RUTACE ZA. 477 
cymes! (Trop. Asia, Ind. and Pac. Archipelago, Australia, N. Zealand, 
N. Caledonia, Mascaren. Isles, Malasia’). 
43. Bouchardatia H. By.‘—F lowers (nearly of Zvodia), 4-merous ; 
calyx short, imbricated. Petals longer, imbricated. Stamens 8, 
inserted with perianth towards base of elongated obpyramidal 
receptacle; filaments dilated at base, subpetaloid; anthers in- 
trorse, 2-rimose. Carpels 4, oppositipetalous, inserted at summit 
of receptacle; germen free; ovules in each about 12, 2-seriate, 
descending ; styles inserted slightly below apex at internal angle of 
germen, afterwards coalescing in conoid column, stigmatiferous, 
scarcely capitate at apex. Mature carpels free, folliculiform, dehis- 
cent ; endocarp curved, veined, separating ; seeds few, albuminous. 
—A small glabrous tree ; leaves opposite, petiolate, pinnate, 3-folio- 
late ; terminal foliole long petiolulate ; flowers‘ in opposite-ramified 
terminal cymes (Worth-eastern Australia’). 
44. Bosistoa F. Muezz.®—Flowers hermaphrodite; calyx short, 
gamophyllous, 5-dentate. Petals 5, valvate, inflexed at apex; sta- 
mens 10, 2-seriate, inserted below disk, and prominent between 
filaments dilated at base; anthers rather large, introrsely 2-rimose. 
Carpels 5, oppositipetalous, free ; germens in internal angle 5, 6-ovu- 
late; ovules 2-seriate, descending; micropyle extrorse, superior; styles 
inserted at summit of internal angle of germen, afterwards slightly 
cohering among themselves, finally solute, stigmatiferous, not di- 
lated at apex. Fruit cocci 1-5, large, free, coriaceous, compressed, 
2-valved; endocarp cartilaginous, separating ; seeds solitary; testa 
membranous; embryo exalbuminous; cotyledons thick, fleshy; radicle 

1 A genus scarcely distinguished from Zan- 
thoxylon, except by very artificial characters. 
From the peculiar configuration of the receptacle 
and disk we can find no good generic dis- 
tinction.
