 villosa, antherae ellipticae, obtusae, introrsae, dorso supra basin emarginatam affixae, 

 connectivo dorso latiore atro-purpureo glabro; pollinis granula trigono-placentiformia, 

 3-porosa. Germen (floris <$ rudimentarium) obcordato-tricoccum, villosum, stylo fili- 

 form! inter coccos inserto sursum (i. e. versus floris partem superiorem sepalum 4. 

 ferentem) curvato, stigmate subtridentato; gemmulae erectae, basi affixae, oblique 

 ascendentes, apotropae, campylotropae. Fructus drupaceus, deorsum coccato-lobatus, 

 tricoccus vel abortu 2 — 1-coccus, coccis obovato-oblongis, ima basi connatis, oblique 

 erectis, sarcocarpio tenui succulento, putamine chartaceo-crustaceo, fibris scleren- 

 chymaticis longis cruciatim intertextis exstructum. Semen erectum cocco conforme, 

 testa membranacea; embryo rectiusculus; cotyledones crassae, amyligerae, verticaliter 

 juxtapositae, altera dorsali altera ventrali; radicula basilaris, punctiformis. 



Arbor sat magna vel frutex ramulis junioribus innovationibusque velutino-tomen- 

 tosis. Folia sparsa, abrupte pinnata, 2 — 8-juga, petiolata, exstipulata; foliola sub- 

 opposita, breviter petiolulata, deorsum decrescentia, suboblonga, obtusa, subacuta vel 

 acuminata, integerrima, pilis sufferrugineis subtus plerumque molliter pubescentia, 

 sero glabrescentia, nervis praesertim subtus prominentibus curvato-adscendentibus 

 ante marginem anastomosantibus, epidermide non mucigera, utrinque glandulis micro- 

 scopicis capitatis stipitatis capitulo multicellulari singulis vel binis-quaternis plerumque 

 pilis approximatis creberrimis ornata, cellulis secretoriis persita, secus nervös praesertim 

 subtus utriculis laticiferis instructa, crystallis (praeter nervis et venis adjecta) nullis. 

 Thyrsi in paniculas amplas ramosas congesti vel fasciculati, terminales, omnibus 

 partibus bracteis bracteolisque subulatis inclusis tomento velutino induti, dense 

 cymulas subsessiles gerentes. Flores petalis albis. Fructus edulis. 



Species 1, per Asiam tropicam usque ad Australiae oram late divulgata. 



Genus petalorum et disci conformatione Paullinieis quodammodo similis, foliorum indole vero 

 diversissimum, fructus fabrica generi Allophylus et praesertim generi Aphania accedens et huic 

 ulteriori embryonis et foliorum »indole certe maxime affine, quasi Aphaniae Sectio floribus sym- 

 metricis (ut ex. gr. inter Sapindeas Pseudatalaya, Loxothouinidium, Dittelasma in generibus Atalaya, 

 Thouinidium et Sapindus, inter Lepisantheas Anomosanthes et Anomorhiza in genere Lepisanthes), 

 attamen ob fructus formam, endocarpii structuram et glandularum microscopicarum figuram et 

 positionem genus proprium habendum.
