white ciliate apex. Stamens 24 ; anthers elongate, deeply cordate ; the 

 filaments short and with long white hairs. Female flowers unknown. 

 Fruit globular, as large as an orange, on a thick peduncle '25 in. 

 long ; the rind minutely granular, tawny- velvetty, the outer layer 

 thick and fibrous, the inner thin. Seeds numerous, irregularly oval, 

 embedded in pulp. Hydnocai'pus heteropliyllus, Kurz (not of Blume)

This is the plant referred to in Hooker's Fl. B. Ind. i. 197 as " too 

 immature for description." Since that remark was written, better 

 material was got from Burmah, on which Kurz described the species in 

 his Forest Flora as Hyd7iocarpus heterojphylla, Bl., with Blume's descrip- 

 tion of which it, however, manifestly disagrees. Kurz had modified the 

 description of the genus Hydnocarpus to admit this plant. Female 

 fiowers of it I have never seen: but the males agree with those of 

 TaraJctogenos.
