MR. J. MIERS ON THE BARRINGTONIACE. 09 
which is erect or more frequently drooping from its great weight; the calycine limb 
is shortly cup-shaped, and divided nearly to its base into 4 rounded ciliated sepals, 
imbricated in the bud; the disk as in the other genera; the stamens are monadelphous, 
upon an erect tubular ring, which is seated on the outer margin of the disk; the fila- 
ments, long and slender, coiled in estivation, afterwards spreading in many series, аге 
all fertile, with small yellow 2-celled anthers; the petals are large and oblong; the 
style, as long as the stamens, is subulate, terete, with a minute clavate stigma; the 
inferior turbinate ovary, often 4-winged, is 4-locular, with 2 ovules in each cell, sus- 
pended from the summit by thickish funicles. The fruit is cylindrically oblong, furnished 
with 4 equal longitudinal undulating wings; the periearp is coriaceous and fibrous, by 
abortion 1-сеПей, with a single suspended seed, which fills its cavity; this is covered by 
a thin coriaceous testa, somewhat adhering to the pericarp; the enclosed embryo is 
white, nearly as hard as ivory, homogeneous, consisting of two layers, separable by a 
stratum of tissue (the medullary sheath) which in drying becomes black and pruinose; the 
outer layer or exorhiza splits at each end longitudinally for some length into four equal 
divisions, thus leaving both ends of the enclosed inner layer (the neorhiza) somewhat 
exposed. The embryo, as thus described, is shown in Plate VII. figs. 3, 4, 5, taken from 
Loureiro’s own specimen, now preserved in the British Museum, of his Eugenia acutangula 
(non Linn.) Its structure is evidently analogous to that of the embryo in Agasta, 
Butonica, Stravadium, and Careya, only more pronounced and better corresponding with 
Gaertner's plate 101 and with Dr. Thomson's instructive observations. То this genus 
I have referred the Careya macrostachya of Jack, and the Careya pendula of Griffith.

Calycis adnati limbus breviter cupuliformis, margine in sepala divisus; sepala 4, squalia, rotundata, 
subcoriacea, ætivatione subimbricata, persistentia. Petala 4, oblonga, calyce longiora, crassiuscula, 
marginibus membranaceis retroflexis, unguibus tubo staminigero agglutinatis et cum illo caduca. 
Stamina numerosissima, multiseriata, imo in tubum subbrevem cylindricum monadelpha, seriebus 
interioribus вере brevioribus, setiformibus, et anantheris. Stylus illis equilongus, tenuiter subulatus, 
paullo curvatus. Stigma simplex. Discus plane annularis, margine exteriore tubum staminige- 
rum sustinens, intus in prominentiam erectam orelato expansus. Ovarium inferum, turbinatum, 
 tetragonum, 4-loculare, vertice intra discum concavum ; ovula in quoque loculo 2, ab apice funiculis 
suspensa. Fructus cylindrice oblongus, subtetragonus, angulis costatis aut anguste alatis, unilocularis, 
monospermus ; pericarpium subcrassum, fibroso-coriaceum, calyce coronatum : Semen loeulum im- 
plens, funiculo suspensum ; testa tenuiter coriacea, pericarpio subadhzerens : embryo conformis, homo- 
neus, dure eburneus, mesopodus, ezorhiza а neorhiza soluta, ad utramque extremitatem 4-fissa et 
hiante, intus pulvere nigro tecta, neorhiza in germinatione,ut in Butonica, utrinque propullante.
