696 PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA, Webera. 
two-lobed, two-celled, with two ovula in each, attached with 
their base to the bottom of the partition. Sty/e nearly the 
length of the tube of the corol. Stigma ovate, short, with a 
two-lobed apex. Berries two, perfectly distinct, singly some- 
what of a roundish ovate shape, short-pedicelled, size of a 
cherry, pulpy, when ripe orange-coloured, one-celled. Seeds 
two in each berry. : 
Obs. The whole of the generic character of this plant, 
agrees so well with that of Carissa, as it stands in the various 
_ editions of the Genera Plantarum that I have seen, (Jussieu 5 
excepted) as to leave no doubt with those, who stijl may think 
two berries are the produce of one flower in that genus, that 
this ought to be considered a species thereof, But in all the In- 
dian species of Carissa,* that 1 have yet met with, the peri- 
carpium is uniformly single. As therefore this plant cannot 
be placed in the same family, I think it better to continue 
the former generic name (Carissa,) to the well known thorny 
plants described under that genus, for 1 have not yet met — 
with any of the unarmed species, consequently cannot say 
what their pericarps may be. I consider this to be a well 
defined, perfectly distinct genus, and have named it after 
Dr. William Hunter of the Bengal Medical Establishment, 
an eminent Botanist, and author of various papers in the 4st- 
atic Researches, of the History of Pegu, &c. He was pa 
first discoverer of this ay plant,
