 wardly more or less pulpy ; cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo 

 thick more or less unequal and curved. — Trees or shrubs ; leaves 

 alternate pari- or imparipinuate ; folioles opposite or subopposite 

 eutire ; flowers ' in axillary and terminal subsimple or ramified cymi- 

 ferous racemes. (Ind. AvcIl") 



20 ? Anomosanthes Bl.' Flowers polygamo-dioecious regiUar 

 (nearly of Sapindus or Cupania) ; sepals 5, imbricated. Petals 5, 

 imbricated, furnished within with small scales. Stamens 8, rather 

 short interior to thick annular glabrous disk, at first thinner or 

 emarginate, thence thicker. Germen 3-locular ; style short, stigmati- 

 ferous entire or 3-lobed at apex. Fruit 3 -agonal, sub-entire or sub- 

 3-lobed ; seeds exarillate ascendent ; cotyledons of thick exalbuminous 

 embryo superposed unequal. — Glabrous or tomentose trees ; leaves 

 alternate imparipiunate ; inflorescence of Jagera or Lejnsanthis* (East. 

 Cont. India, Ind. Arch.^) 



21. Macphersonia Bl.'' — Flowers polygamous regular ; sepals 5

 in male flower inserted below rudiment of gynajceum, 2-plicate, in 

 geniculate bud, finally subulate exserted ; anthers introrse, 2-rimose. 

 Germen (rudimentary in male flower) central substipitate, 3-locular ; 

 style short stigmatiferous 3-lobed at apex ; ovule in cells solitary as- 

 cendent ; micropyle extrorsely inferior. Fruit stipitate obliquely
