ctae, introrsae , dorso basi affixae. Pistillum sessile, ovoideo -trigonum , 
hirtulum , saepe sterile. Ovarium disco semiimmersum , triloculare ; ovula 
in loculis 2, collateralia, angulo centrali sursum affixa, anatropa, elli- 
psoidea, compressa, micropyle sursum spectante. Stylus terminalis, bre-

abortu 1-2-locularem continente. Semina in loculis solitaria, oblonga, 
plano-convexa; testa membranacea, rufescente. Embryon exalbumino- 
sum , rectum , inversum , amygdalinum , album. Cotyledones carnosae , 
profunde partitae, lobis inaequalibus, varie tortis. Radicula teretius- 
cula, supera. Semina vicem amygdalorum dulcium et cruda et in opsonio 
explent • nimius tamen eorum usus facile cruditatem ventris efficit. Oleum 
inde expressum odore plane caret, amygdalini instar dulce, ne vetustate 
quidem rancidum. — In Asia tropica et frequentissima in Arcbipelago 
indico et Moluccis, minus in Philippinis.

Ind. Or. I. p. 175 exposuit, manifesto apparet, illum discrimen hujus 
Speciei et ejus, quam nomine C. communis _ descripsit , suspicatum esse. 
Ait enim: // Konig states that, in the wild piant % the nut has three 
// cells , but when culti vated two of them generally disappear ; this may 
» explain the differenee between Gaertneris figure and those of Konig and 
//Rumph; but we incline to suspect that wffat Gaertner has figured be- 
// longs to Eumph’s tab. 48 , and that it constitutes a different species.” 
Alea autem sententia discrimen specificum minus in fructu, qui pro aetate 
arboris et forma et magnitudine admodum variat, quam in stipulis ser- 
ratis cernitur, quamquam et foliolis multo majoribus acuminatissimis 
haec Species a C. communi differt. Ea vulgo spithamam v. 8 — 10 poli, 
louga, ultra manum lata sunt, in vetustis autem arboribus, auctore 
Rumphio paulo minora. — In Moluccis frequens in cultis , rarior in in- 
sulis Sundaicis.
