staminodes subulate, about -05 in. long. Ovary villous; style clavate, 
glabrous. Fruit an oblong or somewhat obovoid berry, depressed at 
apex, glabrous, fleshy, supported by the somewhat enlarged persistent 
calyx-lobes, seed usually 1. Seed oblong, obtuse above, somewhat 
pointed below, little compressed, ’6 in. long, - 25 in. broad and thick ; 
testa chestnut-brown, shining, crustaceous ; hilum linear, flat, occupying 
nearly the whole inner face of the seed ; albumen thick ; cotyledons 
leafy, flat, oblong, 3-nerved ; radicle inferior, pointed. Ghrysophyllum

Penang: at West Hill, Curtis, 1575. — Distrib. Bangka, Teysmann ; 
Philippines. 
The Bangka specimens have the leaves up to 2-5 in. broad, but in other respects 
we find no difference from Teysmann’s type in the Penang plant. 
Species Imperfectly Known. 
6. Sideeoxylon Wallichianum, G. Don Gen. Syst. IV. 28 (1837). A 
tree (?) ; branehlets pale brown, ferruginous- villous as are the inno- 
vations. Leaves chartaceous; elliptic-obovate, obliquely acuminate at 
apex, cuneate at base, crowded towards the ends of the branehlets ; 
6 to 8 in. long, 3 to 4 in. broad ; midrib thick ; main-nerves 6 to 7 pairs, 
curved upwards, distant, reticulations prominent ; petiole thick, densely 
tawny-pubescent. Calyx-lobes apparently 5, short, rounded, rusty- 
pubescent. Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. II. 1037. S. (?) rugosum, Wall. Cat.

The only sheet of this is in the type Herbarium of Wallich’s plants with the 
Linnean Society of London. The remains of flowers are very slight, but they seem 
to show that the plant belongs to this genus. The note “ a small plant growing on 
crocks — flowers white — from the hills ” attached to the sheet, seems to refer to some 
other plant, for the specimen itself has every appearance of having come from a tree. 
4. Isonandra, Wight. 
Trees with milky juice. Leaves coriaceous, entire, alternate,

two outer opposite, more or less valvate ; the two inner also 
opposite, imbricate. Corolla tubular, campanulate ; lobes 4, much 
imbricate, somewhat twisted. Stamens 8, sub-equal, attached near the 
base of the corolla, both opposite to and alternate with the lobes ; 
filaments short ; anthers lanceolate, sagittate at base, extrorse ; 
staminodes absent. Ovary 4-celled, villous ; style linear. Berry
