PREFACE, ix 
Olacinee.—Among two or three instances of coin- 
cidence of opinion with Mr. Brown, (I wish I 
could say there were more) without previous knowledge 
that such was the case, in my Mergui notule I re- 
- ferred Olax towards Santalacee, in which Notule a 
sketch of the structure of the ovarium will be found. 
Stilaginee.—To this Order belongs Roxburgh's Ul- 
mus integrifolia. In habit and stipulation it certain- 
ly approaches to Cupulifere. In its ovarium, which 
however is always binarily composed, direction of it 
ovula their structure, and in habit it agrees with Eu- 
phorbiaceze, especially in the presence of milky juice 
which occurs in a Nepalese and Bootan genus Gym- 
nobotrys. 
Salicinee.—A few species occur in India within the 
tropics, one occurs about Calcutta, and two in the Te- 
nasserim coast. 
Hippocrateacee—The trachea-like structure of the 
spiral vessels connecting the testa and cotyledons in 
Hippocratea, occurs in 2 Labiate, Salvia verbenacea, 
and one Hyptis a native of Madras. In both the 
trachez like threads are less highly developed than in 
Collomia and Casuarina in which last they are perhaps 
at the maximum. 
Vitacee. —Vitis and Cissus do not differ according to _ 
Mr. Brown, all the species of the latter are to be re- ——— 
ferred to Vitis. The albumen is often 1 rimose in which 
particular Leea agrees remarkably. This genus is 
t y very nearly allied to this order, far more so - 
than E Meliacæ with which — in e Mee 
seeds. it differs ae e |
