JACK'S MALAYAN PLANTS, 315 
TERNSTRG:MIA. 
(“ The first species here described by Jack belongs undoubt- 
edly to Sauraja. The two others appear to do so like- 
wise, but Jack has not mentioned the bracteas under the 
calyx which always occur in that genus.) | G. A. W. A.” 
The Malayan species of Ternstremia exhibit a remarkable 
agreement among themselves, at the same time that they 
differ considerably from the rest of the Genus. They have 
a trilocular ovarium surmounted by three styles which are 
inserted on the same point, but are separate to the base. In 
some the corolla is monopetalous with monadelphous stamina, 
in others it is five-petaled with distinct stamina. The 
anthers are two-celled and open at the top by two oblique 
pores; this is probably the case with the whole genus, though 
it has been omitted in the generic character, of which it 
ought certainly to form an essential part. It seems doubtful 
whether the monogynous species with bilocular fruit and 
definite seeds ought to be united with those which have three 
styles, three cells and numerous seeds, but an examination 
of their ovaries and placentation is necessary to decide the 
question. Ihave met with four species in Sumatra and the 
adjacent islands, two of which I have already described in the 
first volume of the Malayan Miscellanies. Their common 
appellation in Malay is Zngor ingor Karbau, or ** Buffaloes’ 
spittle.”
