almost unknown to us, having only observed one sepal 
among the remains of the calyx and a few withered 
stamens, which prevents us from introducing their re- 
spective numbers into the generic character. It appears 
to us to belong to the groupe of Rutacee, as extended by 
Ad. de Jussieu, but it does not agree with any of the 
sub-orders at present established. Although the radicle 
be transverse or horizontal, yet the point of it is rather 
inclined upwards, so that it might be almost termed 
superior. By the cotyledons it.seems allied, at first 
sight, to the Cuspariee, but they exhibit in reality a dif- 
ferent structure, being here situated in a plane at right 
angles to that of the radicle, round which, notwithstand- 
ing, they are bent like a horse-shoe; besides, the endo- 
carp does not separate from the sarcocarp, nor become
