I leave this plant in Sonerilay notwithstanding the tetramerons 

 symmetry of its flowers and dimorphic biseriate stamens. It is allied 

 to that section of the genus to which 8. heterostemon^ Naud. and 



S* Uensimty Hk. f, belong. — D. Oliver.

This genus combines some of the characters of various genera of the 

 Inchihece but is perhaps, on the whole, nearest Dysoxylum. In foliage 

 It so closely resembles Carapa (Xyloearpus) that Kurz ( Journ. Asiatic 

 Soc. xxxix. 2 (18/0), p. 72) places it in that genus.-W. B. Hemslet.
