116 MR. J. MIERS ON THE BARRINGTONIACEÆ. 
19. The fruit of Butonica inclyta, according to the dimensions given by Griffith under the name of 
Barringtonia racemosa (but not of Blume) : this is is seen in his plate 636, $2, with analytical 
details, figs. 1-6, and is here seen in longitudinal section: the embryo of the seed is shown 
with its neorhiza beginning to separate from the exorhiza, the latter splitting into 4 bs at- 
both extremities, as in Dozomma cochinchinense. 
20. A flower-bud of Butonica samoensis, the entire globular limb of its calyx being quite closed. 
21. The ovary, with the limb of the calyx split into 3 lobes. 
22. Тһе stamens combined into а monadelphous tube, to which one of the four petals is shown at- 
tached by its claw, all having fallen from the disk. 
23. A longitudinal section of the ovary, with two of its three calycine lobes, the epigynous disk, 
on the outer margin of which the staminal tube was seated, its inner margin being considerably 
raised, forming the deep hollow in the vertex in which the style originates. 
24. A transverse section of the ovary, showing its 4 cells. 
35. The drupe, of the size and shape figured by Gaudichaud under Barringtouia racemosa: all 
nat. size. 
PLATE XV. i 
Fig. 1. A portion of the raceme of Megadendron macrocarpum, from Horsfield’s specimens and the 
excellent description of Hasskahl, showing flowers in bud, and another fully expanded, seen 
from beneath, with its 4 sepals, 4 petals with reflected margins, and expanded stamens. 
2. Half of the staminal tube, viewed from within, to show the inner rows of capillary sterile short 
filaments, the more exterior series being longer and fertile. 
3. A longitudinal section of the ovary surmounted by the calycine lobes, disk, and style. 
4. A transverse section of the 4-celled ovary. 
5. A drupe, of the shape and size described by Hasskahl, a quarter of the pericarp cut away, to show 
its single suspended seed. 
6. The embryo of the seed, with its exhorizal portion beginning to split into 4 sections, as occurs 
also іп Loureiro's specimen of Дохопипа cochinchinense. 
7. A longitudinal section of the same, showing the inner neorhiza ready to germinate. · 
8. А transverse section of the same. 
9. A leaf of Dozommo pendulum. 
10. Portion of a raceme of the same, copied from a drawing of a living specimen, by Parish, with 
flowers in bud, and another fully expanded, seen from beneath, to show its 4 petals with 
reflected margins. 
ll. A fruit of the same, from drawings of Parish and Griffith in his plate 634 a, under Careya 
pendula : seen in longitudinal section, with its single suspended seed. 
12. The seed detached. 
Fig. 1. 
2. 
‚ The embryo of the same, the testa being removed. 
. The embryo beginning to germinate. 
. The same germinating, seen in longitudinal section, showing the inner germinating portion 
(neorhiza) surrounded by the sphtting exorhiza, according to the analysis of Griffith: all 
nat. size. 
Prats XVI. 
A leaf of Dozomma cochinchinense е трна acutangula, Lour. ) , from Loureiro' s original 
specimen in the British Museum.
