' These two last characters alone distinguish the section Canyphora from the section Mala- bathrum, which also contains some species with alternate leaves. In the latter section the upper part alone of the perianth comes off at a certain age, so that the receptacular cupule remains crowned by six truncate teeth. Its leaf-hnds are naked, or only protected by qnite rudi- mentary scales. The section CampTiora includes, "besides the true Camphor-plants, CecidodapJine (Nebs, in Wall. PI. Asiat.
