302 ROSACEA: PHOTINIA, 
adhering to the side of the calyx: ovules ascending, in pairs and col- 
lateral, or rarely solitary : styles 1-5: stigmas simple. Fruit a pomum, 
1—5-celled, or spuriously 10-celled: endocarp cartilaginous, spongy, or 
bony. Seeds solitary. Albumen none. Radicle short, next the hilum: 
cotyledons flat, or nearly convolute—Trees or shrubs. Leaves alter- 
nate, stipulate. 
Besides the following, Dr Wallich enumerates Cotoneaster buxifolia, Wall.! L. 
n. 661, from the Neelgherries: but this we have not seen. 
V. PHOTINIA. Lindi. 
Calyx 5-toothed. Petals reflexed. Ovary half-adhering, villous, 2-celled, 
4-ovuled. Styles 2, glabrous. Pericarp bilocular (rarely from abortion uni- 
locular and 1-seeded), inclosed within the fleshy calyx. Testa of the seeds 
cartilaginous.—Trees. Leaves simple, coriaceous, evergreen. Panicles co- 
rymbose, terminal. Fruit small. 
929. (1) P. Lindleyana (W. & A.:) leaves elliptical or oblong-lanceolate, 
acute, serrulate or when young almost quite entire: panicles small, com- 
pound ; ramifications glabrous: pedicels equal to the calyx: cells of the ova- 
rium spuriously semibilocular: fruit glabrous, often 1-seeded from abortion.

930. (2) P. Notoniana (Wall.? :) leaves from cuneate-lanceolate to oblong, 
acute, quite entire or with a few inconspicuous scattered teeth: panicles 
large, very compound ; ramifications puberulous: pedicels much shorter than 
the calyx: cells of the ovary spuriously semi-bilocular: fruit glabrous, 2- 
seeded.—Wall.? L. n. 671; Wight! cat. n. 1014.—— Neelgherries. : 
We do not possess specimens from Dr Wallich, so that our reference is 
doubtful. The flowers of the present are much more numerous, but consi- 
derably smaller than those of P. Li na.

VI. ERIOBOTRYA. Lindi. 
Calyx woolly, obtusely 5-toothed. Petals bearded. Stamens erect, the 
length of the calycine teeth. Styles 5, filiform, included, hairy. Fruit 4 
closed pomum, 3-5-celled. Chalaza none. Radicle inclosed between the 
base of the cotyledons.—Small trees. Branchlets tomentose. Leaves simple. 
Racemes compound, terminal, woolly. Bracteas subulate, deciduous. 
* 931. (1) E. Japonica (Lindl.:) leaves lanceolate, somewhat cuneate at 
the base, slightly wrinkled, serrated, woolly on the under side: lobes of the
