-V. lanceolata. Stamina co , cum petalis interioribus inserta iisque 
conformia, multo aulem angustiora petaloidea, connectivo in lami- 
nam longe angustatam ultra antheram producta; loculis dis- 
cretis extus laminæ paulo supra basin adnatis oblongis, rimosis. 
Carpella pauca (3-6) e basi leviter angustata obovato-compressa 
(ad 1-1 cent. longa); stigmale cristiformi lineari obliquo; 
ovulis æ , oblongis obliquis. Fructus carpella pauca baccata ; peri- 
carpio crassiusculo. Semina longe obovoidea ; testa nitida crus- 
tacea atrala; albumine valde copioso oleoso; embryonis minuti 
apicalis cotyledonibus brevibus rotundalis. — Oritur in ditione 
austro-caledonica, ubi legerunt Pancher, « inter sylvas, ad
