 like Euphorbias of northwest Africa.] Rev. G(5n. Bot. 33: 177-182. PI. 39-41. 1921.— Eu- 

 phorbia canariensis L., E. resinifera Berg. & Schmidt, E. Beaumierana Hook. f. & Coss.,

1421. Lecomte, Henri. Eberhardtia, genre nouveau de la famille des Sapotacees. [Eber- 

 hardtia, a new genus of the Sapotaceae.] Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. [Paris] 26: 345-348. 1 fig. 

 1920. — The author describes Eberhardtia, a new genus, and refers to it 3 species from south- 

 eastern Asia. The new species and new combinations are as follows: E. tonkinensis (generic 

 type), E. Krempfii, and E. aurata (Planchonella aurata Pierre). The new genus is to be 

 placed near Bumelia but closer to Monniera and Lecomtedoxa. — E. B. Payson. 



1422. Lecomte, Henri. Faucherea: genre nouveau de la famille des Sapotacees. [Fau- 

 cherea; a new genus of the Sapotaceae.] Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. [Paris] 26: 245-251. Fig. 1-4. 

 1920. — A new genus of Madagascan trees is characterized and its 4 known species are de- 

 scribed and illustrated. It differs from Labourdonnaisia by the isomery of the floral envelopes 

 and by the presence of definite staminodia. The calyx resembles that of Palaquium but the 

 staminodia serve to distinguish the new genus. Faucherea is without doubt closely related 

 to the American genus Achras, from which it may be separated by the 6 (instead of 12) cells of 

 the ovary. The absence of appendages to the corolla lobes does not permit of its confusion 

 with Manilkara. The following new combinations and new species are proposed: Faucherea 

 hexandra ( Labour donnaisia hexandra H. Lee), F. Thouvenotii, F. laciniata, and F. parvifolia. 

 — E. B. Payson.
