ERYTHROCHITON. 565 
Ovules 4 collateral pendulous anatropous produced up- 
wards into a wing. Pl. DCIII. Fig. II. 
Terminal scale buds 2 conduplicate vernation of leaf con- 
duplicate-involute. 
Oss. Genus indescriptis except its anthers which agree 
tolerably with those of Godoya. 
Certainly distinct from any Ternstraemiaceous genus known 
to me, it has the flowers of Camellia and appears to differ from 
Eusynaxis in the complete union of the styles, and  l-locular 
ovary and winged ovula. 
It is I imagine a congener of Roxb. Camellia axillaris 
Bot. Reg. 4 t. 349. Capsula in vol. 8 Notes, is des- 
cribed as woody oblong 5-celled, 5-valved, size of a filbert, 
with many upright top winged seeds in each cell. 
Axillary buds pilose.
