1. A Squamosa. — Native of Central America. From thence it 

 has spread all over India, where it grows wild, particularly about 

 Moosulman burial-groiinds. The bruized leaves have a peculiar 

 foetor, and are used for destroying worms bred in sores, a complica- 

 tion common in India. 



2. A Reticulata. — " Ramphul." America. Scarcer than the 

 last, but often found in native gardens ; fruit very luscious. 



3. A MuRiCATA, DC. syst. p 467. — Soursop. Native of South 

 America. A very handsome tree, with smooth, shining, dark-green 

 leaves ; now common in Bombay ; fruit size of a citron, sour flavour. 



4. A Chehimolia, DC. syst. 1, p 473. — Cherimolia or soft- 

 fruited Custard-apple; native of Peru; dark-purple fruit; intro- 

 duced at Hewra by Colonel G. R. Jervis, through Messrs. Loddiges ; 

 flowers, but has not borne fruit. 



5. Hyalostemma, Roxb., Uvaria Dicecia, Walhch. Cat. No. 

 6434; Lind. Maut. 2nd ed., p 439.— Native of Eastern Bengal. 

 A small shrub, with elegant alternate entire leaves. Garden at 

 Dapobrie. This is the only dioecious plant in the family. 



v.— -ARTABOTRYS, Polyandria Polygynia. Artao, to sus- 

 pend ; and botrys, a bunch. The peduncle has a curious hook, which 

 lays hold of any support near. 



6. A Odouatissima, W. and A. 33; Uvaria Odoratissima, 

 Roxb. Fl 2, p 666.— "Kala Chumpa." Native of Eastern Is- 

 lands ; now not uncolnmon in gardens. The ripe flowers have a 

 rich scent of apples ; the shrub is scandent, with shining, smooth 

 leaves ; fruit size and shape of a myrobolan. 



7. Anona Odorata. — China (?). A small tree, with narrow 

 lanceolate leaves, and flower of thiee long yellow wings ; fruit round.; 

 flower much more fragrant than the last, especially in moist weather, 

 when it can be scented at a distance of eight or ten feet. U Discolor, 

 described in 1st ed., p 3, No. 17, as at Dapoorie, introduced from 

 China, must, we think, have been mistaken for the abovemen- 

 tioned tree ; at all events, we have not seen it either at Dapoorie 

 or elsewhere. 



VI.— GUATTERIA, Polyandria Polygynia. Named from 

 Guatteri, an Italian botanist. 



8. G Longifolia, Southern Peninsula, DC. syst. 1, p 492. —

 to this family.

 and Bengal. A beautiful small tree, with shining, smooth leaves, 

 and fruit in umbellets along the branches on the underside.
