Aglaia? PENTANDRIA monogynia, 427 



stamina are five in number, and are inserted in the manner of the 

 Meiiacea on the inside of an ovate nectarial tube, which is contract- 

 ed at the month, and conceals the anthers. The stigma is large, 

 sessile, simple as far as I have observed, not double as stated by 

 Loureiro. The ovary appeals to be one-ceiled, and to contain two 

 pendulous ovula. It rarely ripens its fruit in these Islands, but ac- 

 cording to Loureiro it bears a small, red, one-seeded berry. The 

 flowers are very small, yellow and fragrant, in small axillary panicles. 

 — In the Hortus Bengalensis, p. 18. this plant is specified under 

 the name of Camunium sinense after Rumphius. The Murraya 

 panicul nta above described is the true Kamuning of the Malays, and 

 the name C. sinense is only applied by Rumphius in the manner 

 of the older botanical authors, as one of comparison and resem- 

 blance for want of a better of native origin ; if therefore the generic 

 name Camunium is to be adopted at all, it ought to be applied to 

 the plant to which it really belongs, and cannot be admitted for one 

 of a different family, not indigenous to the Malay Islands. On this 

 account Loureiro's name is to be preferred." — N. W.

2. Arfaia ? decandra, Wall. 



Arboreous. Leaves pinnate, with asfaras six pairs of oblong, acu- 

 minate leaflets, with semi-cuneate base. Panicles axillary, pube- 

 scent, equalling the leaves in length, consisting of long, simple racemes, 

 of globular, long-peduncled, decandrous flower*. Fruit five-seedtd. 



I have found it rather sparingly on Nag C/rjoon and Sheopore iu 

 Nipal, flowering in May, and with unripe fruit in July. 



Avery large spreading tree, with a thick trunk, covered with pretty 



smooth, grey bark. — Branches thick, round, marked with vestiges of 



the insertion of the fallen leaves, greyish, callous, clotted, pubescent, 



while young villous, as are also the leaves. Leaves alternate, ap- 



proximate, spreading, about a foot long, pinnate with an odd leafier,
