ORDER XVIL— OLACACE^, Lindl. Nat. Syst. p. 32. 



Trees or shrubs, sometimes climbing of 12 genera, containing about 

 29 species : 3 from New Holland ; 2 are common to several countries ; 1 

 from Martinique ; 1 from Guiana ; 1 from Guinea ; 1 from Jamaica ; 2 from 

 Madagascar ; 1 from Mauritius ; and 17 from the E. Indies. Of the latter, 

 which chiefly inhabit the Peninsula of India, but of which species are also 

 found in Lower Bengal, Chittagong, Silhet, the Khassya Mountains, 

 Ceylon and Java, 10 belong to Olax ; 1 to Ximenia ; 1 to Opilia ; 1 to 

 Slemonurus ; 3-4 to Gomphandra ; and 1 to Balanites. 



With the exception of the wood of Heistera coccinea, Jacq. {Partridge 

 wood of the Cabinet-makers), the properties of the order would seem to be 

 unimportant.
