Thunberg’s original error in describing the calycine segments of the flowers

of Hermas as petals has been followed by most subsequent writers, by De Can-

dolle, by Endlicher (Gen. Pl. 790), by Sonder and others, whilst the same

organs have been made to do duty again as petals, the true subulate petals

This plant, of which the full generic character will be found in the above-

quoted Genera, bears, in the dried specimens, and, according to Mr. Spruce, in

the fresh state, so much resemblance to a Loranthus, that in the hasty sorting

of the Sprucean collection it was distributed as Loranthus, n. 22, and the

more readily as the scar left by the style on the top of the drupe i is exactly like

that left by a deciduous corolla on an inferior fruit. It t is, however, as ob-

served by Mr. Spruce, a terrestrial tree by no means parasite, ‘and the ovary is

really superior, = on dissection of the flowers and fruit it proved to eth

all the characters of Olacinee of the tribe Olacee, with, however, the ova

as far as we “ra been able to ascertain, perfectly 2-celled. That, bowever,

occurs in most species of Strombosia, ‘and, apparently, in some species of

The flowering specimens, one of which is here figured, had long been ex-

tensively distributed from Griffith’s Malacca collection as an apparently new

and remarkable genus, which I first described as such in the ‘ Genera Planta-

conjectured, I did not venture to unite them. Since that we received from

the Calcutta Garden, under the name of Sindora Siamensis, a specimen in

fruit, which at once reminded me of one of Wallich’s Guilandinas, and on

turning to this specimen (from Singapore), I found it was evidently con-

specific with Griffith’s plant, with leaflets of the same shape and size. | Con-

the same tree, with leaves much nearer to those describe by Miquel, whilst

Siam specimen from Calcutta has the leaflets shaped as in Griffith’s, but

of the size described by Miquel. Further specimens may therefore show that

there is but one species, for which Miquel’s name, S. Sumatrana, would have

to be adopted as the oldest ; the union would, however, at present be

ture. genus is nearest allied to Copaifera, although abundantly distinct

in calyx, petals, and stamens, and in the prickles of the pod.—G. Brntuam.

the wild ones, excepting, as Mr. Hanbury observed to me, in having the leaves

wholly glabrous ; that is, eink the hairy tufts in the axils of the principal

The only good figure esleoies of this long-known tree accompanies a

valuable memoir by Mr. ury, in the ‘ Pharmaceutical Journal’ (March,

1867), * On the Origin anit Preparation of Liquid Storax.” It is a species of

peculiar interest as being, like Platanus orientalis, the solitary outlier of a Bes

The first specimens (which were both in flower — fruit) I ever procured

of this very rare and now probably extinct plant, were given me by Mr.

Bennett, of St. Helena, on my second visit to that island in 1843 ; and I, at the

time, wrote on the ticket that it was now extinct, no doubt on Mr. Bennet tt’s

I take this opportunity, in figuring a very interesting and rare plant, of

correcting the serious ino er ge which I fell in describing it for the

* Genera ‘Plantarum’ as 8-an s, and hence anomalous in the forte The

stamens are very large faaell¢ in the buds, which alone I had the opportu-

nity of examining, occupying its whole cavity, the filaments not at all de-

guous cells tore ap and, each cell having a very deep longitudinal

speed (dividing it a transverse section into two apparently perfect cells),

I regarded each W half-anthe er as a whole one.

The petals seem to be normally valvate, but in some flowers their tips appear

imbricate, and in one flower one of the a seemed to overlap the contiguous

one strongly; their substance is, however, so black, thick, and fleshy, t the

broad oo of a anthers are so agglutinated to their ‘surfaces, and the

tips of the connectives especially cohere so closely with the apices of the

petals, that it is axioms difficult to obtain a clear view of the relations of

their parts, even on transverse sections of the bud. The ticket attached to

the specimens is marked “ Ravendo,” probably the name bo! a bBiaes to which

is added, “ produces ee of potash.” —J. D. Hoo

For this most interesting art I am indebted to my indefatigable friend

Mr. Melliss, who informs me that the green stems, like pat of Bamboo,

are brought to the market of St. Helena for sale, and are eaten raw under

the name of Jellico. It was ig eek discovered bs Shes early in aa

century, but does not exist in Bur 8 previous collections, and has u

been gathered by any subsequent siete except Mr. Melliss, who has |

to the Royal Gardens a cut specimen, living plants, seeds, and a bundle of

the stems, as sold in the market. He informs me that it is abundant in

ravines down each side of the central ridge fi Diana’s Peak, in rich damp

soil amongst Tree-ferns and Cabbage-trees (arborescent Composi te).

ium Helenianum is another instance of the curious fact, that herbaceous

plants are often represented by frutescent or = areca allies in insular loca-

lities, of which amongst Umébeliifere the plant figured in our next Plate is

another instance, and the Melanoselinum and Monizia of Madeira (umbel-

liferous plants, both now referred to 0 Thapsia) are others. Hedyotis arborea

pine oe and the arborescent Composite of St. Helena, are other cases

n point

As a species, the present is closely allied to S. Thunbergii, DC., of South

Africa, which has similarly acutely toothed and finely veined leaflets, ‘and shows

ea me: :

flexed ae of 8. Helewiannes. ane the stem is short and “herbaceous, and

Though differing from = generic character of Pharnaceum in the very

unequal sepals and entire stipules, I cannot doubt but that this plant should

This genus was established, in on Handbook = the New Zealand Flora,’

on two curious little plants, natives of the Southern Alps; it is closely allied

to Veronica, differing in the leaves not being obviously quadrifariously arranged,

though strictly opposite, and in the 5-6- lobed corolla; the lobes of the latter

are, however, unequal, and one is evidently larger than the rest. In both

species the filaments vary in len

This, one of the most Sarai of au and ‘tough probably referable

to the great tribe of Hedyotiden, is closely allied to no other plant of the

Order, except perhaps Carlemannia, with which it agrees in its most anoma-

lous characters of a diandrous flower, absence of stipules, and dentate leaves.

It ditfers from that genus in the valvate corolla-lobes, and from other Hedy lyo-

tidee in the ase stigma, and fleshy capsule 5-valved to the base. It is

named in honour of M. De Silva, one of Dr. Wallich’s most acute and inde-

fatigable sella, who was the first explorer of the Khasia and Silhet jungles.

sa oad singular plant indeed, and quite unlike any with which Lam

sunt, cept Seyphophora, which it resembles in general habit, but

from which it “differs widely i in structure. I find no trace of a style, but two

small recurved stigmas rise from the centre of the disk. The ovary is extremely

small, and owing to this and to the coriaceous texture and black colour of its

walls, its interior structure is very difficult to detect. I find (as does Pro-

fessor Oliver) constantly 2 cells, and 2 collateral ovules, attached to the centre

of the septum in each cell. ese two ovules are neither erect nor pendu-

lous, but spread horizontally to the right and left respectively of their com-

mon —_ of attachment. In Scyphophora the two ovules rise similarly from

the same point, whence one ascends and the other descends, and the thickened

placenta forms a septum to the cell between the ovules; I find no ——

of the placentas, nor constriction of the cells in this skint, —J.D. ER.

So similar to F. procumbens, A. Cunn. (Hook. Ie. Pl. t. 421), a by habit

i i wers, how-

ever, they differ widely, those of F. prostrata being much more sionate with

ellipsoid ovary, narrower longer calyx-tube, lanceolate acuminate calyx-lobes,

and the large capitate stigma is much exserted. At first I was inclined to

Pi ea that these differences might be sexual, but I should rather regard

hem as diagnostic of two reoaene species that possibly had a compa-

ratively rece sat common ori gin. It is a remarkable fact that many of the

Barrier Island plants differ “permanently, thonek slightly, and some ‘strongly

aud specifically, from those of the oo main island, indicative of a long

geographical severance.—J. D.

The firmer teetinrs of the “calyx and bracts, and the early fall ‘of the latter,

appear additional minor distinctions. ‘The follicles entirely correspond in

the two species. The physiological ‘action of the Kombe poison, obtained

from the seeds, has been investigated by Dr. Thomas R. Fraser, who includes

it in the class of cardiac poisons. (Vide Proc. Royal Soc. Edinb., 1860-70,
