lar, not auricled: radicle superior, cylindrical-oblong, oblique, exserted, 
applied to the edge of the cotyledons at their top—Leaves abruptly pin- 
nated, occasionally bipinnate in luxuriant plants: leaflets nearly opposite. 
Panicles terminal. Flowers pretty large. | 
Sometimes the number of parts of the flower is diminished by a fifth. Jussieu 
makes the generic name Chukrassia, on the supposition that the native name was 
correctly given in the Hort. Bengh. In the Flor. Ind., however, it is said to be 
Chikrassee, and we have therefore reverted as nearly as possible to that given by 
Roxburgh as a specific appellation. ;

unequal sided, obtusely acuminated, quite entire, more or less conspicuous,

Dr Wallich enumerates two other species of his genus Plagiotazis: of both 
of these we have examined the flowers: the one, P. velutina, Wall. L. n. 1270, 
is a true species of Chickrassia ; the other, P. grandiflora, Wall. L. n. 1271, 
belongs to the Meliacee and to Disoxylon of Blume, as limited by M. Adr. de 
Jussieu; the petals are however often 6, and are united below with the 
stamen-tube.

Corolla with a convolutive or twisted-convolutive zstivation. Filaments distinct. 
um situated at the extremity of the seed nearest the embryo. 
III. CHLOROXYLON. DC. 
Calyx short, 5-partite. Petals 5, shortly unguiculate, patent. Filaments 
10, patent, awl-shaped, attenuated upwards, all bearing anthers: anthers 
versatile, cordate, apiculate, fixed by the middle of their back. Disk 10- 
sinuated ; each sinus bearing a stamen, those alternating with the petals the 
larger. Ovary half immersed in the disk and adnate with it, 3-furrowed, 
3-celled: ovules 8 in each cell, ascending. Fruit capsular, oblong, 3-celled, 
3-valved, dehiscing from the apex, septifragal Seeds about 4 in each cell, 
ascending, extending upwards (in an opposite direction from the hilum) into 
à wing.—Leaves abruptly pinnate: leaflets pale-coloured, small, numerous, 
alternate or nearly opposite, unequal sided, with minute pellucid dots. 
Panicle terminal, large, branched. |

IV. CEDRELA. Linn.; Lam. ill. t. 197; Gertn. fr. 94. 
Calyx short, 5-cleft. Petals 5, erect, furnished on the inside on the middle 
With a longitudinal plait or keel towards the base. Stamens and pistillum on 
à common stalk. Disk adnate with the stalk, glandular, 5-ribbed, concrete 
between the ribs with the interposed plaits of the petals, 5-lobed at the apex. 
Filaments 10, inserted on the summit of the disk ; the 5 alternate with the 
Petals subulate, bearing anthers ; the other 5, opposite to the petals, very 
short, sterile, or usually wanting: anthers cordate, attached by their back a 
little above the base, at first introrse, at length versatile. Ovary on the top
