398. (1) M. Rowburghiana (W. & A.:) leaflets about two pair with an odd 
one, elliptic-oblong, acute or.slightly cuneate at the base, paler beneath: 
petioles terete: panicles longer than the leaves: petals elliptical ; urceolus 
of stamens sessile: ovary 2-celled: berry ovoid, 1-seeded.— Wight ! cat. n. 
311.—Walsura ? lanceolata, Wall.! L. n. 4886.—— Southern provinces. 
e arillus is complete as in the genus. 
VI. AMOORA. Rowb.—Aphanamixis. Blume. 
Polygamous. Calyx 3-leaved, with 2 or more subtending bracteoles in the 
female, usually without them in the male. Petals 3, broad, concave, patu- 
lous. Stamen-tube between globose and campanulate, obtusely 6-lobed at 
the apex, bearing 6 anthers on the inside about the middle: anthers included, 
opposite to the lobes, oblong, trigonal, attached by the back. Ovary depress- 
ed, 3-celled ; ovules 2 in each cell, superposed. Stigma nearly sessile, pyra- 
midal, 3-angled. Fruit a coriaceous capsule, 3-celled, 3-valved, loculicidal. 
Seeds solitary in each cell, attached by their middle, enclosed wholly or in 
part in a fleshy arillus. Cotyledons usually combined: radicle superior.— 
Trees. Leaves unequally pinnate, with many pairs of unequal sided leaflets. 
Inflorescence of male flowers panicled ; of the fertile racemose or spicate. - 
Spherosaeme polystachya, Wall.! L. n. 1277 (Aglaia polystachya, Wall. in fl. Ind.) 
belongs to this genus. S. Java, Wall.! L. n. 4894, is another species, and not dis- 
tinct as we think from Amoora cucullaia, Roxb. (Buchanania mula, df Wal. 
and Sph. polystachya, Wall. L. n. 1277. d.) But the original Spherosacme of Wal- 
lich (Aglaia decandra, Wall.! in fl. Ind.) has 10 stamens, and appears to us to be 
a species of Lansium of Jack and Blume, from which genus there is no character 
given to separate the New Holland Nemedra eleagnoidea, Juss., all having the same 
conformation of the stamen tube; but the fruit of Nemedra is unknown, and the 
female inflorescence is panicled. 
399. (1) A. Rohituka (W. & A.:) leaflets opposite, about 6 pairs, obliquely 
oblong, glabrous, not prominently reticulated beneath: petioles when young 
with a few scattered short hairs on their lower part, soon quite glabrous: 
panicles of male flowers shorter than the leaves ; fertile numerous, in solitary 
peduncled erect elongated spikes rather more than half the length of the 
leaves.— Wight! cat. n. 397, 398.—Andersonia Rohituka, Roxb. fl. Ind. 2. 
p.213; in E. I. C. mus. tab. 934 and 1827.—Spherosacme Rohituka, Wall.! 
L. n. 1278 (male).—S. spicata, Wall.! L.n. 4895 (bisex.)—Meliacea Wightiana, | 
Wall.! (in herb. Lin. Soc.) L. n. 4888 (fruit). 
Of Wallich's L. n. 1278, we have seen his a and f: both are male flowers, 
and from the locality, it is not improbable that all the letters except f belong 
to A. cucullata, Roxb. Cor. 3. t. 258, from which this species principally dif- 
by the numerous spicate bisexual and female flowers, and leaves with 
usually more numerous leaflets. From Aphanamizis Timorensis, Ad. de Juss., 
It is still more difficult to distinguish it, unless that species have the veins of 
the leaves prominently reticulated beneath. si 
VH. SANDORICUM. Cav.; Lam. ill. t. 350. 
Calyx shortly and obtusely 5-lobed. Petals 5, patent, distinct. Stamen- 
tube cy lindrical, 10-toothed, bearing 10 anthers on the inside: anthers in- 
eluded, opposite to the teeth and applied to them, erect, cordate. Torus 
expanding upwards into a short membranaceous tube, sheathing the base of 
the style, torn and 5-toothed at the apex. Ovary half immersed in the bot- 
tom of the calyx: ovules 2 in each cell, closely collateral, pendulous. Style 
columnar, Stigma long, simple and globose at the base, above 5-lobed, with 
the lobes emarginate and slightly diverging. Fruit baccate, apple-like, 5-
