base with a 4-6 leaved involucel. Petals 5, obliquely obcordate, longer 
than the calyx, attached by their claws to the base of the staminal column. 
Stamens monadelphous, the tube split about the middle into 5 segments, 
each bearing 4 anthers closely placed together at the apex: sterile filaments 
none. Ovarium single, 3-celled: ovules 2, collateral, erect at the base of 
each cell. Style 1, 3-cleft. Stigma dilated, peltate, fleshy. Capsule 3- 
valved, 3-celled, 1-2 cells being occasionally abortive ; perfect cells 1-seeded. 
Seed erect.— Trees with alternate 5-nerved, somewhat 5-lobed, leaves. Flow- 
ers white, panicled.

Roxburgh represents the anthers sessile in five groups at the top of the co- 
lumn, but this is surely a mistake, for in our specimens, both with the short 
and long involucel, the staminal tube is split down to the middle, into 5 seg- 
ments as in our generic character. K. pulverulenta, Ham.! in Wall. L. n. 1176. 
k. is precisely the same with the state of our plant with short involucels.

With this we are unacquainted except by Roxburgh’s figure, but we can- 
not see how it differs from the young state of K. calycina. It is not in 
Wallich's List. 
TRIBE VI.—ERIOCHLENER. Arn. 
Calyx 4-5-partite or lobed, with a 3-5-leaved involucel. Petals 4-5, flat. Sta 
mens numerous in a multiple series, the outer ones shorter, all united into one co- 
nical column as in Malvacee: sterile filaments none, anthers 2-celled, erect. 
* XV. ERIOCHLZENA. DC. 
Involucel at first close to the flower, 3-5-leaved ; leaves pectinate, oF 
much cut and jagged, shorter than the calyx. Calyx 5-partite: segments 
linear-acuminated, with two glands on the inside at the base. Petals 5, 
shorter than the calyx: claws coriaceous, tomentose. Stamens numerous, 
all fertile, in many rows, monadelphous; outer ones gradually shorter- 
Ovarium ovate, 10-celled: ovules numerous, in a double row in each cell. 
Style 1: stigma 10-lobed, stellate. Capsule woody, 10-celled, 10-valved. 
Sceds numerous in each cell, terminated by a tapering wing.— Trees. Leaves 
petioled, cordate-ovate, serrated ; under side pubescent or tomentose. Pe- 
duncles axillary, bearing three or more flowers towards the extremity.
