Oss. As the ovarium increases the calyx is forced to spread 
out, it is now pubescent, in all the exposed part marked by 4 
lines converging to the cicatrix of the style and simulating well 
a Boragineous fruit. The placentz have become fleshy, and 
the proper cells of the ovula, quite complete (except adhe- 
sion.) 
This is evidently the Peronema canescens of Jack, who 
describes the ovary as 4-celled, and the ovules as erect, in 
which case a greater degree of affinity with Teetona would 
be manifested; he also describes the wing of the petiole as 
decurrent, i. e. derived from the leaflets. 
The inflorescence and aspect of the young fruit, is exactly 
that of Tectona, so is the appearance of the under surface 
of the leaves, although these perhaps are not siliceous. 1t 
osculates directly between the Vitex section and Tectona do.
