[Bntguiera. 
ciliate from the base to apex, nearly erect, bifid, bearing 3 to 4 bristles and 1 in 
the notch. Calyx-tube obtuse at the base, not ribbed. Ovary 2-celled. Fruit 
about iin., urceolate, slightly constricted below the calyx-limb. — FI. Brit. Ind. ii.

Hab.: Cape Sidmouth, Dr. Curdia (F. v. M.). 
4. B. parviflora (flowers small), W. and Am. [’rod. i. 311. A tropical 
coast swamp tree of small size, glabrous except the petals. Leaves oblong or 
broadly lanceolate, 2 to over Sin. long, tapering towards the petiole, which is 
rather slender and about £in. long. Stipules about l^in. long. Flowers small, 
pedicellate in a once or twice trichotomous cyme. Calyx-tube prominently ribbed, 
tapering towards the base ; lobes 8, lanceolate, erect, rigid, and scarcely over 1^ 
line long. Petals shorter than the calyx-lobes, cleft, with a bristle in the sinus 
and with 3 or more at the apex of each of the lobes, the incurved sides hairy 
where they embrace the stamens. Ovary 3-celled, ribbed. Fruit sub-cylindrical, 
about lin. long according to Hooker’s Flora of British India, but not sent with 
the Queensland specimens. 
Hab.: Johnstone River, Dr. Thou. L. Bancroft; Mackay, H. L. Griffith. 
Wood a light-straw colour, close in grain, and hard. — Bailey's Cat. Ql. Woods No. 157a. 
4. CARALLIA, Roxb. 
(From Carallie, its Indian name.) 
Calyx-tube adnate at the base, campanulate above the ovary, lined by the thin 
disk, with 5 to 8 very short lobes or teeth. Petals as many as calyx-lobes, 
clawed, orbicular, jagged or slightly toothed. Stamens twice as many as petals, 
inserted with them at the base of the calyx-lobes round the undulated margin of 
the disk. Ovary inferior or adnate as high as the insertion of the ovules, 
4-celled or rarely 3 or 5-celled, with two pendulous ovules in each cell. Fruit 
succulent, globular. Seed solitary, with a copious albumen ; embryo curved, 
not growing before the seed falls. — Trees or shrubs. Flowers small, in axillary, 
pedunculate, usually trichotomous cymes. 
A small genus, extending over tropical Asia, the Australian species the commonest over the 
the whole range of the genus. — Benth.

ii. 495. “ Mel-joor-ang ” and “ Bokor,” Cooktown, “ Bil-be-a,” Musgrave, 
Both. Usually a tree, often large, glabrous in all its parts. Leaves sessile, 
obovate, elliptical or oblong, in the Australian specimens obtuse or obtusely 
acuminate, thinly coriaceous, 3 to 5in. long, in Asiatic ones very variable in 
breadth and consistence, and often very obtuse or much acuminate. Cymes 
axillary or from old leafless nodes, on short peduncles, each short branch bearing 
3 to 5 sessile flowers. Calyx shortly and broadly campanulate, not 3 lines 
diameter. Fruit red, globular, about 3 lines diameter, crowned by the short 
connivent teeth of the calyx. — Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 74, with the 
synonyms there adduced; C. zeylanica, Arn.; Wight, Illustr. t. CO.

Order L. COMBRETACEiE. 
Calyx-tube adnate to the ovary at the base, narrowed above it and sometimes 
elongated ; limb usually campauulate, with 4 or 5, rarely more, teeth lobes or
