This species is very distinct by its inflorescence from the 
original Apodytes dimidiata, as well as from A. acutifolia, 
Hochst., and two other undescribed species in Sir William 
Hooker’s Herbarium. The section of Olacinee to which 
Mr. Bentham has justly referred this genus, will be increased 
by several genera, new or already known; and I may mention, 
_ among the latter the Pennantia, Forster, referred, upon 2° 
_ good ground, by M. Reisseck to the Order Terebinthacee.
