ApEiBEAM, insere : 2Sa. Ancisteocaepus. Stamina 5-adelpha (in Glyphasa et Apeiha libera v. vix basi connata). Fructus globosus, echinatus.—Afr. trop. Post 35. EcHlNOCAEPUM, insere : 35«. Phcenicospeemttm. Sepala 4, valvata. Petala 4, angusta. Discus Sloanea. Fructus velu- tinus, 4-valvis. Semina arilla involuta.—Java. 231. Geneeibus exclusis t. dubiis adde: Siphomeris, Bojer, a Lindleyo ad Grewiam relata, est Muhiacea. Pteeocoelion, Turcz. in Bidl. Mosc. 1863. i. 572, frutex v. arbor in Java ab Horsfieldio lectus, a nobis non visus, ab auctore ab tribum Domheyearum inter Si!ercM?j«ceas refertur ; cliarac- teres tamen haud conveniunt. Cum Pentace (Tiliacearum) satis conveniunt, prseter capsulam 10-locularem 10-alatam. Specimina nulla cum descriptione Turczaninovii convenientia in coUec- tionibus ditissimis Horsfieldianis a nobis visis invenimus. Endosteiea, Turcz. in BuU. Mosc. 1863. i. 575. Arbor seu frutex ex auctoi-e in ins. Sti. Vin- centii a Caleyo lectus, nobis omnino ignotus est. Calyx valvatim 4-fidus. Petala 4-5, calyoe breviora. Stamina oo, exteriora perfecta ternatim petalis opposita, antheris oblongis, interiora sterilia 2-3- spriata lineari-setacea, incano-pubera, omnia cum petalis disco annulari inserta. Ovarium disco immersum, 3-locuIare, ovulis in loculis 2 pendulis. Stylus columnaris, stigmate parvo.—Folia oppo- sita, integerrima, penninervia. Flores parvi, pediceUis in axillis fasciculatis, 2-4-nis.—Patria verisi- militer erronea. Auctor genus ad Tiliacearum tribum Broionloiviearum (errore typographico Brocontowiearum) refert, sed characteres nequaquam conveniunt. 6.
