Tins genus which I have named in honor of my zealous aud enter- 

 prisingfrifr'nd, Lieut. Monro. H. >L 39th Foot, is most nearly allied to 

 A'aregamia, but abundantly distinct and readily distinguished by its 

 5, not 3-celIed ovary, ;md its sujierposed not collateral ovules. A 

 more perfect account of the genus will be given under Meliacece in 

 my Illustrations,
