juiceless, usually more than 2-seeded. Griffith's Ternstrcemiacea from Khasia (Itin. 42, 

 Notul. iv. 5G8 ; Ic. t. 604, f. 1), probably belongs to this, although described with uni- 

 sexual flowers.

 white, then yellowish-purple. Petals twice the length of the sepals. (Ovary-cells 1- 

 ovuled, Thw.) Fruit oblong-ovoid, baccate, 2-seeded. As Choisy points out, this so 

 closely resembles the Brazilian T. cuneifolia as to be barely distinguishable.
