 beneath; length 4 to 9 in., breadth 1'75 to 2 75 in.; pctiolnles '15 to 2 in. 

 Panicles nearly as long as the leaves, from, above the axils of the upper 

 leaves or sub-terminal ; the branches minutely tawny-pubescent, spread-

 minutely bracteolate. Flowers - 3 in. long. Sepals united at the very 

 base, a little shorter than the petals, elliptic, obtuse, minutely pubes- 

 cent outside, pale. Petals oblong-lanceolate or spathulate, their apices 

 recurvedor linear, narrower than the sepals, inserted on the edge of 

 the disc. Stamens about as long as the petals ; the anthers narrowly 

 oblong, cordate at the base, the filaments subulate. Disc broad, 

 obsolefcely crenulate. Ovary oblong-ovoid, deeply divided vertically into 

 five 1-celled 1-ovuled lobes : styles loug, slender, connate by their apices, 

 stigma 5-lobed. Drupe depressed-globose, an inch or more in diam.,

Addition to Chailletiace^:. 

 Since writing out this Natural Order for the last number of 

 papers, I have received two new species of the genus Chailletia of which 

 I now give descriptions. And, in order to fit these into the key to the 

 species given at p. 91 of the last volume of this Journal, I here repro- 

 duce that key, with these two new species introduced into their proper 

 places and indicated by the letter a following the number of each. 

 Leaves oblong or elliptic-lanceolate. 



Leaves very thin, quite glabrous ; cymes 

 globular, *25 to - 4 in. in diam. ... 



Leaves coriaceous, glabrous except the mid- 

 rib, strigose at the base ; cymes 1 to 2 in. 

 iudiam.... ..." 



Leaves membranous, with many fulvous 

 bristles on the edges midribs and nerves 

 Leaves-elliptic or oblong-elliptic. 



Leaves coriaceous, upper surface with scat- 

 tered bristles with bulbous bases, lower 

 surface hispid especially on the midrib and 

 nerves ... ... ... ... 3a. 0. setosa.
