equal to that of the petals, not double that or more, will serve

The remaining Terebinthacee mentioned as inhabiting W. 
Tropical Africa are the Rhus villosa, Linn., a Cape plant inserted 
in the Flora Senegambiz as found at Cape Verd, and a species 
of Anaphrenium, E. Mey., or Heeria, Meissn., from Senegal, 
distributed amongst Sieber's plants under the name of Vitez 
terna. It appears to be identical with a Cape plant occurring 
in some old collections, as well as in Drége’s, and since pub- 
lished by Bernhardi, under the name of Anaphrenium mucro- 
natum, and by Presl under that of Rhus salicifolia ; it is also 
scarcely distinct from the Abyssinian Anaphrenium Abyssint- 
cum, Hochst., or Ozoroa insignis, Delile, (G. B.) 
XLV. CoNNARACEJE.* 
There has been considerable confusion in the circumscription 
of the genera of this small Order, owing to De Candolle’s having 
overlooked the fact that Gærtner’s Omphalobium was founded 
on the fruit of Linnzus’ Connarus monocarpus, the original 
species of both genera being evidently one and the same plant, 
Gærtner’s name must consequently be entirely suppressed, and 
the chief character of the three genera, so well defined by 
Brown, and which still include the whole Order, would stand 
thus: ; 
1. Connarus. Calyx imbricatus. Ovarium et stylus 1 (ra- 
rissime 2?). Ovula sutura ventrali afixa. Capsula stipi- 
tata. Semen exalbuminosum.—Omphalobium, Gærtn. 
2. Rourea.t Calyx imbricatus. Ovaria et styli 5. Ovula €

+ Wight and Arnott, taking the same view of the limitation of the 
genera, have (Prodr. 1. p. 143) by mistake described the calyx of Con- 
narus monocarpus as glabrous, which has misled others as to the identity 
of this typical species. The calyx is clothed with a short rusty down in
