i&S PENTANDKIA MONOG\NlA. ScllOepfia. 



seeded; ovula erect — Style filiform, smooth. Stigma sub-clavate, 

 obtuse, fi\e-lobed, lifted up to the height of the stamina. 1 have 

 only .seen unripe fruits which seem to indicate a small, sub-rotund, 

 five-celled crowned berry, some of the cells perhaps abortive, 



Obs. JNot having seen the ripe fruit J am doubtful whether this 

 shrub in reality belongs to the family under which I have for the pre- 

 sent placed it; its crowded, axillary, sub-involucred inflorescence 

 seems to point at a generic difference. It seems nearly allied to Sa^ 

 bicea, from which it differs only in the fruit not having many-seeded 

 cells. 



SCHOEPFIA. Schreb. 



Calyx above, entire, very narrow. Corolla infundibuliform. Ova-

J. S. frit grans, Wall. 



Leaves lanceolate, acuminate. Racemes axillary, solitary. Ota" 

 rium three. celled. Drupe ovate, one-seeded, 



1 have found this tree in various parts of Nipal, in less elevated si- 

 tuations, from Becheako, as far as the valley, where it is rather com- 

 mon. It has also been brought tome from more northeily situations. 

 It blossoms during the rainy season, and ripens its fruit from Decem- 

 ber to March.

 other parts perfectly smooth, marked with numerous alternating 

 many-scaled small buds. — Leaves scattered, several times longer
