IV. GLYCOSMIS. Corr. 
. Flowers and carpels symmetrical, in a quinary or quaternary proportion. 
Calyx 4-5-cleft. Petals 4-5. Stamens 8-10, alternate ones shorter: fila- 
ments distinet, broader and flat below, tapering upwards: anthers cordate- 
oblong. Torus discoid and glandular, more or less elevated in the centre 
and forming a stalk to the ovary. Ovarium ovate, 4-5-celled, with 1 ovule 
pendulous from the apex of each cell. Style conical, very short and thick, 
scarcely distinguishable from the apex of the ovary. Stigma somewhat lobed. 
Fruit globose, baccate, by abortion 1-2-celled, with 1 seed in each cell.—. 
Thornless shrubs or trees. Leaves pinnate, leaflets alternate. 
In the true species, the seeds are surrounded by little or no mucilage. This 
pon Ponape y to be distinguished from our first section of the last by its style; 
y which character Limonia citrifolia Roxb. approaches to it, but having simple leaves, 
and 2 ovules in each cell, may form the type of anew genus. Roxburgh’s L. mi

The seeds are usually dry, but are occasionally accompanied with a small 
quantity of mucilare. We have not seen the blossom ourselves: Roxb 
teprcsents the filaments subulate, but he says in his description that the 
whole parts of the flower are the same as in the next: if so, there is.no 
character to separate them. We cannot distinguish G. macrophylla 6 of
