entire, indeLiscent drupaceous or coriaceous ; cells 2, 3 ; seeds out- 

 wardly more or less pulpy; cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo 

 thick more or less unequal and curved. — Trees or shrubs ; leaves 

 alternate pari- or imparipiunate ; folioles opposite or subopposite

 ferous racemes. {Ind. Arch?') 



20 ? Anomosanthes Bl/ Flowers poly gamo -dioecious regular 

 (nearly of Sapindus or Cupanid) ; sepals 5, imbricated. Petals 5, 

 imbricated, furnished within with small scales. Stamens 8, rather 

 short interior to thick annular glabrous disk, at first thinner or 

 emarginate, thence thicker. Germen 3-locular; style short, stigmati- 

 ferous entire or 3-lobed at apex. Fruit 3-agonal, sub-entire or sub- 

 3-lobed ; seeds exarillate ascendent ; cotyledons of thick exalbuminous 

 embryo superposed unequal. — Glabrous or tomentose trees ; leaves 

 alternate imparipinnate ; inflorescence of Jagera or Lepisanthis* (Uast. 

 Coni. India, Ind. Arch}) 



21. Macphersonia Bl.^ — Flowers polygamous regular ; sepals 5 

 (coloured), much imbricated. Petals 5, alternate, small, very small 

 (or 0) wide obovate-subspathulate unequally-lacerate unguiculate 

 esquaraate. Stamens 8, interior to crenate cupular disk; filaments 

 in male flower inserted below rudiment of gynseceum, 2-plicate, in 

 geniculate bud, finally subulate exserted ; anthers introrse, 2-rimose. 

 Germen (rudimentary in male flower) central substipitate, 3-locular ; 

 style short stigmatiferous 3-lobed at apex ; ovule in cells solitary as- 

 cendent; micropyle extrorsely inferior. Fruit stipitate obliquely 

 globular apiculate smooth, 1 -3-locular ; 2 cells effete. Seed ascendent ; 

 hilum wide scantily arillate ; testa thick ; embryo fleshy. — Yery 

 ramified small trees ; leaves alternate crowded, 2 -pinnate ; raches and
