the garden from Surinam, by Sir C. Younge. It therefore 
appears, that the Malayan C. bacillus requires some further 
examination, as it will probably be found to constitute an 
additional and unsuspected member of the genus Catharto- 
carpus. 
We are not aware of the claim which Willdenow’s 
name, Bactyrilobium, has to be retained for this genus, in 
preference to that of Cathartocarpus; which seems to have 
been published four years previously. 
A shrub twelve feet high, quite smooth. Leaves alter- 
nate, stalked, of two pairs. Leaflets oblique on their inner 
edge, smooth on both sides ; the lower perfectly ovate, the 
upper more elongated. Gland conical, obtuse, between 
the lower leaflets. Stipules very small, subulate, deciduous. 
Racemes axillary, solitary, few-flowered, erect. Pedicels 
hanging down, angular. lowers orange, middle-sized. 
Pod exactly that of C. fistula, so that it cannot be distin- 
guished ; somewhat curved, cylindrical, very smooth, ter- 
minated by a filiform point; more than a foot long, inter- 
cepted inside by partitions, which are not visible externally.
