Flores minuti albi 4, ssepius 5-meri, odore ingrato, pedi-

Cupula carnosa alba denticulat inter stamina et pistillum, 
hoc ex dimidia parti obtegens. Ovarium stipitem crassum 
brevem terminans subovatum. Styli 4-5 parce pilosi, stig- 
mate totidem subcapitata. 
Potius ovaria 4-5 petalis opposita, parce pilosa l tantum 
fertile, sterilia interne sulcata, in stylos crassos, stigmata capi- 
tato-terminalis attenuata: fertile ovatum 1-loculare, ovulum 
1, terebinthacea, nempe pendulum e funiculo basi loculi affixo, 
foramen inferne spectans, stylus crassior brevior, stigma sub- 
simplex. 
It is remarkable, that the stigmata of the barren ovaria 
are alone developed, and alone shew the usual browning of 
fecundation ! Can therefore be any communication between 
these ovaria and the ovuliferous one.
