224 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



Western Peninsular India and in Ceylon, mainly in the size of its 

 leaves, and in its flowers being less numerous in their axils. In its 

 flowers it agrees well with the typical form. It also resembles P. 

 monophylla, W. and A. ; but the filaments of the stamens of that species 

 are glabrous or nearly so, and taper suddenly to a short point, while the 

 filaments of this are thick and woolly in the lower three-fourths, the 

 upper fourth being filiform and glabrous. The ovary of this is glabrous, 

 of that pubescent ; moreover the flowers of this are on long filiform 

 pedicels which arise by pairs from the axils ; while in P. monophylla 

 the pedicels are short, and are united above the point of origin from 

 the axil. The calyx of P. 'monophylla is besides longer, but much less 

 deeply lobed ; it is also pubescent or tomentose, while the calyx of this 

 is glabrous. The disc in this plant is nothing more than a short 

 gynophore. 



2. Paramignta longispina, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 511. A small 

 rigid glabrous tree ; branches rather stout, armed with stout straight 

 spines "75 to 1'5 in. long, and rising from each side of the insertion of the 

 petioles. Leaves elliptic-oblong to elliptic, acute or obtuse, the base 

 rounded, nerves indistinct, length 2'5 to 45 in., breadth 1*1 to l"7o in., 

 petiole *2 in. Flowers '35 in. in diam. , axillary, solitary or 2 or 3 

 together, pedicels short. Calyx 5-toothed, Petals oblong, obtuse. 

 Stamens 10, equal, glabrous ; anthers narrow, as long as the filaments, 

 apiculate. Ovary glabrous, standing on the disc (gynophore) : style 

 stout, cylindric; ovules in pairs. Prwi^ ovoid, much apiculate, 1*25 to 

 1'75 in. long, glabrous, 3 or 4-celled ; the pericarp coriaceous. Seeds 

 compressed, beaked. Atalantia longispina, Kurz Joui'n. As. Soc. Bengal,

13. Atalantia, Correa. 



Unarmed or spinous shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate, 1-foliolate, 

 coriaceous, persistent, quite entire or crenulate; stipule-like scales 

 often present at the base of the petioles and spines, which belong to 

 undeveloped leaf-buds. Flowers axillary, rarely terminal, fascicled or 

 or in short racemed corymbs, or panicles, rarely solitary. Calyx 3-5- 

 lobed or, partite -rarely irregularly split. Petals 3-5, free or adnate 

 to the stamens and united with them into a tube, imbricate. Stamens 

 6-8, rarely 15-20, inserted round an annular or cupular disc, filaments 

 free or irregularly connate, subequal or the alternate shorter ; anthers
