A miniature tree will* prickly stem, othermse unarmed. Leaves 
coriaceous, simple, on long teroto petioles expanded at the base into 
a short sheath with 2 minute stipules on its inner surface, Jnjiofes- 
cence a teraiiual shortly -hraiiched compound umbel. Flowers hei'ma- • 
phrodite. Cal^ic-inhe narrowly caropauulate, its limb with 5, small, 
spreading teeth. Petals 5, calyptrate, their edges sligbtly infolded, 
valvate below, slightly imbricate near the apex ; the midribs prominent 
on the inner surface. Slammis 6, alternate with the petals ; the fila- 
ments short, straight; the anthers versatile; the cells linear, quite 
separate from each other, each united by its middle to the tip of 
the filament. Disc large, fleshy, con vex, covering the whole of the 
apex of the ovary, slightly 5'lobed. Styles ttnited to form a short 
thick colnmn without any distinct stigmatie enlargement ; ovary 1- 
celled, with 2 parallel pendulous ovules. Fruit 2-celled, by the form- 
ation of a dissepiment not present in the ovary, 2-seedcd j seeds com- 
pressed. A single species. 
Tbia genna ia allied to ArthropJti/llwn ; bat its ovaries, although ono-^elled,^ have 
two peiidiibua ovuloa. The fruit, bowever, is twO'Celled, by tbo aubsequent form- 
ation of a diBEepfmetit, and is 2'seeded, The leaves moreover aro all aim pie. The 
aeedfl of tho few speoiraeEa which I have seen are qtiite young and the natnro of 
the albumen cannot bo mmde out. I bavo Daincd the genua in h6iionr of my friend 
Brignde-Swgeon Lt.>Colonel C. J. H. Warden, a distingaiBhed pbarmaoDlogifit and 
one of the iiuthors of the Fharmacoffraphia Indica, 
"Wakoenia simplex, King. A shrab 6-8 in. high, deciduously 
rufous-pubescent tow^ai-ds the apex, prickly near the base. Leaves 
simple, elliptic, t^ipering gradually to the shortly acuminate apex^ not 
narrowed to the slightly cordate huge ; both surfaces bearing minute 
scattered msty ste'late bairs ; length 8-15 in., breadth 3"5— 7 in., 
petiole 5-10 in. FUwer buds -1 in. in diam,, conical; pedicels 
in. long, slcndor, rusty- pubescent, tho umbels 10^20 -flowered. Calyx 
slightly rusfcy-pubescent. Petals glabrous. Fruit elliptic-globose, sub- 
glahrous, -2 in. long, crowned by the calyx and by the slender conic 
sty^lar column.
