Blume appears to have brought togctber under the name of Fyrrliosa all the pani- 

 culate Nutmegs ; but the spedcs included by him in the gi'oup by no means agree in 

 iloral characters. As defined above, however, it constitutes a very natural group. 

 il. (P.) Javanica, Blume, belongs to our last section, and 31. {P.) Horxfu'ldd, 

 Blume, though anomalous as to inflorescence, seems rather referable to Eumyristica.
