of Loureiro ; but if the S. lanceolata was only known to 

 that Botanist by the figure of Cavanilles, it cannot be 

 doubted that he has mistaken the undulation of the fruit 

 for that of the leaves. 



A small tree, with taper, smooth branches. Leaves nar- 

 rowly lanceolate, or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, mem- 

 branous, quite smooth on each side, stalked, the petioles 

 tumid at each end. Flowers small, arranged in small hairy 

 panicles. Calyxes stellate, spreading, reddish brown.
