the axils of marginal leaves, not at the apex of lateral spines. 
It is true that, on battered specimens, the leaves are some- 
times broken off while the receptacles remain, and such spe- 
cimens may have been regarded by the illustrious French 
Naturalist as Turner’s F. Phyllanthus, but it is clear to us 
that M. Richard could not have known the true C. Phyllan- 
thus, or he never would have confounded C. Maschalocarpus 
with it.—We retain Turner's excellent name “ Phyllanthus,” 
although Esper's has slightly the priority of publication, be- 
cause Esper's specimens were derived from Turner, to whom 
in courtesy the right of publication belonged; and because, 
but that they are quoted by Turner, Esper’s figure and des- 
cription would be wholly unintelligible. It is manifest from 
the observations of Turner, under both species, that he de- 
signed the specific names to be retained as substantives, not 
adjectives, as altered by Agardh, and we have therefore re- 
stored the masculine termination.

Possibly a new species; buf our specimens are not in a 
good state, nor with advanced fruit, The ultimate ramuli 
are longer than 'Türner's description and figure represent, 
and perfectly simple. Lon
