ments thrice the length of the calyx : milkers yellow, round. 

 Germen small, superior, villous, with four ovula. Styles two, 

 divaricate : stigmas acute. 



Upon comparing- the above description with Forster's 

 Codia, not only a striking resemblance will appear, but 

 strong reasons for suspecting that both plants belong to the 

 same genus. Forster indeed describes his Codia as having 

 a corolla, of which our plant is destitute, unless what we 

 have called bractes may have been taken for a calyx, and 

 our calyx for a corolla. . Codia is described as octandrous, 

 and many of the flowers which we examined had only eight, 

 some twelve, and more have been observed by others. The 

 germen appeared to us to have only four ovula, which agrees 

 with Codia. The involucre or common calyx and the re- 

 ceptacle are the same in both. 



As the above observations lead only to probability, not 

 certainty, we have thought right to retain the name of Cal- 

 LicoMA, by which our plant is now pretfy general! v known. 



^ Mr. Brown, in the Appendix to Flinders's Vovage to 

 Terra Australis, refers this genus, together with Codia, 

 u cinmannia, Cunonia, and Ceratopetalum, to a new natural 

 order, which he calls Cuxomace.e. As one character of this 

 order is a bilocular germen or ovarium, we have no doubt 

 but this is the case with our plant, though in so small an 

 organ we missed observing the septum. Indeed it is not 

 very likely to be otherwise in a ilower with two distinct 

 styles. 



Our drawing was made at Mr. Ksight's Exotic Nursery, 

 KingVKoad, in the month of March. The description 

 Uiken from a plant communicated in June 1809, by Mr. 

 JUrr, of the Northampton-Nursery, Balls-Pond. Native 

 J>t iNew South-Wales. Requires the protection of a green. 

 house. Propagated by. cuttings.
