FLORA NIGRITIANA. 333 
XLVII. CuRYsoBALANEJE.* 
l. Parinarium excelsum, Sab—DC. Prod. 2. p. 527.—St. 
Thomas and Sierra Leone, Don ; Senegal. 
The structure of the flower, both of this species and of the 
P. Senegalense, has been accurately described in the Flora 
Senegambis, but in the plates of both species the artist has 
misrepresented several analytical details, especially as to the in- 
sertion and arrangement of the stamens. 
2. Parinarium euratellefolium, Planch. in Herb. Hook. ; foliis 
oblongo-elliptieis obtusis basi inzqualibus, novellis subtus 
niveis, adultis concoloribus coriaceis margine undulatis supra 
scabrellis subtus tomentellis, calycis vix inzqualis laciniis 
lanceolatis acutis, staminibus fertilibus circa 8 unilateralibus. 
— On the Quorra, at Patteh, Vogel; Senegal, Heudelot. 
Arbor mediocris. Ramuli teretes tomentosi. Stipule lineari- 
lanceolate, caducissime. Folia 2-3 poll. longa, 1-14 poll. 
lata, margine undulata et obscure crenata, basi obtusa et 
inzqualia, petiolo 2-4 lin. longo eglanduloso, novella supra 
puberula subtus niveo-tomentosa, adulta supra subglabra sub- 
tus vix pallidiora. Panicule 3-4-pollicares, tomentose, cymis 
. laxe paucifloris secus ramos racemosim dispositm. Bractee 
ovato-lanceolatz, acuminate, concave, caducissime. Flores 
magnitudine P. excelse. Calyx molliter tomentosus, tubo 
basi hine paullo amplior, laciniis acuminatis tubo zequilongis. 
Petala ovata, calyce breviora. Stamina fertilia vix calyce 
longiora, sterilia plura, brevia, valde inzequalia. Ovarium et 
stylus P. excelse. 
I describe this chiefly from Heudelot’s specimen, which is in 
flower, with young leaves. Vogel’s has only old leaves and 
Some peduncles, from which the fruit has fallen off, but I have 
little doubt of both belonging to one species. 
3. Parinarium polyandrum, Benth.; foliolis oblongis ovatisve 
* This and the succeeding Orders have been entirely worked up by 
Mr, Bentham, although he has generally been much assisted by the 
ias determinations of most of the species in the Hookerian Her- 
um.
