With amended character of Creseentiacea?, and diagnoses of 

 the genera and twenty-six species composing the group. "Dr. 

 Seemann adopts the Tribes Tanceciece {Calyx persistens, regularise 

 5-merus) and Crescentiece (Calyx deciduus, irregularis — spathaceus 

 vel bipartitus). No new genera are founded. Schlegelia and Tripin- 

 naria are suppressed, being identical with Tancecium and Colea 

 respectively. Periblema, DC. is excluded from the Order. The 

 Crescentiaceae chiefly prevail in the islands of East Africa, whence 

 further additions are probably to be received. Two species occur 

 in Asia, ten in America.
