The correct idea: ovary seems 5-celled with cell not dividing, sometimes incompletely, so the few (usually 2), not numerous ovules, seem attached in center of ovary and should have been considered them attached to file placenta, but [see B.M. J.C.P.] perhaps they are attached on inner edges of spiral placentae. No traces of stamens or staminodia. The 2 outer sepals intricated is 1 folded over the other, 3, the outside one folded on that. (The inside ones so small in bud and difficult to see if [illegible] intricated) 5-4 ? 5-5-29 Abelia Cofra, Harv. v. Sonder. p. 248 = Doryalis cofra, West B.M. J.C.P. 570. Only 1 tree with langetions at 2-3 corner of Arica from Agri. Stat. 1 near dios. 4-19-27. Sepals usually 4 finely pubescent outside, as are the ½ in pedicelo. Disglations, shining dark green. Floret from old wood. 5-4 ? 5-5-29 Garcinia Livingstonei, T. Anders. p. 247. Sepals B.M. J.C.P. 582 1 to W.N.D. 270. See 4-19-27. & Floret. Agri. Stat. Home from. Labeled "Feijoa dellowiana" but cannot be since Feijoa (see B.M. J.C.P. 587) belongs to Myrtaceae which has inferior ovary, aloelas or white tomence beneath, flo solitary, and long pedicelled. Branches very conspicuously in 3's or 4's. Low tops or in 3's. Flo from old wood. Flo solitary in -- groups of several each on peduncle ½ in long. Sepals 4, the 2 outside ones smaller. Petales 5 intricated, greenish. Stamens dies many from under or with filaments radiating in a thick yellowish Ovary 3-ovate, seated in center of disk.
