celled, 1-2-cells being often abortive. Seeds solitary in each cell, arillate ; 
arillus parchment-like, pulpy on the outside. Cotyledons very thick; ra- 
dicle superior.—Trees. Leaves trifoliolate. Panicles axillary. Flowers 
crowded on the partial peduncles.

VIII. WALSURA. Roxb. 
Calyx short, 5-cleft. Petals 5, distinct. Stamen-tube deeply 10-cleft; 
divisions linear, bifid (or only alternately? bifid) at the apex, with an erect 
apiculate anther on the inside between each segment. Ovarium roundish, 
immersed in but not covered by the fleshy annular disk, 2- (or occasionally 
3-) celled: ovules 2 in each cell, collateral, suspended from the axis near 
the apex. Style clavate, short; stigma spherical, with 2 (or occasionally 3) 
points or lobes at the apex. Fruit baccate, 1-celled. Seed solitary, with an 
arillus.—Trees. Leaves usually trifoliate, but occasionally with 2 or 4 leaflets. 
Panicles stalked, axillary or terminal. 
We exclude from this genus W. robusta, Roxb., which perhaps does not belong 
to the order: in it the petals and stamens are decidedly perigynous; the filaments 
broad, quite distinct to the base, acute and entire at the apex, and bearing each an 
erect anther at its extremity; the style, stigma, ovary, and fruit, however, pend er 
those of a Walsura. Trichilia? villosa, Wall.! L. n. 1264, belongs undoubtedly to 
Walsura; and we think also Xylocarpus Antila, Ham. in Wall. L. n. 4893. 
401. (1) W. piscidia (Roxb.:) leaflets oblong: panicles nearly quite gla- 
brous; divisions of the stamen-tube all bifid —Rowb. fl. Ind. 2. p. 388; Wall.!

+402. (2) W. ternata (Roxb.:) leaflets narrow-lanceolate: divisions of 
stamen-tube alternately bifid and rounded.—Roab. fl. Ind. 2. p. 289. 
With this we are not acquainted. — Roxburgh may have overlooked 
the segments of the shorter divisions of the stamen-tube, in which case it 
may not differ specifically from the first species. 
IX. HEYNEA. Road. 
Calyx short, 5-cleft. Petals 5, distinct. Stamen-tube deeply 10-cleft; 
divisions linear, forked at the apex ; the segments with an erect, apiculate 
anther between them. Ovary immersed in the disk and covered by it, 2- 
. celled: ovules 2 in each cell, collateral, pendulous from near the apex. 
Style short, clavate. Stigma spherical, tipped with 2 lobes or points. Fruit 
fleshy but capsular, 1-celled, 2-valved. Seed solitary, arillate. Cotyledons 
very thick: radicle superior.—Trees. Leaves pinnate: leaflets of several 
pairs. Panicles axillary, stalked. 
Sometimes the flowers have a fifth part less. This genus and the last differ con- 
siderably in habit, but both present nearly the same characters except in the 
which here opens, there is indehiscent ; in both it is fleshy. We ourselves have n 
seen the fruit of Heynea, but Roxburgh says it is a round fleshy capsule, 2-valved, 
** opening round the apex." Guarea is a somewhat allied genus, but does not occur 
i t India. G. binectarifera, Roxb.!, with which G. Gotadhora, Ham.! in Wern. 
Soc. Trans. 6. p. 307, and in Wall. L. n. 4984, seems identical, although without 
an arillus appears to be a species of Epicharis (E. exarillata, Arn.) G. panicu-
