The affinities of this new genus are not clear to me, although fnllowing 

 Bentham and Hooker, and Pax in Engler and Prantl, it apparently falls in the 

 J'hi/Uanthi'uc of the former, and in the Phtltilohcdf-PhiilUinthoKlear-Hridctinc of 

 the latter, exce])t in the latter case the petals are wanting, and nimeDver tlie 

 ]nesent genus does not lesemble any of those jdaeed here by I'ax. The sepals 

 are not in the least imbricate, so far as I can determine, l)Ut assmning that 

 they are slightly so. or tliat the above form is anomalous in this respect, it 

 would then fall into the /'liili/lobeae-l'hyllanthoideae-I'In/llaiithiueac, and lunler 

 this into the Dri/prlinue. near I'utraii jira Wall., and I'ctiilo.^lignia F. Miill.: it 

 is however veiw different fi-om both these genera, altliough its affinity may be 

 here. There is a possibility tliat it does not i-enlly belong in the I'.ii jilinrJiiitvcac, 

 but I have been lUiable to ])lace it elsewhere. 



The above new genus is dedicated to Mr. II. D. Everett, one of the collectors, 

 and foiinerly a forester in the Phili})])ine Forestry Unrean. who lost his life at
