Although I have not ascertained the direction of the radicle, our 
material being scarcely adequate, yet from the character of the fruit 
and the few ovules, which appear to be laterally attached, I follow 
M. Baillon (lc.) in referring this plant to Schima rather than to 
ordonia. Sir J. Hooker (I.c.) points out also that the ‘ capitate central 
receptacle’ of the capsule accords with Blume’s character of Rein- 
wardt’s genus Schima.—O. Srapr.
