Obs. Genus a cll. Bentham ct Hooker ex fructu certe huc non spectante examinnto, 
(cf. Gen. pl. IIT, p. 151), eum Cryptocarya confusum, quamquam Neesius optimam 
baccae descriptionem, a Mcissnero repetitam, publici juris fecit. Quem fructum non 
verisimiliter ad stirpem alienam pertinentem" in specimino Poeppigiano a cl. Necs
