stroemiacese as a small separate tribe. Scapha, Ch. and Dray- 

 tonia, A. Gr. are united with Saurauja. Thea, as modified by 

 Seemann, is regarded as a section of Camellia rather than as 

 generically distinct. Btaploclathra, a new genus founded on 

 opposite-leaved species of Caraipa, and Marila, are referred to 

 BonnetiesB as anomalous members. Visneacece, Ch. is incorpo- 

 rated with Ternstroemiacese. Bentaphylax is appended to the same 

 tribe. 



Ixionanthes and Ochthocosmus, Mr. Bentham excludes from 

 the order. He considers them allied to Saxifrageae. Marcgraa- 

 viacese, Juss. are included in Ternstroemiacese proper ; — the genus 

 Antholonia, which has been associated with this group, De Labil- 

 lardiere's figure would indicate to be a Bassia. 



Tristylium, Turcz. is reduced to Cleyera, and XowalewsJcia, 

 published as Ternstroemiaceous by the same botanist, is a Mexi- 

 can Clethra. Descriptions of the species of Caraipa, and of four 

 new Ternstroemiaceee, collected by Mr. Spruce, are appended to 

 this paper.

Eeferring especially to the American species. Mr. Bentham, 

 with Dr. Hooker, proposes to suppress the tribe Anonece, uniting 

 it with Xylopiece. Oxymitra, Bhceanthus and Monodora are in- 

 cluded in the modified tribe Mitrephorece. 



Guatteriece takes the name of Unonece, the American genus 

 Guatteria belonging to the Uvariece, which are characterized by 

 petals imbricate in aestivation. The Asiatic species which have 

 been referred to Guatteria are reduced to Bolyalthia. 



Guatteria heteropetala, Benth., allied to Bliceantlius, is sepa- 

 rated as the type of a new genus — Heteropetalum, as is also Tlvaria 

 brasiliensis, Veil., under the name Cymbopetalum. 



New species of Trigyneia and Bocagea are described from 

 South America and a Monodora from the Niger. The ovary of 

 the latter genus Mr. Bentham finds to consist of numerous 

 carpels, as indicated by its longitudinal furrows and the curva- 

 tures or lobation of the peltate centrical stigma.

1. Involucre of Anemone. Regarded as a single amplexicaul 

 leaf divided to the base into distinct segments. 



2. Stigmas of Bapaveracece. In Bomneyece and in Hypecoum 

 the stigmatic summits of the carpels remain distinct and alter- 

 nate with the placentas, indicating an approach to the apocar- 

 pous structure of Bammculacese. In the rest of the order the 

 stigmas, or even the summit of all the carpels are more or less 

 confluent, as may be traced in gradation from Stylopkorum 

 through Bocconia, Sanguinaria, Chelidonium, Argemone, Meco- 

 nopsis and other genera to Bapaver, in which the radiating stigmas 

 answer to the stigmatic margins of the summits of the carpel- 

 lary leaves, and are consequently over the placentas.
