670 RHIZOPHORACE.E, 
Stylus subulatus. Stigma radiis 4-bicalcaret minutis, pe- 
tala equante. 
Ovar. 9, 10 angulata. 
Ovaria l-loculare, placentis 4 ad centrum productis sed 
non unitis, intimo margine incrassato utrinque l-ovuligero, 
ovula, 8 pendula. 
The ovary is distinctly 1-celled at the base, all the ovula 
coming out together even from the pressure in cutting a 
transverse section, underneath the mass of ovula is a cru- 
ciately divided white cellulo filamentous looking substance. 
This is the contrary of what usually happens with regard 
to septa of compound fruit, which are very commonly in- 
complete towards the apex, but never, so far as I know com- 
plete in the middle and incomplete at the base. 
Evidently an undescribed species unless it is Loureirois 
sex angula. -

spongioso cellulosa, contained in a thick coriaceous leathery 
tegument, attached above round the base are the remains 
dark brown of the abortive ovula. 
Number of parts of flower uncertain 8 to 12, of ovary 
sometimes 3.
