268 ocTANDRiA MONOGYNiA. Omitrophe, 



yellow, somewhat crescent-shaped gland, between the 

 petals and stamens. Filament SGv^ht, as long as the petals, 

 projecting in an ascending direction, woolly. Anthers 

 roundish, incumbent. Germ superior, two-lobed, &c. as 

 in serrata. Style short. Stigma two-cleft. Berries one or 

 two, round, the size of a pea, when ripe red, pulpy. Seed 

 solitary, the shape of the berry, and nearly the same size. 

 Embryo as in serrata. 



It differs from serrata ; 1st. In being a spreading 

 shrub, whereas that is erect and very ramous. 2ndly. In 

 the young shoots, leaves and raceme being all very 

 smooth, whereas there they are downy. 3dly. and lastly. 

 In the points of the leaves being rather obtuse,there acute. 

 But in habit the difference is most striking, when seen 

 growing together. 



5. O. Cobbe. Willd. 2. 322, 



Shrubby. Leaves ternate ; leaflets subsessile, serrate, 

 downy, the pair ovate, oblong, the terminal one broad 

 lanceolar. Racemes axillary, simple. 



Rhus Cohbe. sp. pi. 382. 



I have seen only one dry specimen of this, it was given 

 me by Dr. Rottler, under its old name (Rhus Cobbe. J 

 The tender parts of the specimen are very downy, the 

 leaves narrower, and less deeply serrate than O. serrata, 

 which it resembles almost exactly in every other res- 

 pect. The tlowers are all male, or male hermaphrodite : 

 and agree so exactly with those of that plant, that one 

 description may serve for both. 



6. O. integrifolia. Willd. 2. 322, 



Leaves alternate; leaflets petioletted, oblong, entire. 

 Racemes axillary, simple, as long as the leaves. Petals 

 reniform, long-clawed. 



A native of the Moluccas.
