papillose. Fruit samaroid ; carpels 2, solute from axis (sometimes 

 with difficulty) dehiscent compressed and dorsally produced superior 

 to apex of style or shorter ; seeds scantily albuminous ; testa thin ; 

 cotyledons membraneous, often lateral. {East India, trap. W. 

 Africa}) 



134. Baccaurea Lour.^ — Flowers monoecious or dioecious (nearly 

 of Richeria or Securinega apetalous ; sepals 4, 5, imbricated, sometimes 

 unequal. Disk or rudimentary, sometimes more rarely evolute 

 {Adenocrepis^ Isandrion^). Stamens inserted below rudiment of 

 gynseceum either equal in number to sepals and opposite them 

 {Hedycarpus,^ Calyptroon^), or sometimes 4-10, 2-seriate, or 1-seriate, 

 some in pairs before each sepal ; filaments free ; anthers introrse or 

 more rarely extrorse ( Calyptroon) ; cells longitudinally adnate and 

 rimose. Germen (in male flower rudimentary lobed) surrounded by 

 hypogynous disk more or less evolute or ; ceUs 2 [Isandrion, Adeno- 

 crepis, Calyptroon)., or 2, 3 {Pierardia ^), sometimes 4, 5 {Hedycarpus) ; 

 ovules in each cell 2 ; obturator usually thick ; style generally short 

 or very short {Adenocrepis) branches 2-6, rather wide, 2-3-lobed or 

 unequally lacerate, inwardly at apex papillose. Fruit 1-5-locular 

 indehiscent ; pericarp pachydermous more or less fleshy ; seeds 

 albuminous more or less fleshy arillate.^ — Trees or shrubs ; leaves 

 alternate petiolate 2 -stipulate entire or denticulate penniaerved ; ribs 

 and primary nerves prominent below ; indumentum simple, 

 stellate or ; flowers iu axillary simple or ramified racemes ; bracts 

 often more or less connate, with peduncle usually cymose few- 

 flowered.^ [Trap, regions of Asia, Oceania and W. Africa.^^) 



135. Uapaca H. Bn." — Flowers dioecious apetalous ; calyx 

 gamophyllous, 4-5-dentate or sepals 4, 5, imbricated. Stamens
