The third character confirmed is the presence of a spiral 

 strophiole at the chalazal end of the seed ; this has been verified 

 for D. leionema. 



It may be useful to give a brief generic description of Dubou- 

 zetia. The one published by Szyszylowicz in Engl. Jahrb., 

 vol. vi. (1885), p. 453, is excellent, but he unfortunately over- 

 looked the two additional species described by Brongniart and 

 Gris in 1863, which necessitated a widening of the generic 

 characters, and it is stated in his description that the stamens are 

 inserted below the ovary and disk, instead of between them. 

 This is apparently a typographical error, infra being inserted in 

 place of inter. The same mistake occurs in the description of 

 Grinodendron on the same page.

According to Szyszylowicz, Duhouzetia is closely allied to 

 Grinodendron (Tricuspidaria) y and more distantly to Elaeo- 

 carpus tor further taxonomic and morphological details,
