It is not necessary to repeat here the floral characters sufficientk 

 given by Mr. Bentham (I.e.). We are enabled to figure the plant 

 thanks to a small collection made by Mr. J. H. Lace, Assistant- 

 Conservator of Forests, forwarded to Kew by the Government of 

 India with permission to select desiderata. The specimens are 

 admirably selected, and dried with unusual care. Our figure of the 

 flowering plant is from one of Mr. Lace's specimens ; of the fruit, 

 previously unknown, from Dr. Aitchison's fine collection.— 1>-
