De ligni structura aliieque notis anatomicis et physiologicis, confer Hook. f. I.e., ubi sectiones 2 

 distinguuntur: 1. Gi/niTioph/ton, ramis ssepius aitieulatis aph}^llis, spiculis minimis amentiformibus, 

 bracteis imbrieatis flores singulos foventibus, masculis 2-andri8. 2. Eumyzodendron, ramis foliatis 

 continuis, floribus axillaribus solitariis v. 2-3-nis, masculis 3-4-andris. Flores siiperiores interdum 

 spicam seu rac^mum terminalem formant foUis floralibus ad bracteas reductis. Genus babitu et 

 embryonis radicula ad apicem albuminis prominula Lorcmthacds accedit, ovarium cseterique
