Perak, Father Scortochini. 
Collected only by Seoitechiui who loft a MS, description of it un- 
der the name Wormia apetala. But, as that name is pro-occupied by a 
species of Gaudichaud, I havo rcchristened it after its lamented 
discoverer. In his description Father Scortochini says that, although ho 
opened many bnds, he never could find any trace of petals. In stamens 
this agrees with the Euwormia section of Wormia : but whether it is 
really a Wormia and not a Dillenia cannot be settled until ripe fruit is 
found. 
Species of which flowers are unknown.

5. Dillenia, Linn. 
Characters of Wormia except that the llowers arc more often solitnry 
and are sometimes white ; the carpels are rather more numerous, are 
never dehiscent, cohere in the axis, and are envolopod in the thickened 
accrescent calyx; while the seeds are exarillate.
