This agrees in every respect with the genus Elceocarpus, except that the petals are bifid, not trifid and 
lacerated ; nor are the anthers setigerous. Indeed, the bifid petals might seem at first to remove it from 
this Order, with which, however, it otherwise entirely accords.

1. Ilex? anomala; foliis ovalibus planis coriaceis integerrimis supra lucidis, pedunculis 
axillaribus cymosis, corolla 6-8-fida, stigmate 12-16-radiato. (Tab. XXV.) 
Caulis arborescens. Rami subangulati, siccitate rugosi. Folia alterna, ovalia, obtusa, petiolata, supra 
lucida, subtus pallidiora opaca siccitate margine recm’vo, tres uncias longa. Petiolus supra canaliculatus 
submai’ginatus, subtus rugosus, unciam longus. Pedunculi axiUares, petiolum superantes, cymmn trichotome 
divisum pauciflorum gerentes. Bractece ovatse, acutae, oppositse, membranacese. Flores magnitudine 
Ilicis Aquifolii. Calyx parvus, leviter 3-4-lobus, lobis rotundatis. Corolla monopetala, breviter campanu- 
lata, profunde 6-8-fida, lobis rotundatis. Stamina 6-8-loba coroUse alternantia, eique inserta, inclusa: 
filamenta brevia, glabra: antherce subsphaericae. Germen globosum, carnosum, 12-16-sulcatum, 12-16- 
loculare: ovula sohtaria. Stylus 0. Stigma sessile, planum, centro depressiun, 12-16-radiatum. 
This species differs from Ilex, and from all the other genera of the groupe, by the cells of the gennen and 
rays of the stigma being twice as numerous as the segments of the calyx and coroUa. We have not seen 
the mature fruit, but, judging from the specimens before us, suppose it a berry. The stigma is very remark- 
able, and only to be compared with that of the genus Papaver.

This is without flower : we are therefore doubtful in regard to its identity with T. majus.

Judging fi’om specimens which we have received from'llr. Fischer of A. reflexa and A. ccerulea, n e 
think.they may be safely united.
