Plate 45. — Connarits Pickeringii : in flower and in fruit. Fig. 1. 

 A flower, enlarged. 2. A petal, more magnified. 3. Stamens and 

 pistil, magnified. 4. Pistil, with the ovary divided longitudinally, to 

 show the ovules, magnified. 5. An ovule, more magnified. 6. Seed, 

 with a valve of the pod, of the natural size. 7. The embryo, of the 

 natural size. 



2. Connarus cymosus, Planch. 



Connarus cymosus, Planchon, Prodr. Connar. in Linnsea. 23, p. 430. 



Hab. Brazil, in the Organ Mountains, near Eio Janeiro. (In 

 flower only.) 



3. Connarus Beyrichii, Planch. I. c. 



Var. ? foliolis bi-quadrijugis cum impari subito aciirninatis venosioribus. 



Hab. Brazil ; with the preceding. 



The specimen (with young fruit only) well accords with an au- 

 thentic specimen of Planchon's G. Beyrichii, except that the leaflets, 

 instead of three in number, are from two to four pairs, abruptly 

 pointed, and less coriaceous, but more veiny. 



3. BERNARDINIA, Planch. 

 1. Bernardinia Fluminensis, Planch. 



Bernardinia Fluminensis, Planchon, Prodr. Connar. in Linnasa, 23, p. 413. 



Hab. Near Rio Janeiro, Brazil. 



The specimen bears young fruit only : it appears to be identical 

 with the plant upon which Planchon established his genus Bernar- 

 dinia, in memory of Bernardin de St. Pierre.
