In ruderatis Mergui : October 1834. 
The tube of the calyx is prolonged incumbently up on the 
ovarium beyond the circular line which marks the site of its 
circumscission as well as that of the capsule. It is into this 
part that the corolla and stamen are inserted. 
Stam. basi submonodelpha, et pilis cellulosis simplicibus 
brevibus immixta. Calyx fructifer connivens, calyptrata 
decidua. Corpuscula vel granula ultima pollinis motione 
vibrante rotatoria donata. 
Points to be determined, whether the odd sepal is posti- 
cous, and the odd petal anticous. Whether the anthers are 
right and left, and into which one the style is received, and 
whether the column is curved in the young bud. It will also 
be important to examine the relations at this time closely ; 
especially the relations of the carpella. Is the odd one anti- 
cous or posticous.
