Paramignya.} xxxiu. RUTACE.E. (J. D. Hooker.) 511 



few small dry fibres only which are scarcely to be traced when dry, oblong ; testa mem- 

 branous. This plant is unknown to me; the description is taken from Roxburgh's 

 Flora Indica and drawings. Prof. Oliver referred to it the preceding species, which 

 differs in the form of the stamens, and (if Roxburgh's figure of the ovary is correct) in 

 wanting a style, but the said figures resemble what an ovary would be were the style 

 fallen away. 1 refer it to Paragmignya from the long anther and pointed fruit. Kurz 

 has pointed out that Oliver's P. citrifolia and Griffith's Citrus scandens cannot both 

 be the same as Roxburgh's Limonia citrifolia (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, Pt. 2, 69). 



5. P. long-ispina, Nook. f. ; glabrous, spines long straight, leaflet 

 oblong subacute, flowers solitary small, pedicel very short, calyx 5-toothed, 

 filaments short equalling the linear anthers, ovary-cells 3-4 4-ovuled, fruit 

 3-4-angied. 



MALACCA, Maine/ay. 



Branches stout ; spines opposite and alternate, straight, sometimes 2 in. long. Leaf- 

 let 3-4 in., base cordate ; petiole very short. Floiuers | in. long ; pedicel very short. 

 Calyx-lobes obtuse. Petals oblong, obtuse. /Stamens 10, equal, glabrous ; anthers as 

 long as the filaments, narrow, with a long apiculus. , Ovary glabrous, stipitate ; style 

 stout, cylindric ; ovules superposed in pairs. Fruit 1-1 1 in. long, between globose and, 

 ovoid, pointed, 3-4-celled ; rind thick, coriaceous, glandular, pulp 0. Seeds 2-4 in each 

 cell, oblong, compressed, narrowed at the base into a short beak. This description is 

 mainly taken from Maingay's notes. 



6. P. armata, Oliv. in Journ. Linn. Soc. v. Suppl. ii. 43 ; glabrous, 

 spines straight or recurved, leaflet elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate obtusely 

 caudate-acuminate, flowers small solitary or fascicled, pedicel very slender, 

 calyx obtusely 4-5-lobed, ovary-cells 3-4 usually 1-ovuled. Arthromischus 

 armatus, Tliwaites Enum. 47. 



CEYLON ; in the hotter parts of the Island, common. 



A scandent shrub ; branches stout or slender, straight or flexuous. Leaflet 2-3 in., 

 base rounded, nerves indistinct ; petiole exceedingly short. Flowers in. long, 45- 

 inerous ; pedicels f in. ; buds obovoid. Calyx minute. Petals oblong, very much im- 

 bricated. Filaments linear-subulate, pilose ; anthers linear-oblong. Ovary hairy ; 

 style long, cylindric, stigma dilated. Fruit ^-f in. diam., subglobose, pulpy, yellow, 

 1-4-secded. 



20. ATALANTIA, Correa. 



Unarmed or spinous shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate, 1-foliolate, cori- 

 aceous, persistent, quite entire or crenulate ; stipule-like scales are often 

 present at the base of the petioles and spines, which belong to undeveloped 

 leaf-buds. Flowers axillary rarely terminal, fascicled or in short racemed 

 corymbs or panicles, rarely solitary. Calyx 3-5-lobed or ^partite, rarely 

 irregularly split. Petals 3-5, free or adnate to the stamens and united with 

 them into a tube, imbricate. Stamens 6-8, rarely 15-20, inserted round an 

 annular or cupular disk, filaments free or irregularly connate subequal or 

 the alternate shorter ; anthers short, ovate-oblong or base cordate (linear- 

 oblong in A. missionis). Ovary 2- or 4- rarely 3- or 5-celled ; style deci- 

 duous, stigma capitate ; ovules solitary or 2 collateral in each cell. Jlern/ 

 large, subglobose, 1-5-celled, 1-5-seeded, rind thick. Seeds oblong ; 

 cotyledons fleshy, plano-convex. DISTKIB. Species about 10, tropical 

 Asiatic and 1 Australian. 



* Antliers broadly ovoid. Ovary sessile on a short disk ; stigma clavate. 

 t Calyx irregularly lobed } split to the base on one side. 

 1. A. monophylla, Correa ; DC. Prodr. i. 535 ; leaflet elliptic or 

 ovate-oblong, tip obtuse or 2-lobed, flowers fascicled or shortly racemed,
