* The section i\ otaphœhe is near Ocotea from which it differs in having entirely 

 different fruit. It differs from Ilaasia in having 4-celled anthers. The present plant has 9 

 stamens, of -which tho.se of the third order have two lower larger extrorse cells and two upper 

 smaller introrse cells. It is, therefore, rather doubtful whether this should be referred to Fer- 

 seacece. The staminodes of the fourth order are very small and subulate, the segments of the 

 perianth are rather thin, and the i)lant does not look like a si^ecies of the Machilus-aViea.
