This is the Bopple Sambing, a virulent poison is produced 
from its seed. ; 
If it be found to be distinct from S. carinatus it is to be 
called S. virulentus. 
Iam not certain about the stigmatic surface, for although the 
whole base of the style, indeed, all below the disc is papillose 
especially towards the ovaria, yet appearances suggest, that 
the tubes, will pass into the style tissue, not along outside 
until they reach the ovary, although from the articulation tak- 
ing place on the apices of the ovaria; such a course would be - 
anomalous. Emission of tubes in another seen, but no fecun- 
dation or penetration. |
