perhaips longer. StaWiens numerous, the short triangular • terminal appendage 

 not dilated, showing the rather large dorsal parallel cells. Carpels numerous, 

 densely hirsute ; stigma small. Ovules 6 to 8 in each carpel, in 2 series. Fruit 

 i to lin. long, turged, obtuse, fin. thick. Seeds large, roundish. — Uvaria 

 lister opetala, F. v. M. in Fl. Austr. i. 51. 



Hab. : Port Denison and Burnett Eiver. This plant differs from Uvaria in the stamens, which 

 are those of Saccopetalmn. The habit and foliage are also more those of the latter genus than 

 of Uvaria, but the petals certainly appear fo be imbricate in each row, and the outer ones are 

 jauch more developed than is usual in Saccopetalum. The flowers in the specimens seen are, 

 however, still young and insufficient for fixing the precise affinities of the species. — Benth. 



3. CANANGA, Eumph. 



(Malay name of one species.) 



Sepals 3, ovate or triangular, valvate. Petals 6, 2-seriate, subequal or inner 

 smaller, long, flat, valvate. Stamens linear, anther-cells approximate extrorse ; 

 connective produced into a lanceolate acute process. Ovaries many, style oblong, 

 stigmas subcapitate ; ovules numerous, 2-seriate. Eipe carpels many, berried, 

 stalked or sessile. Seeds many, testa crustaceous, pitted, sending spinous processes 

 into the albumen.— Tall trees. Leaves large. Flowers large, yellow, solitary or 

 fascicled on short axillary peduncles. 



1. C. Odorata (fragrant), H. F. and T. Fl. Ind. A tall tree with straight 

 trunk ; bark smooth ; shoots glabrous. Leaves ovate-oblong, 5 to Sin. long, 2 to 

 Sin. broad, finely acuminate, puberulous on the under side, rounded at the base, 

 margins wavy. Petiole about fin. long. Peduncles solitary or several from old 

 scars ; pedicels about lin., recurved horny, with a few basal and a median scaly 

 bract. Flowers usually 3-nate, drooping, yellow, odorous. Petals about 3in. 

 long, subequal, narrow-linear, silky when young. Carpels about 12, glabrous 

 long-stalked, ovoid or obovoid, black, 6 to 12-seeded. Uvaria odorata Lamb. 111.'

Hab. : Scrubs of tropical parts of the colony. 

 Wood of a grey colour, close-grained and hard. 



4. ANCANA, F. v. M. 



(After Baron Anca). 



Sepals 3, free, persistent, much shorter than the petals. Petals 6, equal 

 subulate-linear, iDiseriate-valvate in the bud. Stamens numerous, 4-angular- 

 cuneate. Torus hemispherical. Carpels 8, with capitate sessile stigmas, ovules ' 

 several. Berries containing few seeds. F. v. M. Fragm. v. 27. 



1. A. stenopetala (slender petals), F. v. M. Fragm. v. 27 and vii. 126. A 

 scandent shrub, the branchlets more or less hairy. Leaves chartaceous, 8 to 4i 

 in. long, f to l^in. broad, shining on both sides, copiously netted-veined, base 

 obtuse, apex acuminate. The Sparsely scattered hairs rigid, at length glabrate. 

 Pedicels thick. If to 2f lines long. Bracts and bracteoles like the sepals but 

 smaller, the tawny appressed hairs with which they are covered almost silky. 

 Flowers fragrant. Sepals 2 lines long, acute, opposite to the interior petals! 

 Petals lin. long, narrow, and tapering from the base, somewhat thick, bearing 

 more or less of a tawny, hoary covering. Anthers nearly sessile. Fruit yellow. 



Hab. . Scrubs of the southern parts of the colony. 



5. POLYALTHIA, Blume. 

 Sepals broad. Petals 6, valvate in the very young bud, in two rows but 

 spreading or open long before they have attained their full size, nearly equal and 

 flat, usually narrow. Stamens numerous, narrow-wedge-shaped, the connective
