 les plus rares et les plus curieuses, qui se trouvent dans cette nouvelle partie du monde.

Nota. Xeon tantum nota. De specie plane incerta sum. Corolla ex icone 4-partila, sta- 

 mina 6; habitus cum genere Styrax satis bene congruit, St. americanum in memoriam revocat.

Folia alternd, oblonga, integerrima, subacuminata, coriacea, crassinervia. Fructus 

 globosus, longe-pedunculatus, calycis margine persistente suffultus; nux indehiscens, 

 inaequalis, crassa, monosperma; semen immaturum (matura desideravimus) forma irre- 

 guläre. 



»Descriptio. Rami patentes, subgeniculati, laeves, griseo- vel fusco-flavescentes, 

 cicatricibus magnis, elevatis, supra planiusculis ramorum et foliorum lapsorum praediti; 

 folia longe (l — 1,5 cm) petiolata, petiolis subteretibus, supra subsulcatis, obscure fuscis, 

 supra laete viridia, infra pallidiora; limbus fere 13 cm longus, 6 cm latus; nervo medio 

 latiore, crassiore, in pagina superiore parumper prominulo ; nervis secundariis parallele- 

 arcuatis, intra-marginalibus ; pedunculi fructigeri 4 cm longi, ad fructus insertionem in- 

 crassati; fructus 1 1/3 cm diam. habens, perfecte sphaericus, externe subglaucus, interne 

 flavescens, durus, indehiscens, endocarpio flavescente, spongioso. Semen immaturum basi 

 truncatum et profunde-excavatum, lateribus convexum, dorso quasi arcuatum in apicem 

 acutiusculum, recurvum terminatum, corneum fuscum, intus ex massa homogenea com- 

 positum, haud embryonatum. «

Nota. Species a me non visa, mea opinione vix ad genus /S^«/raa; pertinere videtur. Fruc- 

 tus ab eis Styracis plane differt; calyx in fructibus Styracum semper remanet. Specimen quod- 

 dam herbarii lugduni-batavi , hoc nomine designatum, a Teysmann lectum accuratius exami- 

 navi; pertinet ad Dipterocarpacearum genus Vatica. 



St. Fortunei Hance in Journ. of Bot. XI. (1882) 36. — Cyrta agrestis Miers, 

 Contrib. Bot. I. (1851 — 1861) 181 (vix Lour.). — »In collibus circa Chin-kiang prov. 

 Kiang-Su, m. Maio 1880 coli. Bullock. The leaves are elliptic-oblong and abruptly 

 acuminated rather than elliptic, as described by Miers; but the plant agrees so very 

 well with bis character that I have no doubt it is identical with Fortune's of which 

 I have seen no authentic specimen. The flowers are generally 2 — 3 fasciculate along 

 tl^e leafy raceme-rhachis, and the corolla-segments are but very slightly imbricate. I think 

 it very improbable that Loureiro's Cyrta agrestis which Miers has not seen, is identical 

 with this plant, it is described as having ovate leaves.« 



Nota. Specimen a cl. Hance laudatum a me non visum.
