callous serratures. The peduncles are more slender, the 

 styles longer, and the lobes of the corolla obliquely notched. 



TERNSTRGEMIA CUSPIDATA. rW, J,) 



Foliis obovato-ellipticis acuminatis dentato-serratis serra- 

 turis apice hamatis, fructibus 5-locularibus, pedunculis axil- 

 laribus 1 — 3 floris. 



A tree, young parts ferruginous. Leaves petiolate, elliptic 

 ovate, attenuated to the base, broader above, sharply acumi- 

 nate, serrated, the narrow sharp toothlets generally curved 

 or hooked at their points, smooth, often marked with whitish 

 glandular dots on the nerves, veins, and serratures ; 6 — 8 

 inches long. Peduncles axillary, 1—3 flowered, smooth. 

 Calyx 5-parted, segments orbicular. Corolla white, mono- 

 petalous, 5-parted. Stamina numerous ; anthers opening by 

 two gaping pores. Ovary subglobose, 5-celled, ovula very 

 numerous ; placentae from the inner angle of the cells. Style 

 very deeply 5-parted. 



Obs, — This species (received from Salumah during the 

 printing of the present sheet) comes very near to the T. 

 serrata ; it differs in having the leaves more sharply acumi- 

 nate, with longer tooth-like serratures, and rather shorter 

 petioles ; the peduncles frequently bearing two or three 

 flowers, and not so slender as in the former ; and in the 

 5-celled fruit. 



ADINANDRA. (W, J.) 



Polyandria Monogynia. 



Calyx 5-partitus, persistens, basi bibracteatus. Corolla 

 pentapetala, petalis basi latis. Stamina 30, pluriseriata, sub- 

 polyadelpha^ interioribus brevioribus ; antheris bilocularibus 

 apice mucronatis. Styles unicus, subulatus. Bacca supera, 

 stylo persistente acuminata, 5-locularis, polysperma, pla- 

 centis ab angulo interiore loculos bipartientibus.
