258 CAPRIFOLIACE E. 
albumine duplo circiter brevius. Radicula crassa supera. 
Cotyledones foliacez, planiusculz ? lanceolato-ovate. 
Has. Hindoo-Koosh Shingly bouldery ground about the 
Torrent, Upper Kaloo, alt. 11500 ft. In fruit in Sep. 1840. 
Oss. The outer layer of the ovarium in the youngest state 
I have seen it, is separable, from the body, with which it ap- 
pears to have no connection, only becoming continuous with 
the calycine lacini at their base, The body of the ovaria 
then presents 10 costz, not very prominent, 5 opposite the 
sepals and continuous with their central veins, 5 alternate. 
The union of the placentz in the axis appears slight, no 
particular ovulum appears to be fecundated, I have not been 
able to ascertain positively whether the position of the raphe 
relative to the placenta is due to a torsion of the funiculus. 
- This appears to be an undescribed genus, approaching so 
far as the characters in Endlicher's Genera go, to Lonicera 
and Triosteum, As however it approaches in habit some- 
what to Lonicera bracteata, Royles Illust. t. 53 and agrees 
tolerably with the character of Lonicera, chamacerasus. 
End. Gen. no. 3337. I have referred itto that genus, 
it may be necessary to look at the bractez again, —parti- 
cularly the fruit.
