IJ. HERITIERA. Ait. 
Calyx 5-toothed. Stamens in the male flowers 5-10, with the filaments 
joined into a tube ; anthers sessile on the top of the tube: in the bisexual 
flowers anthers 10, sessile, two between each carpel. Carpels 5, each with 
1 style, containing few ovules; at length resembling coriaceous drupes, in- 
dehiscent, carinate, 1-seeded by abortion. Albumen none. Embryo very 
thick ; cotyledons fleshy, unequal: radicle ovate, acuminated, pointing away 
from the suture of the carpel ; plumule 2-leaved.—Trees with simple alternate 
entire leaves, the under side of which are covered with minute silvery scales. 
Flowers panicled, small, red.

^. 1139. f.—Balanopteris Tothila, Gertn. fr. t. 99.—Rheed. Mal. 6. t. 21. 
Of this we have not seen specimens. We exclude from the synonyms that 
of Rumph. Amb. 3. t. 63, upon which Dr F. Buchanan Hamilton makes the 
following remark : * The drawing and description of the fruit no doubt re- 
present the H. minor of the Encycl. Meth., of which I published in Symes 
Journ. to Ava an account under the name of H. Fomes, and which is the 
Balanopteris minor of Gsertner ; the description of the flower evidently refers 
to a Niota, which in both Ava and Bengal is confounded with the Hi 
under the same name, and which I call W. polyandra." Thus, then, H. 
Fomes, Ham. and Willd., and H. minor, Lam. and Roxb. (or the Sterculia 
argentea, Roxb. in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1197), are identical, and probably all 
Wall. L. n. 1139 excepting f. As to the Niota polyandra, it has lanceolate 
attenuated leaves, and is H. attenuata, Wall. L. n. 1140. _ l
