516 PROF. OLIVER ON THREE NEW GENERA OF PLANTS 
elongata basin versus angustiora compressa, raphe laterali notata, i poll. longa ; 
albumen carnosum ; embryo albumine dimidio brevior rectus v. curvulus, radicula 
supera cylindrica v. subclavata cotyledonibus anguste lineari-lanceolatis paulo 
breviore. 
Hab. Malacca, Dr. Maingay ! We have received the same or a closely allied species from Borneo, both 
from the late Mr. Motley and from M. Beccari (no. 1611). 
CTENOLOPHON, Oliv. 
An Olacinearum genus novum anomalum ? 
Flores hermaphroditi. Calyx 5-sepalus coriaceus persistens fructifer immutatus; sepala rotundata con- 
cava, æstivatione late imbricata. Petala 5 libera oblonga apice sub anthesin reflexa, æstivatione 
contorto-imbricata. Stamina 10 libera glabra in disco hypogyno brevissimo annulari inserta; fila- 
menta filiformia, alterna breviora; antheræ rotundate obtuse et brevissime apiculate, 2-loculares, 
longitudinaliter dehiscentes; pollinis granula majuscula compressa polygona. Ovarium liberum 
brevissime stipitatum hirsutum septo perforato biloculare, in stylum longiusculum apice 2-fidum 
continuum ; stigmata terminalia capitellata ; ovala 1 in loculis aera pus collateralia. Fructus 
lignoso-coriaceus v. crustaceus, siccus, unil v. obovoideus obtusus, 
styli basi persistente apiculatus, pericarpio rade Fin paue. Semen (perfectum non vidi) 
ab apice placentæ centralis libere pendulum, dorso per longitudinem crista arilloidea multifido-pecti- 
nata ornatum. Embryo 
Arbores ; ramuli teretes glabri. Folia ipod simplicia petiolata coriacea glabra integra elliptica v. ob- 
longo-elliptica. Inflorescentia terminalis paniculata puberula v. incano-tomentella. 
1. C. PARVIFOLIUS, Oliv. Foliis ellipticis, breviter obtuse acuminatis, ovarii cavitate fere 
ad basin styli attingente. 
Hab. Malaya, Dr. Maingay! (No. 382, Kew distr.) 
Ramuli teretiusculi glabri cortice atro-purpurascente sublævi obducti. Folia opposita petiolata coriacea 
elliptica, breviter et obtuse acuminata, basi rotundata, integra, glabra, supra nitentia, subtus venulis 
prominulis grosse reticulata; lamina 2-3 (-43) poll. longa, 14-13 poll. lata; petiolus canaliculatus 
1-4 poll. longus, caule inter petiolos linea transversa notato. Inflorescentia terminalis cano-tomen- 
tosa folia vix aut paulo superantia; flores + poll. longi numerosi breviter crassiuscule pedicellati, 
cymosim paniculati; pedunculi oppositi 2—3-chotome divisi; bracteæ parvae ovato-deltoideæ lineam 
longæ caduce; pedicelli tomentelli calycem æquantes v. eodem breviores. Sepala 5 rotundata con- 
cava coriacea late imbricata persistentia, fructus immutata, extus breviter tomentosa, intus subglabra. 
Petala 5 erecta, calyce 4-plo longiora, oblonga, apice denique plus minus recurva, coriacea, extus cano- 
puberula, margine æstivatione obtecto glabrato. Stamina 10 libera glabra intra marginem disci 
inserta; filamenta filiformia ; antheræ rotundate breviter obtuse apiculatæ, dorsi prope basin affixe. 
Ovarium globoso-ovoideum hirsutum, basi disco circumdati, brevissime et abrupte angustatum, 2-lo- 
culare, dissepimento utrinque lateraliter perforato apice completo, loculis fere ad basin styli attin- 
gentibus; ovula geminata collateralia pendula. Stylus elongatus basi dilatatus hirtus, sursum glaber 
2-suleatus, apice breviter 2-fidus ; stigmata terminalia capitellata. Fructus ellipsoideus obtusus api- 
culatus 1-locularis j-$ poll. longus, pericarpio sicco crustaceo-lignoso per longitudinem unilatera- 
liter dehiscente. Semen (perfectum non vidi) ab apice placentz centralis a dorso crista aril- 
loidea bifariam pectinata ornatum.
