306 TENTANDRTA MONOGYNIA. Euthemh, 



■the dried state. From each side of the rib, which is rather strong and 

 prominent, issue a great number of alteinatin?, -capillary, exceeding- 

 ly fine, slightly divided and reticulate nerves, which proceed in a cur- 

 ved and oblique, not altogether parallel direction, towards the ci renin- 

 ierence of the leaf, where they unite by means of others formed by 

 two or more of the lowermost nerves, and seve:al from the middle of 

 the rib, on each side, running along the margin in parallel directions 

 at the distance of a line or two from it, as wed as from each other, 

 some continuing to the very apex, others disappearing in the separate 

 vessel, which lies extremely close to the margin, sending from thence 

 a minute somewhat thickened ramification to each individual toothlet. 

 The veins are so minute as not to-be visible except under the lens, 

 ihey are exceedingly approximate, parallel, reticulated, transversal 

 with respect to the leaf, but oblique in regard to the nerves between 

 which they proceed backward and forward. — Tetiol from half an 

 inch to an inch long, more or less margined, sometimes even serru- 

 late aown to the very base iu consequence of the decurrent base of 

 ihe leaf. Stipules axillary, opposite, erect, intra-axillary, from four 

 to five lines long, caducous, leaving a peimauent vestige, narrow- lan- 

 ceolai, sub-laciniate and deeply divided into filiform long teeth, pa- 

 lallel-nerved. Fi notification not seen. 



Ohs. Although 1 have not been so fortunate as to meet with this 

 plant in fl.-wer yet 1 have little doubt that it belongs to the same geuir3 

 with the preceding two species which I have found growing in fo- 

 rests at Singapore and the adjacent small islands near the sea-shore, 

 in flower and fruit in September and October. E. leucocarpa I have 

 likewise met with on the island of Pinang. The foliation and sti- 

 pulation is the same in aL three. In that shrub the nerves are ex- 

 ceedingly close to each other and quite parallel; the margins and 

 curved teeth are cartilaginous ; in E minor the nerves are scarcely 

 visible. The leaves in the last described species are sub-char lace- 

 ousj m the others they are rigid and coriaceous. — N. W.
