On account of its ovary and ovules, we connot relate this plant 
to any other genus than Hugenza. However, the 3 cells of the 
ovary is not very usual in that genus and in order to give an idea 
of the habit we must rather compare our plant to .Veltér’s panicu- 
Zata and vztéensts, from which it differs even on the exterior by the 
glabrescence and the form of the inflorescence. 
Our plant resembles also &. Afoontana Wight, Ill. IT, 13, especi- 
ally concerning the form and size of the leaves. But if we consider 
the figure given by Wight in his Icones, II, 551, we see that Au- 
genia Afooniana differs from ours also by its larger flowers which 
are much longer pedunculate and always solitary at the end of one 
peduncle.
