A remarkable and beautiful tree, which bears the name of a very intelligent and 
zealous investigator of the Botany of Moulmayn, the Rev. 0. Parish, who procured speci- 
mens of this plant from the Andaman Islands, and communicated them to Sir William 
Hooker. The first aspect of the specimens recalls Melanorrhcea — a native of the neigh- 
bouring Birmese States, and also an Anacardieous tree, remarkable for the size, abundance, 
and conspicuous character of its flowers ; but whereas it is the petals of Melanorrhcea 
that are foliaceous and accrescent after flowering, it is the sepals of Parishia that assume 
this remarkable character. Parishia further differs from Melanorrhcea in the quater- 
nary flowers, the small disk, and few stamens ; and its lateral ovule places it in another 
division of the Suborder. Its nearest ally is undoubtedly Astronium, a Brazilian genus 
also with accrescent sepals, and which differs mainly, in habit, in having quinary flowers 
and longer styles.

Hab. In peninsula Malayana ad Malacca, beat. Griffith. 
The genus Trigonochlamys belongs to the Suborder Burserea of Terebmt hacece , distin- 
guished by the two collateral ovules, exalbuminous seeds, and plaited or crumpled cotyle- 
dons, and to a tribe distinguished by the free ovary (which is 3-4-celled), drupaceous or
