The affinities of Lacistemece are obscure ; but most obvious with Samydete in the alternate often 

 pellucid-dotted leaves, stipules, disk, 1-celled ovary with parietal placentas, style, stigmas, thin septi- 

 ferous valves of the capsule, albuminous seed and embryo. 1 think that they can hardly be regarded 

 otherwise than as reduced Samydea ; and, in fact, Lindley observes that they may when not in flower be 

 easily mistaken for Casearias. The species, of which there are about sixteen, are all tropical American, 

 and have no known uses. ED.]
