Wc find in Wallich's Catalogue two barljaroua names for tMs plant, one being 

 Roxburgh's manuscript name, tbe other that of Hamilton. A.3 neither has been 

 published, and we cannot tell which ought to have the preference, we hare adopted 

 neither, gladly availing ourselves of any legitimate excuse for escaping the employ- 

 ment of such extremely local and probably quite erroneous names.

"With the stamens of Saccopetalum, this genus has the petals equal in size, or 

 nearly so, the outer being usually somewhat larger. The general appearance is very 

 distinct from that of Saccopetalum, the leaves being very thick and coriaceous, and 

 quite glabrous, except wheu very young. We are happy to have this opportunity of 

 associating (he name of M. Alphonse De CaudoUe with an Order which he has so ably 

 investigated, by dedicating to him this very distinct genus.
