have ventured to remove it. A third species, doubtfully referred to the genus Cananga 
under the specific name monosperma, appears to me from the description (I have seen 
no good specimens) to be so doubtful that I exclude it altogether. The seeds both 
of this species and of C. edoratum are peculiar. I quote the following excellent 
description of those of @, odoratum from Hooker fil. & Thomson’s Flora Indica, 
page 130:—“The seeds are pitted like those of the section Kentia, of Melodorum, and 
of some Cucurbitacee ; and the inner surface of the brownish-yellow, brittle testa is 
covered with sharp tubercles, which penetrate into the albumen, taking the place of 
4 
the flat plates which are found in the rest of the order.”

3-flowered shortly pedunculate racemes; pedicels slender, 15 to 2 in. long, recurved, 
puberulous, with one median -and several basal, small, often deciduous bracts. Sepals 
free or joined at the base only, about °35 in. long, triangular, tapering to a blunt 
point, reflexed, Petals linear-lanceolate, 3 to 3°25 in. long and ‘3 in, wide, adpressed- 
sericeous when young. Ovaries sessile, narrowly oblong; stigma hemispheric. Ripe 
carpels from 10 to 12, pedicellate, oblong-obovoid, glabrous, blunt, °65 to ‘9 in. long, 
nearly black when ripe, pulpy ; stalks from ‘5 to ‘75 in. long. Seeds 6 to 12,
