Pheocérpus campéstris, Mart. fl. bras. 1. p. 62. t. 37-38. 
Flowers yellowish-green. 
Pubescent Magonzea. Tree 30 feet. 
2 M. crapra‘ta (St. Hil. fl. bras. 1. p. 395. pl. rem. bras. 1. 
p. 241.) branches smooth ; leaflets oblong-elliptic, emarginate, 
mucronulate, smoothish ; flowers panicled ; ovaries egg-shaped. 
h.S. Native of Brazil with the last. 
Smooth Magonza. Tree 30 feet. 
Cult. A mixture of loam and sand will answer the species ; 
and ripe cuttings, not deprived of their leaves, will root readily 
insand, under a hand-glass, in heat. 
_ XXX. ALE’CTRYON (from adexrpuwy, alectryon; a cock, 
in allusion to the wing of the fruit having a crest like a cock- 
comb). Geert. fruct. 1. p. 216. t. 46. 
Lix. syst. Octéndria, Monogynia? Flowers unknown. 
Berry coriaceous, globose, 1-celled, with the margin at the apex 
crested or winged. Receptacle a small tubercle above the base 
of the loculament at the crested side of the berry. Seed erect, 
without albumen, girded by an incomplete aril, fixed to the base of 
the cell. Cotyledons spirally convolute, and with the radicle 
pointing downwards as in Dodone‘a.—Trees or shrubs with 
simple leaves, 
1 A. exce’tsum (Geert. l. c.) fruit with a crested wing at 
the apex. h. S. Native of? Euonymoides excélsa, Sol. in 
coll. Banks. 
Tali Alectryon. Tree or shrub. 
2 A.? canr’scens (D. C. prod. 1. p. 617.) fruit edged 
around with a wing. h. G. Native of New Holland on the 
eastern coast. Leaves oblong, obtuse, clothed with very close- 
Pressed pubescence. Racemes axillary, length of leaves. Fruit 
almost like that of Samerdria. Style connected on both sides 
to the wing of the fruit. Seed oblong, thick. 
Hoary Alectryon. Tree or shrub. 
Cult. Aléctryon is a genus which is hardly known; but we 
should recommend the same culture and mode of propagation as 
t given to Dodonæ a, should the plants ever be introduced 
to the gardens.

A XXXI. EYSTATHE'S (from evøraðne, eystathes, stable, 
urable ; in allusion to the hardness and durability of the wood). 
ur. fl, coch. p. 235. D.C. prod. 1. p. 618. 
„N. syst. Octándria, Monogýnia. Calyx of 5 sepals. Pe- 
rot 5, equal in length with the calyx. Stamens 8. Ovary 
feces Style filiform. Stigma blunt. Berry globose, 
r yY, l-celled, 4-seeded.—A large tree with simple leaves, and 
acemes of small, white flowers.

ovate on the mountains. Valentinia sylvéstris, Raeusch. Leaves 
spread ons acuminated, quite entire, smooth. Branches

Wat in Cochin-china. 
c vd Eystathes, Tree 60 feet. 
my t. This tree will no doubt thrive well in a mixture of 
wid and peat; and ripened cuttings will probably root in sand 
êr a hand-glass, in a moderate heat. 
XXXII. ? RACA‘RIA (Racari, the name of the tree in 
ite Aubl. guian. suppl. t. 24. f. 382. D. C. prod. 1. 
Lin, SYST. 
rupe ovate, Octándria, Monogýnia? Flowers unknown. 
l-celled, containing 3 oblong, trigonal nuts, en- 
wrapped in a brittle covering.—A tree with abruptly pinnate 
leaves and a spiny trunk. 
1 R. syrva'rica (Aubl. l. e.) h.S. Native of Guiana in 
woods at the bottom of Serpent Mountain. Trunk beset with 
large spines above the cicatrices of the leaves. The wood is 
hard and durable. Leaves with 3 pairs of entire leaflets. 
Wood Racaria. Shrub 8 feet. 
Cult. This tree is very little known, but if ever it should be 
introduced to the gardens we would recommend that it should 
be grown in a mixture of loam and peat; and ripened cuttings 
to be planted in sand and a hand-glass placed over them, in a 
moist heat. 
XXXIII. VALENTI'NIA (in honour of Michael Berhard 
Valentini, a German botanist, author of Prodromus Historie 
Hessiz, published in the year 1707.). Swartz, fl. ind. 687. t. 14. 
D. C. prod. 1. p. 618. 
Lin. syst. Octdndria, Monogynia. Calyx 5-parted, co- 
loured, spreading, permanent. Petals wanting. Stamens 8. 
Ovary roundish. Style 1. Capsule baccate, pulpy inside, open- 
ing at length into 3 or 4 revolute valves. Seeds 3-4, oblong. 
This genus is referable to Sapindacee, from the analogy of the 
leaves, with Thouinia simplicif dlia, and deficient of petals as in 
Schleichéra and Llagunoa. 
1 V. rciròra (Swartz, l. c.) kh. S. Native of Hispa- 
niola and Cuba, on the most sterile rocks towards the sea. Leaves 
alternate, like those of the holly, but are more oblong, but 
probably they are more like those of Thouinia simplicif dlia. 
Flowers scarlet, disposed in umbels. 
Holly-leaved Valentinia. Shrub 3 feet. 
Cult. This beautiful shrub will probably grow in a mixture 
of sand and loam; and ripened cuttings will perhaps root in 
sand under a hand-glass, in heat. 
XXXIV. PEDICE'’LLIA (from pedicellus, a pedicel; seeds 
seated on pedicels). Lour. fl. coch. p. 655. D.C. prod. 1.

cious. Calyx 5-parted; lobes small, acute. Petals wanting. 
Stamens 8. Ovary roundish, stalked. Style almost wanting. 
Stigmas 3, somewhat reflexed. Capsules 3-valved. Seed 1, 
seated on a proper pedicel.—A small tree, with opposite, lan- 
ceolate, quite entire leaves, and terminal racemes of small, 
whitish flowers. The order to which this plant really belongs 
is extremely doubtful, on account of the opposite leaves. 
1 P. oprositiròria (Lour. l. c.) k. G. Native of Cochin- 
china in woods. The nectary or disk is 5-crenate. 
Opposite-leaved Pedicellia. Tree 16 feet. 
Cult. This tree will grow in a mixture of loam and peat ; 
and ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass. 
XXXV. PIERA’RDIA (in honour of Mr. Pierard, of Kew). 
Roxb. hort. beng. p. 28. 
Lin. syst. Octdndria, Monogynia. Flowers monoecious.

Style crowned by 3 stigmas. Berry globose, 3-celled, 3-seeded. 
—A tree with alternate, simple, ovate-lanceolate, coriaceous 
leaves, and racemes of yellow flowers. Fruit eatable.

and Chittagong. P. sápida, Roxb. hort. beng. 1. c. 
Sweet Pierardia. Clt. 1820. Tree 30 feet. 
Cult. A mixture of loam and sand will suit this tree well; 
and ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, in 
heat.
