lied to, the preceding. The specific name is in allusion
to the slriking likeness in the form of the leaves, to
those o f Calophyllum Walkerii tab. 45 of the preceding
volume.
I am necessarily forced to pass over, unnoticed, many
species only known to me from description, often
not very perfect, but as my object is to sketch an arrangement,
it would tend to destroy its usefulness were i to
introduce species unknown to me as they might chance
to be placed in wrong sections, or might not even belong
to the genus. The following species I have ascertained
from the examination o f specimens must be excluded.
EXPLANATION OF
F ig. 1. A—Section of the base o f a very young ovary
o f the Pomegranate, showing the lower series of carpels,
4 in number, with a single central placenta in each cell.
B —Another section of the same ovary, showing the
upper series in this instance 6 in number, each having a
single parietal placenta—These two figures are taken
from opposite sides of the same slice.
F ig. 2. C.D—These are sections of another ovary
somewhat further advanced, showing, the derangement
caused in the lower series of carpels by the growth of
parts in a very confined space.
C. The lower series.—D . The upper series of carpels;
in this instance 7 in number. These two sections^ as in
the former instance are taken from opposite sides of the
same slice.

Eugenia laurina! Moon’s catalogue, is a species o f
Symptocos. " ■
Eugenia capitellata (Arn. Pugillus) is a species of
Memecylon.
Had I felt the slightest wish to extend the list of species,
I believe, the materials in my possession would have
enabled me without difficultyto have done so, but being
anxious on the contrary rather to reduce than extend the
list of doubtful species I have been careful to add none
of my own on which a doubt can exist. Most of those
I have named as new species, will shortly be figured in
the leones.
