8&4 ANNALS OF THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUTTA. 
figure prepared for me by Miss M. Smith in the Kew Herbarium both of the Wallichian 
sheet No. 6489 and of Lobb’s Singapore specimen. Roxburgh’s species Uvaria nitida 
(Fl. Ind. ii. 668) is stated by him to be a-native of the Moluccas. I have seen no 
specimens of it. 
Prats 92. Polyalthia nitida, Benth. §& H. f. 1, Fruiting branch (drawn from Wail. 
Cat, 6439); 2, flower and leaf—of natural size; 3 & 4, anthers, back and front view; 
5, pistil (drawn from Lobb’s ee il specimen)—enlarged. 
39. Poxyatrura pirartA, Benth. § Hook. fil. Gen. Pl. i. 25; Hook. fil. Fl. Br. 
Ind. i. 62.  Guatteria bifaria, A. DC. Mem. Anon. 41; Wall. Cat. 6447; Hook. fil. & 
Thoms. Fl. Ind. 139. The only known specimens of this are those collected by Wallich 
in 1826 on the Prome Hills in Burmah, and subsequently issued by him as 6447 of his 
Catalogue. It has never been collected since; and I have little doubt that, as suggested 
by Sir Joseph Hooker, the species is a mixture of the flowers of P. simiarum with 
the leaves and twigs of P. cerasoides. 
40. PoLYALTHIA MEMBRANACEA (Guatteria membranacea, A. DC. Mem. Anon. 41; Hook. 
jil. & Th. Fl. Ind. 142). With regard to this species, Sir J. D. Hooker and Dr. Thomson — 
remark (J. ¢.):—‘‘We cannot identify this with anything in Wall. Cat. from Tavoy, so 
that Peel the only specimens known are at Geneva.” 
41. Poryanrara cautiriora, H. f. & Th. Fl. Ind. 138; Fl. Br. Ind. i. 66. This is 
known only from Wallich’s specimen collected at Sthoapeee (Cat. No. 6476). In order 
to assist m its rediscovery, I give a figure drawn by Miss Smith from the Wallichian 
sheet above quoted. | 
Pirate 116. Polyalthia cauliflora, H. f. & Th. 1, Leafy branch with remains of 
a flower; 2, a pair of flowers—of natural size; 3 & 4, stamens; 5, pistil; 6, pistil with 
vertical section of the ovary—enlarged. 
13. Anaxagorea, St. Hilaire. 
Trees or shrubs. Leaves with pellucid dots. Flowers small, greenish, leaf-opposed. 
Sepals 3, valvate, connate at the base. Petals 6 or 3, sub-equal, 2-seriate, valvate, the 
inner row sometimes absent. TZsrus convex. Stamens indefinite; anther-cells extrorse or 
sub-lateral; connective with a terminal process. Ovaries few; style variable; ovules 
2, sub-basal, collateral, ascending. Rive carpels follicular; stalk clavate. Seeds 1—2, 
exarillate, testa shining. Distrib.—Tropical Asia and America; species about 8.
