* At the British Museum there is a plant from New Caledonia, collected in 1774 by W. Anderson, 
which, on account of its opposite or ternate entire leaves with a marginal vein, had been placed provisionally 
amongst the unarranged Myrtacee, On dissecting what appeared to be a fruit not unlike that of Lwgenia 
corynocarpa, A. Gray, only larger, I found it to be a tubular, very coriaceous calyx, in the throat of which 
numerous stamens were inserted, and enclosing an inferior free 2-celled ovary, with numerous horizontal 
ovules, proving the plant to be a new genus of Myrtacee. I find no petals; even in a young bud (just 
opening and all the stamens being yet recurved) there is no indication of them. I therefore conclude that 
the plant is apetalous, and that one of the rows of stamens may be standing in place of the corolla —Cu- 
pheanthus (gen. nov. Myrtacearum), Seem. mss. in Herb. Mus. Brit. Calyx ebracteolatus, persistens, tubu- 
losus, coloratus, obsolete striatus, 3-fidus, laciniis triangularibus, #stivatione valvatis. Corolla nulla (v. 
eaduea?), Stamina ©, pluriseriata, libera, summo calycis tubo inserta, exserta, estivatione incurva; fila- 
menta filiformia, libera; anthers introrse, oblong, 2-loculares, longitudinaliter dehiscentes. Ovarium 
liberum, sessile, 2-loculare, Ovula in placentis dissepimento utrinque adnatis co-horizontalia. Stylus soli- 
tarius, elongatus, subexsertus ; stigma emarginato-bilobum, Fructus ignotus.—Frutex (v. arbor?) Neo-
