funnel shaped, very hairy on the outside, and filiate.— ZVwpe near- 

 ly round, size of a small gooseberry, when ripe white, and to- 

 rulose. Nut two-celled, dark brown, wrinkled ; between it and 

 the white exterior pulpy covering there is a white toru!o«e, sottish 

 cartilaginous coat.— Seed one in each cell. Embryo lodged in a 

 -considerable portion of whitish albumen. Cotyledons two, o\ah 

 Radicle inferior, shorter than the lobes,

Leaves opposite, short-petioled ? elliptic, entire, smooth. Pe= 

 dunctes axillary, few-flowered. 



A native of the Moluccas; a slender shrubby species, very differ^ 

 eat in habit from S. Kon'wii. 



CINCHONA. Schreb. Gen. N. 301. 



Calyx five-toothed. Corol funnel-shaped. Germ inferior, two- 

 celled, attachment interior. Capsule two-celled, with the partition 

 parallel. Seeds many, imbricated ; membrane-winged. Embryo 

 erect, and furnished with a perisperm. 



Obs. That part of the above character which makes the partition 

 parallel does not agree with the only two East India species I have 

 yet met with. In them the partition is contrary. 



Obs. by N. ff. 



The trees alluded to in the preceding observation, form with two 

 others a distinct genus, which I propose calling Hymenodic/yon, and 

 which may be thus characterised. 



Calyx -above, five-toothed. Corolla infundibuliform, with a five, 

 parted limb. Filaments very short, smooth, inserted under the laux^ 

 anthers within the limb.— Capsule two-celled, two-valved, with a con? 

 trary ventral dissepiment. Seeds flat, imbricated on a septal p'acenta, 

 which becomes free at length} surrounded by a reticulate wing 

 (whence the name.)
