102 - SCHOMBURGK’S GUIANA PLANTS. 
1 lin. longus fere ad medium in dentes 4 v. 5 ovatos obtusos 
fissus. Petala 5, imbricata? crassa concava glabra, calyce 
duplo longiora. Stamina 5 fertilia, 5 sterilia filiformia, 
omnia glabra. Ovarium sessile, pilis ferrugineis obtectum. 
Stylus brevis glaber. Stigma obtusum. 
In the specimens I have seen of this plant, the flowers, 
numerous as they are, are every one of them partially de- 
stroyed by worms; so that I am not quite certain of the 
generic character, and the less so, as I have not seen the fruit. — 
When better known, it may turn out to be a distinct genus. — 
The inflorescence is that of Mora and of Pentaclethra, the — 
foliage is nearest that of Dimorphandra, the flowers very near — 
those of both Mora and Dimorphandra. The sterile alternate - 
stamens are nearly the same as in the three genera, which — 
form the connexion between Cesalpiniee and Mimosee; 
Mora and Dimorphandra having decidedly the zstivation of 
Cesalpiniee, whilst Pentaclethra has that of Mimosee. 
Of true Dimorphandre, I have a new Brazilian species, | 
allied to the only one hitherto known, D. exaltata, of Schott. 
I therefore subjoin short specific characters for both of them.

NN or a species very near to it.
