plotropis on the one hand, and Leptolobium, and, perhaps, Layia on the other, 
than between Ormosia as a papilionaceous genus, and Bowdichia as a Cassiea. 
At any rate, the name of Sebipireæ must be abandoned on account of the iden- 
tity of the genus Sebipira with Bowdichia. 
Mora, as a genus of Cassieæ, is distinguished by the following character : 
Calyx urceolato-campanulatus, breviter et late 5-dentatus, -æstivatione imbri- : 
cativa. Corolle petala 5, cqualia. Stamina 10, exserta; quorum 5 pe- 
talis opposita, fertilia sunt, antheris bilocularibus medifixis longitudinali- 
ter dehiscentibus; 5 petalis alterna, filiformia, antheris clavatis cassis. 
Ovarium breviter stipitatum, pluri-ovulatum. Stylus compressus, sub- 
rectus, stigmate tenui terminali. Legumen coriaceo-lignosum, oblongum, Pit 
abortu (an constanter ?). monospermum. Semen magnum, ku 
goty ledonibus crassis sublignosis, radicula conica recta. À 
E the: species I should l propose the name of Mork reel and to Mr. Sefii a 
burgk's general description of the appearance of the tree I would add the fol- 
lowing n notes taken from. the dried r No. 496, of his collection. C
