234 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
The Drepanocarpus distributed as D. lunatus var., has the leaves 
much smaller than the ordinary West Indian and Guiana form, but it 
is probably not a distinct species. 
Amphymenium ? /foridum, Benth., is the same which I published in 
the Ann. Mus. Vind. vol. ii. p. 106, as Phellocarpus floridus. T had 
then not seen flowering specimens of any true dmphymenia; and as 
among Martius’s plants were four species, to all appearance congeners, 
all in flower, and one having also very singularly formed corky fruits, 
I concluded that such might probably be the pod of the whole of 
them, and established the genus Phellocarpus. More ample materials, 
since examined, give me reason to believe that most of the species 
belong to Amphymenium, and even thé P. Amazonum itself may prove 
to be a diseased state of A. floridum. The real fruit of this species 
is, however, as yet unknown, although I have seen flowering specimens 
gathered by various collectors. It is very nearly allied to the 
A. Rohrii. 
Dipteryx applanata, foliis oppositis, petiolo applanato aptero, foliolis 
oblongis acuminatis coriaceis utrinque glaberrimis, panicula cane- 
scente, calyce canescenti-puberulo, labii inferioris dentibus lateralibus 
minutissimis v. nullis, staminibus 10.—Arbor pulcherrima, ramis 
divaricatis, D. oppositifolie valde affinis. Foliola multo minora, 
3—4-polliearia nec semipedalia, basi obtusiora, acumine longiore 
obtuso.  Panieula brevior, latior, floribus numerosioribus. Calycis 
labii inferioris dentes laterales multo minus conspicui v. omnino 
-evanidii—Caripi on the Rio Para, Spruce; Borba, on the Rio 
Madeira, Riedel; Cayenne, Martin. 
I know not whether this be the tree which furnished the Tonga 
. Bean, n. 29 of the Kew List, as that was gathered from another 
locality without foliage, and another species, D. nudipes, Tulasne, 
nearer allied to the true D. odorata, is known to grow in the neighbour- 
hood of Parà. Neither of Aublet's species appear to have been 
found in Brazil; the one I had described as D. oppositifolia, in the 
Ann. Mus. Vind. vol. ii. p. 110, was most probably the D. applanata, for 
I had then not seen specimens of the Guiana plant. The genus is 
now known to consist of at least eight species, which may be charac- 
terized as follows :— 
1. D. odorata, Willd., foliis alternis, petiolo alato, foliolis amplis 
oblongis inzquilateris coriaceis, panicula floribusque ferrugineo-
