more or less combined. Fruit 2~-5-celled, coriaceous and indehis- 
cent, or capsular and opening by valves. Seeds few and large, rarely 
numerous, sometimes arillate. Albumen fleshy or wanting. Embryo 
either straight, or bent, or folded back : radicle usually long and slender, 
turned towards the hilum: cotyledons large, oblong, sometimes longi- 
tudinally plaited, often containing oil_—Leaves alternate, coriaceous, 
exstipulate, now and then pellucido-punctate.  Petioles jointed at the 
base. Peduncles axillary and terminal. Flowers usually handsome. 
In addition to the ua Dr Wallich (L. n. 3723.) enumerates Ternstremia 
crenulata from the Herb. Madr., with which we are not acquainted. 
I. EURYA. Thunb. 
Flowers polygamous or diccious. Calyx 5-partite, with 2 bracteoles at 
its base. Petals 5, more or less united at its base into a gamopetalous co- 
rolla, opposite to the segments of the calyx: sestivation imbricated. Stamens 
12-15, or more, attached to the base of the corolla in a single series: fila- 
ments distinct : anthers adnate, dehiscing longitudinally, often terminated by 
a short point formed by the excurrent connectivum. Disk none under the 
ovary. Styles 3-5, distinct almost from the base, or united to near the apex. 
Stigmas 2-5, distinct. Fruit baccate, indehiscent, 2-5-celled, many-seeded. 
Seeds several in each cell, in a double series, with a shining crustaceous dot-

obovate, with a short blunt point, entire towards the base, sharply serrated 
upwards, glabrous: Vati de 1-3 together, very short: styles 3, united to 
near the apex into one bearing 3 stigmas.—Wall.! L. n. 3662; Wight! cat.

We cannot distinguish the Silhet plant from ours ; but, as the specimen in 
pe mme herbarium is imperfect, we prefer leaving it with a mark of

lanceolate, acuminated, cuneate and entire at the base, sharply serrated up- 
wards, glabrous: peduncles 1-3 together, very short: styles 3, distinet.—

axils of the leaves, nearly sessile: styles combined.—Wall.! L. n. 1465

We are uncertain whence the specimen in Dr Wight’s herbarium was ob- 
tained. It seems to us to present no essential difference from Wallich’s plant 
in Mr Arnott's herbarium ; but as Wallich's is from Penang, perhaps the pre- 
sent species may be E. bifaria, Wall. "

Calyx of 5 sepals, with 2 bracteoles at the base. Petals 5, distinct, with à
