Nearly related to Meliads, in whose affini-ties they participate, and chiefly distinguishedby their winged and indefinite seeds. Flin-dersia, a genus estabhshed by Brown in theAppendix to Captain Flinders Vogage, differsfrom Cedrelads both in the insertion of itsseeds, which are erect, in the dehiscence of itscapsules, and also in having moveable dissepi-ments : these last, however. Brown considersas segments of a common placenta, having apeculiar form.
