118 Dr. Jack's Account of the Lansium . 



Milnea is perhaps scarcely distinct from Lansium ; but if ad- 

 mitted as a separate genus, the above will constitute a second 

 species, differing from M. edulis Roxb. in being digynous, and 

 may be denominated M. montana. 



HEDYCARPUS. 



Tetrandria Monogynia. 



Perianthium 4-partitum, inferum. Stamina 4. Ovarium 3-lo- 

 culare, loculis disporis. Stigmata tria. Capsula baccata, 

 3-valvis, 3-locularis, seminibus arillo sapido tunicatis. Em- 

 bryo inversus, albumine inclusus. Arbor foliis alternis simpli-

The stamens are occasionally five in number, with a five-parted 

 perianth and four-celled ovary.
