organs of the flower, and the appearance of the parts of the ver¬ 
ticil simultaneously, as a continuous ring, immediately exterior 
to the staminal whorl, from which he concludes it to be corolline. 
Umbelliferae, Araliaceae, &c., possess both calyx and corolla, as 
shown by their organogeny. Two new genera are described in 
foot-notes, viz.:— Stolidia, founded upon a Mauritian plant, and 
Lavallea , upon Strombosia Zeylanica , Gard. and a Manila plant of 
Cuming’s. M. Baillon unites under Loranthaceae, the Orders 
Santalaceae, Olacaceae, and allied groups; the limits, secondary 
divisions, and affinities of which he proposes to treat in a future 
essay.

--On African Anonaceae. Linn. Trans, xxiii. p. 463, with 5 
Plates. Nearly 40 African species are now known, all excepting 
one confined to that Continent. One species, Anona Senegalensis , 
extends across it, covering immense tracts of country. Three 
genera are peculiar to Africa and its Islands, and 6 to Asia and 
Africa. Besides Anona , Xylopia is chiefly an American genus, 
like Anona shared with Africa, unlike it also with Asia. The 
species are described, including several new ones, amongst the 
rest two new Monodoras.
