included in Sieber’s herbarium, is only known in the island as a cultivated 
plant. 
Page 17. Through the exertions of Mr. Horne flowers and fruit of the Seychelles 
Dipterocarp have now been procured, from which Mr. Thistleton Dyer, who 
monographed the order in the Flora of British India, has kindly drawn up the 
following diagnosis. 
1. VATERIAj Linn. 
Calyx -tube very short, adnate to the receptacle ; sepals persistent, scarcely aug- 
mented in fruit. Stamens 15, rarely indefinite; anthers with an apiculate con- 
nective. Fruit baccate, globose, leathery, 1 -seeded. —Trees with entire coriaceous 
feather -veined leaves and lax terminal and lateral panicles or short few-flowered 
lateral racemes. Distrib. Tropical Asia and Indian Archipelago. Species 
about 20. 
1. V. seychellarum, Dyer. A tree 80-100 feet high, withlepidote branches. 
Leaves long-petioled (2-3 in.) elliptic, 6-8 in. long by 4-6 in. broad, shortly apic- 
ulate, glabrous on both sides. Flowers ^ in. in diameter ; few-flowered lateral 
racemes l£-2 in. long ; pedicels about £ in. Calyx i in. deep, glabrous ; sepals 
ovate, obtuse, not reflexed in fruit. Petals in. long, obovate ; margins erose. 
Stamens indefinite ; external valves of the anther much the longer. Fruit 
globose, slightly depressed, about 1^ in. diam ; pericarp leathery, irregularly 
dehiscing on germination ; cotyledons fleshy, plano-convex radiately-sulcate at 
the attachment of the petioles. 
Seychelles, Horne ! The calyx unreflexed in fruit departs from the general 
character of the genus. The general habit closely agrees with that of V. ceylanica , 
from which however it is easily distinguished by the longer petioles, indefinite 
stamens and unreflexed fruit-calyx.

Page 145. According to Mr. Hiern genus 13 is Plectronia, DC., not Linn., and the 
name that should stand is Canthiam, Lam. 
Page 171. Dr. Balfour, who has seen type specimens at Paris, identifies my 
Psiadia trinervia , var. macrodon , with Sarcanthemum Coronopus , Cass., which dis- 
poses satisfactorily of one of the doubtful genera of our flora.
