apex of the germen, tapering thence to a point, bearing the 
reflexed anthers. Anthers large, 1-celled, on the very tip of 
the filaments, and apparently formed by splitting into two 
laminze, and forming a bladder (which, while yet distended with 
pollen, appears 2-celled), 2-lobed, bursting transversely. Pis- 
til : germen superior, 3-celled, cells many? ovuled. Style one, 
filiform ; stigma simple, about the length of the filaments.

This piel differs from the character assigned to the S. 
levigata, perhaps sufficiently so to constitute a new species. 
It is a native of dense forests on the sea-coast, near Point . 
Calimere, and extending thence along the shore nearly 40 
miles in a westerly direction towards the Tondamaris country, 
a tract well worthy the attention of the botanist who has time 
to devote to its examination. The specimens were gathered 
in January, or beginning of February.

Oothie Peralie. Tamu. 
A rigid, ramous shrub: bark brown, speckled with small 
white tubercles; young shoots, petioles, and peduncles sca- 
brous. Leaves petioled, palmato-3-foliate. Petioles varying 
considerably in length, but always shorter than the leaflets, 
rounded, scabrous, particularly on the upper surface: leaflets 
between elliptic and lanceolate, retuse or emarginate in a - 
slight degree, otherwise entire, smooth, coriaceous, somewhat 
veiny and reticulated. Racemes terminal, bearing several large, 
long-pedicelled, pale yellowish-white flowers. Calyx 4-leaved,
