the mouth, and conceals the anthers. The stigma is large, a 
sessile, simple as far as I have observed, not double, as a 
stated by Loureiro. The ovary appears to be l-celled, and a 
to contain two pendulous ovules. It rarely ripens its fruit in 
these Islands; but, according to Loureiro, it bears a small, — 
red, l-seeded berry. Flowers very small, yellow, and frae. —

In the catalogue of the Hortus Benghalensis, p. 18, this 
plant is specified under the name of Camuniwm sinense —— 
after Rumphius. The Murraya paniculata above described 2 
is the true Kamuning of the Malays, and the name € — 
sinense is only applied by Rumphius, in the manner of the 
older botanical authors, as one of comparison and resem-  — 
blance, for want of a better of native origin; if, therefore, the 2] 
generic name Camunium is to be adopted at all, it ought to — 
be applied to the plant to which it really belongs, and cannot - | 
be admitted for one of a different family, not indigenous to — 
the Malay Islands. On this account, Loureiro's name is to 7 
be preferred.
