as long as the lamina. Filaments short ; anthers oblong, pubescent. Ovary 

 tomentose. Fruit glabrous, sessile or nearly so, with 1, 2, or 3 ovoid or 

 nearly globular lobes, indchiscent or splitting longitudinally, more or less 

 villoas inside. Seed nearly enveloped in the arillus. — Arytera dlvaricatay F.

9. K*. micropliylluin, Bentli, Ghibrous or the young shoots minutely 

 hoary. Leaflets 2 or rarely 1 only, ovate or obovate, obtuse, ^ to \\ in. long, 

 entire, narrowed at the base but not petiolulate, somewhat coriaceous, the 

 primary veins numerous and fine, not distant and raised as in other species. 

 Flowers not seen. Fruiting panicles short and rather dense. Calyx small, 

 5-lobed. Fruit glabrous, almost sessile, with 1, 2, or rarely 3 ovoid lobes, 

 about 5 lines long, splitting irregularly like those of N. divaricatmn^ hirsute 

 inside.

There are in E. Brown's herbarium spccimeus in flowers only, from Hunter's River, of 

 what appears to be a Nephelium or Cnpania, diiierent from any of those above describL'd ; 

 hut, in the ahsence of fruit, I am unable to satisfy myself as to which genus it should be 

 referred to, and therefore refrain from publishing it. 



11. EUPHORIA, Juss. 



Flowers regular, polygamous. Sepals 5, distuict, imbricate or valvate in 

 the bud. Petals none or as many as sepals, with or without a scale inside. 

 Disk annular. Stamens 6 to 10, inserted within the disk ; filaments short. 

 Ovarj*- 2- or 3-celledj usually lobcd, with 1 ovide in each cell; style deeply 

 2- or 3-lobed, or divided to the base into distinct styles. Fruit deeply 2- or 

 3-lobed, or reduced to a single carpel, the lobes usually indchiscent, tubercu- 

 late. Seeds enclosed in a pulpy arillus ; testa coriaceous ; cotyledons thick. 



Trees, with the young shoots usually pubescent. Leaves pinnate ; leaflets, 

 as in Neplielium, with the primary pinnate veins raised underneath. Flowers 

 small, in terminal panicles. 



The genus extends over tropical Asia, especially the Archipelago, with one Australian en- 

 demic species. It is very nearly allied to Nepkeliion, differing chiefly in the distinct sepals 

 (in which respect iV. Beckleri comes very near to Euphoria), and from the Australian he- 

 phelia in the tubcrculatc fruit, 



1- U. Lteichhardtii, Bmth. Young branches, petioles, and inflorescence 

 rubty-tomentose. Leaflets about 6, from obovate-oblong to ovate-lanceolate, 

 ol)tuse or aeuuiinate, 2 to 3 in. long, entire, rather thin, glabrous or nearly 

 so above, tomentose or pubescent miderneath, naiTowed into a short petiohxle. 

 Panicles terminal, sessile, rather large, the flowers in little dense cymes along 

 its l>ranchc3. Sepals about 1 line long, tomentose, imbricate. Petnls rather 

 shorter, without any scale, but hairy inside, ghtbrous outside in the typical 

 form. Fihnnents longer than the calyx ; anthers ovoid. Ovary 3-celled. 

 Stylo rather thick, with 3 divergent lobes. Toung fruit deeply divided into 

 3 globular lobes, very tomentose and tubcrculatc, but not seen fully formed.
