Of Anonacece I shall only notice Sphorostemma, Blume. In this 

 genus the connectivum is highly dilated, and the cells of the anther at 

 a considerable distance from each other ; and yet from the arrange- 

 ment of the stamina, bilocular anthers with contiguous loculi result. 



It affords another instance of the existence of the peculiar tissue, 

 until lately supposed to be characteristic of Gymnospermse. In ad- 

 dition to this singularity, its medulla is traversed longitudinally by 

 bundles of dense, occasionally branched, woody fibre, which consists 

 of a superposition or " emboitement" of several layers. 



Cucurbit ace a. Among these plants occur two genera which appear 

 to be new, so far at least as the Prodromus of M. De Candolle is con- 

 cerned ; in which book the article on Cucurbitacese, (by M. Seringii,) 

 appears to me to be very unsatisfactory. Of one of the above genera, 

 I have only seen the male ; it is remarkable for the involute, or rather 

 gyrate involution of the petals. The second I propose calling Actinos- 

 temma : it is chiefly remarkable for the complete separation of its sta- 



X Chiefly from the foot of the Abor Hills, on the Dihong.
