The young petals of this species are distinctly carinate on the inner surface, and 

 therefore deviate a little from the ordinary structure of Unona, and approach some- 

 what to the outer series of the genus Goniothalamus. "When fully developed, how- 

 ever, they are very like those of the last 3pecies ; and the stamens, torus, ovary, and 

 fruit are precisely those of Unona. We have not seen enough of specimens in good 

 state to enable us to say with certainty that there is only one species ; but the general 

 habit of both varieties is so much alike, that we believe the differences will not be 

 found of specific importance when the flowers of both are better known.
