In this very curious plant we have a combination of characters not very usual in 

 the Order. We have unfortunately only been able to examine a few very young buds, 

 and have no more at our command, so that no confidence is to be placed in the de- 

 tails of the flower, and in pai-ticular in the shape of the petals, which often vary 

 much after expansion. In general habit, as well as in the unisexual flowers, our 

 species so closely resembles Uvaria reticulata, Blume, Fl. Javse, t. 24, of which the 

 male plant only is known, that we have little doubt the two are congeners, so that 

 the inner petals of our plant will probably prove to be clawed and valvate. That 

 species, however, as we have elsewhere mentioned, forms the type of a new genus : 

 but it appears desirable not to give a generic name till it can be accompanied by a 

 definition.

 gest. biseriatim valvata. Stamina indeflnita. Aidliera lineares, ex-

 formatse, filamentis filiformibus elongatis suffultae. Torus vix convexus. 

 Ovaria subdefinita, basi solida, ovalia vel oblonga. Ovula 3, coUate- 

 ralia, e basi loculi erecta. Stylus subglobosns vel oblongus. Carpella 

 pedicello elongate clavato suifulta, valvis 3 dehiscentia. Semina 3, erecta, 

 nitida, exarillata. — ^Arbores, floribus inconspicuis e viridi albicantibus. 



This is a, very curious genus, deviating remarkably from the ordinary type of 

 Anonacea. Several South American species have been described by St. Hilaire and 

 Martius. To these Blume has added one from Java, which is evidently a congener, 

 though it difi'ers in some trifling particulars from the others. We have now the 

 pleasure of indicating a second Asiatic species, which presents too many deviations 

 from Blume's description to be identifiable with A . Javanica.
