erect rounded sepals; the 4 petals subacutely oblong, 15 in. long, 4 lines broad, 
have the margins rolled back, and are of a palish green colour; ovary 4-celled, with 
numerous ovules in each cell. Drupe globular, nearly 2 in. in diam., crowned by the 
суете lobes; the pericarp and pulp, of a yellowish colour, contain few seeds com- 
pressed oblong, about 5 lines long, constructed like those of C. arborea. The specific 
name is not derived from the shape of its leaves, but from the spherical head of large 
flowers approximated at the extremity of the rachis. Miquel suggests that the species, 
so well described and figured by Roxburgh, should be expelled from the genus; but 
as he never saw the plant, and offers no reason for his suggestion, it cannot be 
admitted. Тһе analysis of this species is shown in Plate XVI. fig. 9 et seq.

The stout branchlets of this species are 1 in. thick, closely studded with small cica- 
trices of fallen leaves; the leaves are 5-51 in. long, 41—41 in. broad, on petioles 3-4 
lines long: the fragment of the rachis of the terminal raceme is only 3 1 in. long, marked 
by the nodes where 4 flowers were affixed; the flowers are loose; the rugous 4-angular 
ovary 4—5 lines long; the superior limb of the calyx is divided into 4 rounded sepals 4 
lines long and broad; the petals 15 lines long, 8 lines broad; the filaments, of equal 
length, are granulated and conjoined at their base into a tube, to which the petals are 
also attached by their claws. ‘This species is shown in Plate XVI. fig. 6. 
түн 7. Doxomma 
is a new genus ', distinguished from all the preceding by well-marked characters. Its 
species are lofty trees, with rather large, oblong, cuneated leaves, often upon unusually 
long petioles. The inflorescence is a very long spike of large handsome flowers, often 
much approximated and sessilé, sometimes bracteolated, upon a stout fleshy rachis 
` So named from 20а (gloria), бина (adspectus), because of its splendid flowers. ·
