102 Dr. Francis HAurLTON's Commentary 
Gemma terminalis, imbricata, squamis quatuor vel sex coriaceis 
obtusis, quibus reflexis prodit pedunculus unus crassus nu- 
dus obtusangulus uniflorus, et ex hujus latere ramulum 
foliosum foliis equitantibus post florescentiam explicatis. 
Flores Dilleniæ speciosæ iis paulo minores, flavi. 
Calyx monophyllus, patulus, crassus, ultra medium 5—7-fidus 
laciniis concavis, obtusis, margine tenuiore ciliato obliquis, 
imbricatis.. Petala tot quot calycis laciniæ obovate, calyce 
multo longiora, plicata, venosa, ungue crasso in discum 
hypogynum -planum inserta. Filamenta plura, indefinita, 
subulata, disco inserta quorum exteriora erecta breviora, 
interiora apice recurva; antherarum loculi discreti; mar- 
gini utroque filamenti longitudinaliter adnati, ejusque plus- 
quam dimidium occupantes, apice dehiscentes. Germina 
octo vel novem, coalita in corpus ovatum glabrum, sulcis 
interstincta. Styli totidem subulati, recurvi, supra sulco 
exarati.. Stigmata acuta, simplicia. 
Fructus magnitudine Pomi minoris, lævis, odore Mangiferæ, fla- 
vus, subrotundus, constans e capsulis baccatis tectis calyce 
clauso, imbricato, carnoso, succo viscido scatente. Capsule 
octo vel novem circa receptaculum commune centrale con- 
fertæ, parietibus mollibus baccatz, vix dehiscentes. Semina 
nonnulla angulo interiori capsularum insidentia, obovata. 
I am uncertain whether or not this be the plant meant by 
M. Poiret, as I have not at hand the Exotic Botany of our worthy 
President, which contains a figure of the Dillenia aurea.
