It must have been owing to some mistake that the carpels have been described as

having 3 or 4 ovules in each, of which only one comes to maturity, I can find no trace

of any more than one in the youngest fruits on the specimens. ‘The second seed

figured in the Botanical Miscellany evidently belongs to the adjoining carpel. ave

carpels sometimes remain unseparated and the valves are so thin that without careful

examination the two seeds appear to be in one carpel, one a little above and overlaying

the other as represented by the artist.

Independently of the fine nearly glabrous foliage and lateral glands (which are =

quite constant), this species is readily distinguished from the four preceding ones by t!

short flowers.
