slightly silky; teeth deltoid, reaching about halfway down. Corolla 
reddish-violet, lin. deep, veiny, its petals obovate, uniform, much 
imbricated, 3-3 in. broad. Pod linear, glabrous, nearly straight, nar-

Also a native of Arabia. 
In the other species, the Mascarene C. pubescens, Bojer, the leaflets are 4 lines broad, 
and the calyx is three quarters as long as the corolla. 
89. BAPHIOPSIS, Benth. mss. 
Calyx small, oblong, membranous, without a disciferous tube, at first 
closed and entire, splitting irregularly when expanded. Petals six, 
about equalling the calyx, oblong, nearly equal. Stamens 16-18, 
almost hypogynous, not more than half as long as the calyx and corolla, 
the anthers oblong, the filaments filiform, varying from as long as the 
anthers to twice as long. Ovary sessile, biovulate, linear, glabrous, 
narrowed into avery much hooked style which exceeds it and about 
equals the petals ; the stigma minute, capitate. Pod unknown.—A large 
tree with small flowers in racemes or umbels from the woody branches. 
Habit of Baphia, from which the number of stamens and character of the petals 
separate it. 1t comes nearest Aldina in technical characters, but this has a disk to 
the calyx, a large showy corolla, perigynous indefinite stamens, linear anthers, and im- 
paripinnate leaves. 
1. B. parviflora, Benth. in Herb. Kew. A tree 40 or 50 ft. high 
with glabrous terete grey woody slender ultimate branches. Stipules 
none or deciduous. Petioles 6—15 lines long, woody, glabrous, incras- 
sated at the base and apex. Leaves oblong, 6—8 in. long by less than 
half as broad, acute, entire, base rounded, coriaceous, colour pale-green, 
both sides quite glabrous, the veinlets finely reticulated and raised on 
both sides. Flowers in umbels or abbreviated racemes of a dozen each 
on slender pedicels 3 or 4 lines long. Bracteoles minute, ovate, scarious, 
striated, deciduous. Bud oblong, acute, 2 lines long.

90. SWARTZIA, Schreb.; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Plant. i. 561. 
Calyx without a disciferous tube, at first globose and entire, splitting 
variously as the flower expands. Corolla with one petal in our species 
but sometimes with none or three. Stamens indefinite, free or shortly 
connate at the base, almost hypogynous, declinate and ascending, the 
filaments filiform; anthers uniform or some larger, fastened near the 
base, the dehiscence longitudinal. Ovary stipitate, often incurved, 
multiovulate, narrowed into the style; the stigma terminal, small, rarely 
capitate. Pod ovoid or elongated, turgid or subterete, coriaceous oF
