332 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
crenato inserta, oblonga, sessilia, subæquilonga, æstivatione imbricata. 
Stamina 5, petalis alterna et cum iis inserta ; filamenta complanata ; 
anthere ovate, versatiles, loculis parallelis longitudinaliter dehiscen- _ 
tibus. Ovarium supra discum subsessile, obovoideum, triloculare, 
ovulis in quoque loculo 6-8 axi centrali affixis horizontalibus ana- 
tropis. Stylus columnaris, triqueter, apice truncatus, stigmate levi- 
ter dilatato obscure trilobo. Fructus subglobosus, haud inflatus, 
indehiscens, abortu bilocularis, loculis monospermis. Semina plano- 
convexa, pulpo farinaceo involuta. Embryo (exalbuminosus ?) cavi- 
tatem implens, cotyledonibus carnosis, radicula conica. 
The affinities of the genus, as well as of the whole of this small Order, 
are evidently much closer with Sapindaceæ and their allies than with 
Celastrinee.

Common in ravines. 
HIPPOCRATEACER, 
_ This Order, or rather, suborder, only differs from the exalbuminous 
genera of Célastrineæ in that the number of stamens corresponds with 
that of the carpels, and not with that of the petals or sepals. 
1. Hippocratea obtusifolia, Roxb.—Wight et Arn. Prod. vol. i. p. 104, 
var. ? pauciflora ; cymis folio brevioribus paucifloris, pedicellis corolla 
glabra duplo longioribus. 
Frequent in ravines on Victoria Peak; flowers early in summer. 
The fruit, which ripens in summer, varies in shape, the carpels being 
sometimes elliptical and entire, sometimes broadly obovate and more or 
less emarginate. 
CELASTRINER.

2. Evonymus longifolius, Champ., sp. n. ; glaberrimus, foliis oppositis 
petiolatis clongato-oblongis remote pauciserratis subcoriaceis nitidis,

fameris, petalis margine leviter crenulato-crispulis, ovulis erectis.— 
Folia 4-6 poll. longa, 1-14 poll. lata, laurina, nitida, paucivenia.
