This species has dice— cions flowers. 3 Which occurs, at least during a certain time, in other Jatrophas, such as J. Curcas (fig. 164). The result of the indehisoence of the pericarp is here, as often elsewhere, the slight development of the aril. * I believe it is of the same plant that Mueller has made [Prodr, 1111.) his Rieinodai- droii africaims, whose name, according to us hecomes a section of Jafropha. 5 H.
