We introduce this on Dr Wallich's authority, who quotes Heyne's herba- 
rium. We are not aware of its being found out of Bengal.

ORDER XXXVI.—SAPINDACEJE. Juss. 
Flowers polygamous. Sepals 4-5, distinct or slightly cohering at- 
the base : æstivation imbricative. Petals usually as many as the $ 
alternating with them, sometimes fewer by the abortion of one, some- 
times entirely wanting: inside either naked, or hairy, or glandular, or 
furnished with a petaloid scale: zstivation imbricative. Torus usually 
an hypogynous disk, occupying the bottom of the calyx, expanded be- 
tween the petals and stamens ; sometimes consisting of glands betwee? 
the petals and stamens. Stamens 8-10, rarely fewer, very rarely 20, 
either inserted on the disk, or on the receptacle between the glands 
and the ovary: filaments distinct, or very slightly connected at the 
base: anthers bursting inwards longitudinally—Mate. Pistil rudi- 
mentary or entirely wanting.—Frm. Ovary 3- (rarely 2- or 4-) celled: 
ovules usually solitary (and then generally erect or ascending), some- 
times 2 (and then the upper one is ascending, the lower suspended,) Lad 
3, rarely numerous in each cell : style undivided or 3-cleft, more rarely 
bifid. Fruit fleshy and indehiscent, or vesicular, or capsular and 2-3 
valved; some of the cells are occasionally abortive. Seeds 1-3, 0" — 
rarely numerous in each cell, usually arillate. Albumen none. Em- 
bryo rarely straight, usually curved or spirally convolute : radicle point-
