ANONACEJE. 
SaGERJEA 1HWAITESII. (H- f. efc T.) A small tree, leaves narrow oblong, 8-12 inches long 3-4^ broad (petiole £ - # inch) 
coriaceous, glabrous, pale beneath ; flowers hermathrodite, yellow, in axillary fascicles on the thicker branches, pedicels 2-4, about an inch 
long, squamulate at the base, sepals imbricated short obtuse, petals rounded, exterior larger, stamens about 18 on an elevated torus, 
ovaries 3-6, strigose, stigma 2 lobed, ovules 8-10 in two rows, carpels subsessile about the size of a nut, many or few seeded, seed com¬ 
pressed, with a furrow all round. Hook and Thom. FI. Ind. p. 93. 
Ceylon, at an elevation of about 1,000 feet. 
PLATE No. XLI. 
SAGEKiEA DALZELLII. (Bedd.) A small tree, branches glabrous, leaves glabrous and shining above, oblong, rounded or 
slightly attenuated at the base, obtuse or sub-acute at the apex, 6-10 inches long 2| to 3j broad (petioles nearly £ an inch,) pedicels 4-8, 
squamulate at the base from axillary woody tubercles on the older branches about 1 inch long, ebracteolate, sepals rounded cohering at 
the base ciliate at the margin, flowers yellow hermathrodite, petals concave, exterior larger J inch long,stamens about 28 all fertile, outer 
ones larger and anther cells distant, torus scarcely elevated ; ovaries 3-5 hairy, stigma small capitate entire, ovules about 12 in two rows. 
Anamallay forests in dense moist woods 2,500^661 elevation (in the Karian Simla). It flowers in March, the calyx differs from, 
the other species, its sepals cohere at the base instead of being imbricated, the anthers are more numerous and the stigma is entire 
in this whereas it is 2 lobed in S- Thwaitesii—otherwise they much resemble each other. A third species of this genus, S- laurina Dalz. 
is found in the Concan, my specimens are unfortunately only in fruit, so I do not figure it; the only other Indian species is the S. elliptica. 
H. f. et T. from Tenasserim, which has disecious flowers.

XyLOPIA PARVIFOLIA. (H. f. et. T.) A shrub or small tree, branches fulvo-pubescenf, at length grabrous white-dotted, 
leaves oblongo-lanceolate acuminate, acute at the base glabrous on both sides, 2-3 inches long, f—1| broad, (petiole ^-rd inch), thickly 
coriaceous, above shining, pale beneath; fascicles 3-5 flowered axillary subsessile, pedicels very short, furnished with numerous small 
rounded imbricated bracteoles, sepal acute petals pubescent on both sides, ovaries 3-6, ovules 4-6, carpels oblong size of a dove’s egg, seeds 
in 2 series oblong, nestling in reddish pulp. Hook. F. et Thom. FI. Ind. p. 125 ; Patonia, Wight.

XyLOPIA NIGRICANS. (H. f. et T.) A shrub, branches glabrous, young parts puberuious, leaves elliptic or lanceolate 
obtusely acuminate glabrous (blackish when dry), coriaceous, undulate, pale beneath, 3 inches long 1-^ broad (petiole £th inch), flowers 
axillary in threes or solitary, pedicels scarcely ^ iuch long slender, bracteoles 1-2, minute deciduous, exterior petals excavated to nearly 
the apex, ovaries 5, ovules 4-6, carpels size of a dove's egg or smaller dehiscing, seeds blackish smooth, attenuated towards the hilum, 4 
lines long nestling in red pulp. FI. Ind. p. 125 ; Thiv. En. p. 9. 
Ceylon. 
PLATE No. XLIV. 
XyLOPIA ChAMPIONII. (H. f. et T.) A tree with slender glabrous branches, young shoots fusco-sericeous, leaves 
elliptic or broadly lanceolate acute at the base, acuminated at the apex, glabrous above, minutely puberuious beneath, coriaceous—pellu- 
cido-punctate, 3-4£ inches long 1-lf broad, petioles scarcely \ inch long ; peduncles axillary solitary about 2 lines long, fusco-sericeous, 
bearing 2-3 minute squamaeform bracts below the middle sepals united into an acutely 3 lobed cup, flowers yellowish marked with red, 
exterior petals \—§ inch long thick concave, int. pet. ird shorter, cuniate at the base, and deeply concave, triquetrous above, ovary soli¬ 
tary pilose 4 ovuled, carpels pedicellate 5 ribbed longitudinally, seeds nestling in pulp. Hook and T. Fl. Ind.p. 126. 
Ceylon in the Ambagamowa and Ratnapoora districts, up to 2,000 feet elevation. 
This genus has not been detected on the continent, the only other Indian species described are the X- Malayaua, H. f. et T ; 
and the X. caudata. II. f. et T, both from Malacca.
