The flowers of our specimen are detached, so that I cannot describe 

 the inflorescence, nor does our material suffice for some other not im- 

 portant details ; bat the plant is interesting as entirely Pachira, almost 



e common P. aquatica, Aubl., in appearance of the flower, while the 

 psnle is that of a typical Bombax. 1 understand my friend Dr. 

 Schumann, who monographed the Bombacese of 'Flora Bra silien sis, 

 Proposes to unite these genera— I think, rightly. This plant, he in- 

 tormed me, was new to him.-D. Oliver.
