Cedrda, PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 423 



nily, flowering in April and May ; it grows also wild in the warmer 

 valley of Noakote, attaining a height of sixteen to twenty fee', with 

 a moderately thick stem, covered with whitish soft and spungy bark. 

 The wood is light, of a dull grey colour, and not employed for any 

 specific puipuses. — The leaves and flowers are somewhat smaller 

 than iliose of the Silhet tree ; bat otherwise they seem to agree. A 

 specific distinction may, perhaps, hereafter be established ; at pie- 

 sen i 1 am not prepared to venture an opinion on this subject. The 

 Is e war name is Fhurasee and Jeegna. — N. W. 



CEDRELA, Schreb. gen. N. 383. 



Calyx five-toothed. Corol five-petalled. Capsules five-celled, 

 five-valved. Seeds several in each cell, winged and imbricated on 

 a pentagonal receptacle. Embryo inverse, perisperm scanty. 



This genus is very nearly related to Swietenia, the chief marks of 

 distinction appear to me to be the number of stamina, viz. in Ce- 

 drela five, inserted on five nectarial glands which embrace the base 

 of the germ ; in Swietenia ten, inserted into the mouth of a sub- 

 cylindrical nectarium, which embraces the whole of the pistilluin. 

 In both the seed vessels, and seeds are very exactly alike.
