stigmata sessilia et distincta; ovula in loculis oo (4-8), pendula. Capsula sublignosa v.

'TugA, Linn. Gen. n. 668; Dot. Mag. 1. 3148, olim a Caellia, characteribus fallacibus distincta, 
nuper a Seemannio, l. c. 348, limitibus certioribus definita, nempe staminibus interioribus liberis numero 
petalis zequalibus nec duplo pluribus, nobis potius pro sectione habenda, nam genus (docentibus 
Griffithio aliisque) in integrum servatum magis naturale videtur.

ConpvrosLAsTE, Hensch. in Bot. Zeit. 1848, 604; Walp. Ann. ii. 228, planta Javanica, ex de- 
scriptione imperfecta erit forsan Camellie species. Stamina conveniunt, sed petala in tubum coalita 
dieuntur. Ovarii strüctura ignota.

Squam:e petaloidez breves, 5-6 bifidz (v. ex Labill. 10-12 integre). Stamina oo, libera v. 
inter se basi hinc inde connata; antherw breves, innatze, connectivo crasso recurvo, Ova- 
rium...; stylus brevis, stigmate 5-6-fido. Capsula globosa, 10-12-locularis, loculicide 
dehiscens, columella nulla. Semina in loculis solitaria, pendula, testa dura, raphe ventrali 
prominente fere libera ; albumen tenue, carnosum ; embryo rectus, cotyledonibus ovatis planis, 
radicula brevi supera.—Frutex erectus, ramosus, ramulis pubescentibus. Folia alterna, 
oblonga, obtusa, coriacea, glabra v. subtus ad costam pubescentia. Flores ad apices ramorum 
subsessiles, conferti. Capsula velutino-tomentosa. 
Species 1, Novo-Caledoniea. Genus habitu a Ternséramiaceis recedit sed nobis imperfecte notum. 
. Specimen nostrum jam fructiferum est. Florem unieum emarcidum a cl. Drongniartio communica-
