666 RHIZOPHORACEX. 
lato-clavata leviter verrucos. calycis tubus obovato obpyri- 
form, laciniis immulatis reflexis. 
Has. Malacca. In littoribus limosis, Pulo Bissar. 
Differs from R. conjugata in its smaller stature, length of 
style, and smaller radicles, more villous petals, more elon- 
gated base of flower, etc. 
The species are very difficult of discrimination, no charac- 
ters can be drawn from the leaves. 
1. Portion of a plant nat. size, except the fruit, which is 
not fully developed. 
. 2. Bud, the sinuses have subprocesses, wherein another 
approach to Lythrariz. 
3,4,5. Views of expanded flowers. 
6. Partium situs et alternation. 
7. Lateral of anthers, alternate with petals. 
8. Oblique of anther opposed to petal, 1 am not sure 
whether the one is mucronate, the other is emucronate 
alwa 
9. Transverse of anther. 
10. Calyx and pistillum, one lacinia of calyx removed. 
1l. Long section of pistillum, below the ovula is much lax 
filamento-cellular substance, a provision for the rapid 
growth of the embryo. 
13. Ovulum. 
.14. Long section of do., I am not sure whether they have a 
second tegmen or not, if so, it is united to nucleus the 
cavity of which at this period is very distinct. 
The ovarium of Rhizophorez, is at an early period alto- 
gether superior, consisting of two fleshy scales with their 
margins rolled in; if mature it would be described as ovaria 
e folliculis 2 compositum. 
The calyx then consists of 4 triangular thick coriaceous 
Sepals, entirely enclosed in the connate bractes, the inner 
angle cedi in the axis; except at the base, it is at a later
