This genus is referred by most Botanists to Myrlaccce ? Barring-
iontete, but no character by which the sub-order may be distinguished
is assigned, except its alternate leaves without semi-transpavent
dots. Mr. W. Griffith in a letter, hints, I think, (I have not now the
letter at hand to ascertain) that both this and Sonneratia are more
properly referable to Lythrari'e. I am not sure about the latter but
I think that the remarkable conformation of the seed affords sufficient.
reason for removing both this and Barringlonia, from both
Myrtace* and Lythrariec, iiferæ to form a distinct order approaching Gut- n the character of their seed.
