ceolar, entire. Panicle terminal. Berry ovate, verru- 

 cose. 



Plants of this species were presented to the garden 

 at Calcutta, by Colonel Hardwicke, who found them in- 

 digenous in the vicinity of Ca\\npore. In this garden 

 they blossomed in March, when about four years old, and 

 not more than three feet high, with a simple slender stem, 

 covered with smooth, ash-coloured bark. 



Leaves alternate, unequally pinnate, from six to twelve 

 inches long. Leaflets generally live, often subalternate, 

 short-petiolleted, entire, broad-lanceolar ; from two to 

 six inches long, AYhen bruised between the fingers, very 

 fragrant. Stipules none. Panicles terminal, erect, com- 

 posed of short, expanding, two or three times dichotom- 

 ous branches, with always a single short-pedicelled flow- 

 er in the fork, which makes them appear trichotomous. 

 Bractes minute. Calyx small, four-toothed. Petals oblong, 

 concave, dotted with glands on the outside, much larger 

 than the calyx. Filaments broad. Anthers ovate. Germ 

 ovate, hairy, four-celled, with many ovula in each, elevat- 

 ed on a short receptacle, into the under part of which 

 the filaments are inserted. Style very short. Stigma four- 

 toothed. Berry ovate, pulpy, of a pale orange colour, ver- 

 lucose ; the size of a small cherry, lengthened to an ob- 

 tuse point. Seed single, oval, smooth.
