis. Albumen somewhat cartilaginous. 
Cotyledons flat-convex. This genus comes near to Eùrya, but 
differs in the flowers being dioecious, not polygamous.—Trees or 
shrubs, with alternate, serrated, exstipulate leaves, and axillary 
1-flowered peduncles.

and ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, in a 
moist heat.

peduncle, drooping. h. S. Native of the East Indies. In 
the specimen we can see no trace of bracteas, and the calyx 1s 
5-lobed, not of 5 sepals. It is therefore probably a distinct 
enus. Freziéra ochnoides, Wall. 1. c.
