papillose. Fruit samaroid ; carpels 2, solute from axis (sometimes 

 with difficulty) dehiscent compressed and dorsally produced superior 

 to apex of style or shorter ; seeds scantily albuminous ; testa thin ; 

 cotyledons membraneous, often lateral. [East India, trop. W.

134. Baccaurea Lour.^ — Flowers monœcious or diœcious (nearly 

 of Richer iu or Sccurincga apetalous ; sepals 4,5, imbricated, sometimes 

 unequal. Disk or rudimentary, sometimes more rarely evolute 

 {Adenocrepis,^ Isandrion*). Stamens inserted below rudiment of 

 gyneeceum either equal in number to sepals and opposite them 

 {Hedycar'piis^ Calyptroon *), or sometimes 4-10, 2-seriate, or 1 -seriate, 

 some in pairs before each sepal ; filaments free ; anthers introrse or 

 more rarely extrorse {Cah/ptroon); cells longitudinally adnate and 

 rimose. Germen (in male flower rudimentary lobed) surrounded by 

 hypogynous disk more or less evolute or ; cells 2 [Isandrion.^ Adeno- 

 crepis, Calyptroon\oY 2, 3 {Pierardia'^), sometimes 4, b {Hedijcarpus) ] 

 ovules in each cell 2 ; obturator usiially thick ; style generally short 

 or very short {Adenocrepis) branches 2-5, rather wide, 2-3-lobed or 

 unequally lacerate, inwardly at apex papillose. Fruit 1-5-locular 

 indéhiscent ; pericarp pachydermous more or less fleshy ; seeds 

 albuminous more or less fleshy arillate.^ — Trees or shrubs ; loaves 

 alternate petiolate 2 -stipulate entire or denticulate penninerved ; ribs 

 and primary nerves prominent below ; indumentum simple, 

 stellate or ; flowers in axillary simple or ramified racemes ; bracts 

 often more or less connate, with peduncle usually cymose few- 

 flowered.^ {Trop, reyions of Asia, Oceania and IF. Africa}'^) 



135. TJapaca H. Bn.^' — Flowers diœcious apetalous ; calyx 

 gamophyllous, 4-5-dentate or sepals 4, 5, imbricated. Stamens
