themselves; calyx deeply cut into 4 (rarely 5) triangular thick concave 

 segments ; petals none; stamens 4, exserted, the filaments dilated at 

 the base ; styles and ovary rudimentary. Female floivers on the same 

 branches as the males, sessile; calyx-tube slightly elongated, the lobes of 

 the mouth smaller than iu the male, staminodes shorter than the calyx- 

 lobes ; ovary tetragonous, included in the calyx-tube, the styles 

 exserted ; fruit ovoid or elliptic, tapering to each end, glabrous, with 

 vertical purple stripes, 2-3 in. long and 1-1*25 iu. in diam. ; pericarp

This resembles A. Gaudichaudiana, Baill. in the shape of its leaves which are, 

 however, much thinner in texture and more caudate-acuminate. It differs from 

 that, however, in having apetalous flowers, and in the males having longer pedicels. 

 The fruit also differs, being pointed at each end aud quite glabrons, whereas the 

 fruit of A. Gaudichaudiana is obtuse at the ends aud rusty-pubescent. 



3. Anisophyllea Gaudichaudiana, Baill. in Adansonia, XI, 311. 

 A tree 50-80 feet high ; young shoots rather slender, glabrous, minutely 

 lenticellate. Leaves coriaceous, broadly oblong to elliptic-oblong, entire, 

 shortly and rather bluntly acuminate, the base rounded or slightly 

 narrowed ; both surfaces glabrous, dull when dry, with wide reticu- 

 lations and 5, rarely 7, bold vertical curving main nerves springing from 

 the apex of the petiole, the transverse connecting veins distinct ; length 

 6-10 in., breadth 2*5-4 in. ; petiole 25-*3 in., stout, channelled, articulate 

 at the base. Panicles axillary, solitary or in fascicles, much shorter than 

 the leaves, with few short distant spicate rusty adpressed-pubescent 

 branches. Flowers monoecious. The males depressed-globose, mostly 

 about "05 in. in diam., on short pedicels ; calyx of 4 triangular concave 

 fleshy segments ; petals deltpid, much smaller than the calyx-lobes. 

 stamens 8, incurved, pistil rudimentary. Female flowers sessile, longer 

 than the males ; the calyx-tube elongate, tubular, containing the ovary, 

 its mouth with segments like the male ; stamens none ; styles 4, recurved. 

 Fruit large, subpyiiform or ellipsoid, sub-oblique, obtuse, minutely 

 rusty-pubescent, 35 in. long, and 2'25 in. diam. ; pericarp woody, *5 in. 

 thick. Seed solitary. Hook. Ic. Plant. 1551. A. grandifolia, Hensl. in

On the principle by which Herr Otto Kuntze desires to guide botanical nomen- 

 clature Baillon's name A. Gaudichaudiana would have to give way to the name A.
