N. B. — This species has got quite an array of synonyms. I attempt- 

 ed to establish a new genus upon it on account of the angular fruits and 

 absence of pulp, but on examining the fruits of several other Paramignyas, 

 I find that they also seem to be pulpless.* Atalantia missionis, Oliv. (Hf. 

 Ind. PL I. 513, excl. syn. Turcz.) has curiously enough retained its place in 

 Atalantia, although habit and generic characters place its beyond any doubt 

 in Paramignya, and in habit it approaches very much the above species. 



Atalantia, Corr. 

 Conspectus of species. 

 x Calyx irregularly lobed, split to the base on one side. 



Berries the size of a large pea or small cherry, A. mrmophylla. 



Berries the size of a wood-apple, A. macrophylla. 



x x Calyx regularly 4-lobed. 

 Flowers shortly pedicelled, in short racemes, A. eaudata. 



1. A. monophylla, Corr. in Ann. du Mus. VI. 383 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 

 511. — (A floribunda, Wight. Icon. t. 1611. ; Limonia monoplvylla, Lin. 

 Mant. alt. 237 ; Roxb. Fl. Ind. II. 378 and Corom. PL I. t. 82 ; A. pube- 

 rula, Miq Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. I. 211 ; CMlocalyx ellipticus, Turcz. in 

 Bull. Natur. Mosc. 1863, 588). 



Hab. Ava, about Segain, very frequent. — FL Oetob. 



2. A. macbophylba (A monophylla var. macrophylla, Oliv. in Linn. 

 Proc. V. Suppl. II. 24 ; Hf. Ind. PL I. 512). 



Hab. Frequent along the beaches of the Andaman islands ; also Te- 

 nasserim. — Fr. Apr. May. 



3. A. catjdata, Hf. Ind. PL I. 513 ?— 



Hab. Frequent in the tropical forests of the Pegu Yomah, especially 

 along choungs. 



The Burmese plant is a middling-sized tree of elegant appearance but 

 spiny. I have not met either with flowers or fruits and therefore the 

 identification must remain doubtful. 



Citrus, L. 

 Conspectus of species. 

 x Young shoots and nerves of leaves beneath pubescent or puberulous ; flow- 

 ers and fruits large, C. decumama. 



x x All parts glabrous. 

 O Style very short. 

 Mowers small ; stamens free ; petioles leafy and almost as long and as broad as the 



blade itself, G. hy&trix. 



O Style as long as the ovary or much longer, 

 t Petals 8 to 10 lin. long. 



* The berries of P. littoralis, Miq., a species nearly allied to P. angulata, has pulp, 

 but the dried ones appear pulpless.
