654 LXXIX. EBENACES, 
The doubtful Ebenacea, mentioned in Fl. Trop. Afr. iii, p. 525, 
is possibly an Anonacea, and, if so, should have appeared ante on.

1, P. ? acuminata Oliv. Fl. Trop. Afr. i. p. 26 ; Henriques, Bol.

IstanD oF St. THomas.—A handsome, evergreen tree ; trunk 
strictly erect, 2 ft. in diameter ; wood very hard, dusky-blackish. In 
the more elevated primitive forests of Monte Caffé, not uncommon ;

‘*Pdo Preto.” No. 2536. 
Henriques, l.c., identifies, but with some doubt, a plant from St. 
Thomas bearing the local name of ‘‘ Pdéo preto ’”’ with Oliver’s species ; 
but Welwitsch’s No. is not unlike Ebenacee in habit.
