axils : main nerves 9 to 12 pairs, spreading, curving, ratLer prominent 

 beneath ; length 4 to 9 in., breadth TTo to 275 iu. ; petiolnles '15 to 2 in* 

 Panicles nearly as long as the leaves, frum above the axils of the upper 

 leaves or sub-terminal ; the bi-anclies minutely tawny-pubesceiit, spread- 

 ing, only about 4 to 15 in. long, the ultimate branchlets few-flowered, 

 minutely bracteolate. Flotvers '3 in. long. Sepals united at the very 

 base, a little shoiter than the petals, elliptic, obtuse, minutely pubes- 

 cent outside, pale. Petals oblong-lanceolate or spathulate, their apices 

 recurved or linear", narrower than the sepals, inserted on the edge of 

 the disc. Statnens about as long as the petals ; the anthers narrowly 

 oblong, cordate at the base, the filaments subulate. Disc broad, 

 obsoletely crenulate. Ovary oblong-ovoid, deeply divided vertically into 

 five 1-celled 1-ovuled lobes : styles long, •slender, connate by their apices, 

 stigma 5-lobed. Drupe depressed-globose, an inch or more iu diaui., 

 mesocarp copious ; the stone much depressed, very I'ugulose, crustaceous' 

 and with marginal pores. Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 43 ; Kurz For.

Addition to Chailletiacej;. 

 Since writing out this Naturjil Order for the last number of tliese 

 papers, I have received two new species of the genus Chailletia of which 

 I now give descriptions. And, in order to fit these into the key to the 

 species given at p. 91 of tlie last volume of this Journal, I here repro- 

 duce that key, with these two new species introduced into their proper 

 places and indicated by the letter a following the number of each. 

 Leaves oblong or elliptic-lanceolate. 



Leaves very thin, quite glabrous ; cymes 



globular, "25 to '4 in. in diam. ... ... 1. C. tenuifolia. 



Leaves coriaceous, glabrous except the mid- 

 rib, strigose at the base ; cymes 1 to 2 in. 



in diam ... ... ... 2. C. Hookeri. 



Leaves membranous, with many fulvous 

 bristles on the edges midribs and nerves ... 3. C. Grifflthii. 

 Leaves-elliptic or oblong-elliptic. 



Leaves coriaceous, upper surface with scat- 

 tered bristles having bulbous bases, lower 

 surface hispid especially on the midrib and 

 nerves ... ... ... ... 3a. G. setosa. 



Midribs of leaves strigose beneath ; cymes 

 •5 in. in diam. : ripe drupes "65 in. broad... 4. 0. Helferiana. 

 Midribs of leaves quite glabrous, cymes "3
