240 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
not found either in flower or fruit. The specimens sent of the foliage 
would, from the texture and arrangement of the leaves and stipules, 
induce me to suppose that it may belong to the order of Chrysobala- 
nacee, and probably either to Parinarium or Licania, although I am not 
acquainted with any species with which it perfectly coincides. There 
are also five other Chrysobalanacee, including what I take to be the 
Mogquilea Paraensis, Mart. et Zucc., but which would be transferred 
to Couepia as limited in * Hooker's Journal of Botany,’ vol. ii. p. 212 ; 
and the following :— 
Licania (Hymenopus) macrophylla, sp. n., folis oblongis breviter 
cuspidatis basi obtusis obliquis glabris nitidis, panicula divaricato- 
ramosa canescente ramulis compressis, florum glomerulis sessilibus, 
calycibus ovato-campanulatis minute pubescentibus 4—5-dentatis, 
petalis 4—5, staminibus fertilibus 5-6.— Folia 9-11-pollicaria, rigi- 
dule chartacea v. subcoriacea, 21 poll. lata, ssepius inzequilatera. 
Stipule latiuseule, diu persistentes. Panicule ex axillis foliorum 
delapsorum semipedales ad pedales. Bractew oblonge, concave, 
summ:e minute, inferiores geminz, stipuleeformes. Flores 14 lin. 
longi. Filamenta basi connata et dense villosa.  Anthere 2-3 
perfecte, 3-2 minores, globesee, cassee.—A tall tree, with spreading 
branches, from Caripi, on the Rio Parà. 
The Terminalia, distributed as T. Paraensis, Mart., was a lofty tree, 
fliwiio out buttresses at the base; there were, also, a few specimens 
of a new species. It is difficult, it is true, to determine Terminaliz 
with any certainty without the fruit, but this one is evidently distinct 
from all the smooth narrow-leaved species known to me by the 
ealyxes, which are as hairy outside as inside. The limb of the calyx 
is, also, smaller than usual in proportion to the ovary, and the latter 
is not contracted at the apex. I have, therefore, ventured to charac- 
terize it as follows :— 
. Terminalia eriantha, foliis oblongis acutiusculis basi longe angustatis, 
novellis ramulisque pilosis demum glabratis, spicis elongatis laxis, 
zi ; ovario ferrugineo-tomentoso apice post anthesin truncato, calycibus . 
. utrinque dense villosis.— Arbor ramis teretibus. Gemme floriferee 
ramentis fusco- v. ferrugineo-tomentosis obtectm, spicas emittunt 
plures, 3—4-pollicares, jam infra medium interrupte floriferas, si- 
.  mulque ramulum floriferum brevem angulatum et pilosum. Folia 
tempore anthesis haud perfecte evoluta, pleraque 2-3 poll. longa,
