20 PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Plumevia, 



with, divided spontaneously into four parts or equal 

 valves, when dry. Seeds numerous, comose, &c. with in-

14. E. parviflora R. 



Twining. Leaves lanceolar. Panicles terminal, and 

 axillary, brachiate. Tube of the corol gibbous toward 

 the base ; segments of the border linear- falcate. Necta-

15. E. clavata, R. 



Twining, dichotomous. Leaves broad, lanceolate, en-

 tube.

PLUMERIA. Schreb. gen. N. 422. 

 Calyx 5-parted. Corol infundibuliform. Germ 2 celled ;

 Seeds inserted into their proper membrane. 



P. acuminata of the Banksian herbarium. 



Arboreous. Leaves cuneate-lanceolar, acuminate, those 

 of the branchlets obtuse. JRacemes corymbose. 



Flos convolutus. Rumph. Amb. 4. t. 38 good. 



Hind. Gool-achin. 



This very elegant, small tree does not appear to be a
