leaves simple, short petioled, elliptic, emarginate, shining, crenulated: ra-

n. 6356.—— —Coromandel ;, Dr Berry. 
Resembling Atalantia monophylla, but smaller: no one appears to have 
found it but Dr Berry, who sent it in 1807 to the Bot. Garden at Calcutta. 
VI. BERGERA. Koen. 
Flowers and carpels unsymmetrical. Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5, spreading. 
Stamens 10: filaments distinct, subulate, compressed below: anthers ovate. 
Ovarium oval, 2-celled, with 1 ovule in each cell, attached by its middle to 
the middle of the axis. Style elongated, thick. Fruit baccate, usually 1- 
celled and 1-seeded. Seed surrounded with mucilage: seed-coat membra- 
naceous, glabrous : cotyledons glabrous, conspicuously auricled at their base: 
radicle villous.—Small tree with pinnate leaves. 
We exclude B. integerrima, Ham. ! (Roxb. in fl. Ind. 2. p. 376, and E. I. C. mus. 
tab. 1241), a plant with a thick clavate style, large obtuse stigma, 5-celled ovary, having 
2 ovules, one above the other in each cell, and an usually 2-celled, 2-seeded berry, 
and belonging to Micromelum of Blume, if indeed it be not identical with his M. 
pubescens. e do not know B. villosa, Wall. L. n. 6372.

Rumph. Amb. 1. t. 53. f. 1, usually referred here, is an Araliaceous plant, 
(Aralia umbraculifera, Roxb.) 
VII. MURRAYA. Koen.; Linn.; Lam. ill. t. 352. 
Flowers and carpels unsymmetrical. Calyx 5-partite. Petals 5, conni- 
vent to the middle into a tube. Stamens 10: filaments distinct, linear- 
subulate: anthers ovate. Ovarium 2-celled: ovules 2, one above the other, 
in each cell. Style elongated. Fruit a fleshy berry, 2-, or by abortion, l- 
celled ; cells full of coloured fetid liquid. Seeds solitary in each cell: seed- 
coat woolly.—Unarmed shrubs with pinnate leaves. 
M. longifolia of Blume is distinguished by several characters from this genus. 
335. (1) M. exotica (Linn.!:) leaflets 5-7, cuneate-obovate, obtuse or with 
a short blunt acumination, coriaceous: peduncles many-flowered, corymbose: 
berry globose, usually 1-seeded.— DC. prod. 1. p. 537 ; Spr. syst. 2. p. 315; 
Lam. ill. t. 352; Rob. fl. Ind. 2. p. 374 (as to the spec. char. only); Wall.!

We are almost inclined to suspect that this only occurs cultivated in the 
Peninsula ; at the same time we have specimens before us from Rottlers 
herbarium, which are probably the same as those of the Herb. Madr., said by 
Wallich to come from Courtallum. We have seen it also in Hamilton's her- 
barium from Patna in the western parts of Bengal. 
336. (2) M. paniculata (Herb. Sm. !:) leaflets about 5, elliptical-ovate; 
shortly tapering with an emarginate point, acute at the base, shining, scarcely 
coriaceous, upper leaflets gradually but considerably larger than the lower: 
peduncles terminal, several-flowered, corymbose : berry oblong, with usually 
2 seeds.— Wight! cat. n. 325.—M. exotica, Roxb. fl. Ind. 2. p. 374 (as to the 
wild plant, and description) ; in E.T. C. mus. tab. 48 ; Wall. L. n. 6368.¢.—
