This is, as far as we know, quite a northern species ; that found in the mid- 
dle and southern districts of the Peninsula being the following. Roxburgh, 
from his figure and description, could only have seen the very immature fruit ; 
when completely ripe, it is about the size and shape of Retinaria scandens, 
Geertn. fr. t. 120. 
521. (2) G. microcarpa (D.C.:) young branches and racemes pubescent : 
leaves ovate or elliptical, acute or acuminated, slightly cordate at the base, 
almost quite entire, glabrous: racemes interrupted, axillary and terminal, 
elongated : flowers on very short pedicels, polygamous: disk densely pubes- 
cent, nearly orbicular from the accessary angles being truncated : fruit short- 
ly winged, at first pubescent, afterwards glabrous.—D.C. prod. 2. p. 40 ; Wall.

When the fruit is unripe, being then triangular, and about the size of a 
pea, it accords well with De Candolle’s character ; but when quite ripe it in- 
creases to twice that size, and acquires three short thick wings. Lamarck’s 
ill. t. 845. f. 1. i, h, is a good representation of it in that state, although in- 
tended for a different species. 
ORDER LIV. TEREBINTHACEJE. Juss. 
Suborder 1. ANAcARDIEX (Br.*) Flowers usually unisexual. Calyx 
usually small, 5- (sometimes 3—4—7-) cleft; the fifth segment superior. 
Corolla regular. Petals equal in number to the divisions of the calyx 
(sometimes wanting), perigynous: estivation imbricative or rarely 
valvular. Stamens equal in number to the petals and alternate with 
them, or twice as many or more: filaments distinct or cohering at the 
base, perigynous. Torus (in the free ovary) fleshy, usually discoid 
(annular or lobed or cup-shaped), or at first inconspicuous but after- 
wards enlarged into a gynophore. Ovarium solitary (of 1-5 carpels, 
distinct or united, but all abortive except one), free, or rarely adhering 
to the calyx, 1-celled (or sometimes with two additional abortive cells, 
the remains of the imperfect carpels) : ovule solitary, attached to a po- 
dosperm which always arises from the base of the cell, but is frequently 
adnate to one of its sides to near the apex: styles usually 3 (or occa- 
sionally 4), rarely 5, usually distinct, very rarely combined: stigmas 
as many. Fruit l-celled, indehiscent, usually drupaceous. Seed as- 
cending, or more frequently pendulous. Albumen none. Radicle su- 
Perior or inferior, next the hilum (very rarely at the opposite ce 
mity), sometimes curved suddenly back : cotyledons thick and fleshy,
