We have placed our plant in the present genus, it being 
clearly a congener of a Nepalese sample, deposited by Dr. 
Buchanan in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium under the title 
Sympxocos cratewgoides, which differs principally in having 
a shorter broader nearly round leaf and blunt calycine leaf- 
lets. But neither species can belong to Sympxocos if our view 
of the structure of the germen is correct, and indeed the 
plants seem altogether of a different habit from those species 
which are at present allotted to Symprocos. We believe 
they will be to be formed into a separate genus by some 
one who has a closer knowledge of their natural affinities 
_than we, owing to accidental causes, are enabled at pre- 
sent to acquire. In a future article we shall probably return 
to the subject ; which is certainly an interesting one. 
Mr. Brown has separated the first division of Jussieu’s 
Guaiacane into a distinct order, by the title Ebenacee 
(prod. 1. 524.) ; of these our plant is clearly no coordinate.
