The stamens, generally six in num- ber, and more or less perigynous, are usually free, more rarely mona- delphous at the base. The majority of the characters of any importance are therefore most variable in this genus; but all its species have this ia common, that their fruit is an elongated drupe, often trigonal, with a very thick and hard stone, hollowed into several cells, only one being usually developed, and containiug a seed having a thick oily embryo with entire or cut and contortuplicate cotyle- dons.^ The perigynous nature, that is to say, the concave form of the receptacle, is still more accentuated yd. the Garugas, trees from Asia and Oceania, whose flowers are pentamerous, diplostemonous, having an ovary with four or five cells, and whose fruit is drupaceous, globular, but with many monospermous stones. Kg. 282. Fruit. Kg. 283. Dehiscent firuit. â â Near Canarium is placed Trigonochlamys, incompletely known and having polygamous, trimerous flowers. The sepals are _ very large, valvate; and the petals much shorter and nar- rower. The six stamens, sterile in the female flowers, are inserted on the edge of a smaU con- tinuous disk surrounding the gynseoeum. This has a free, glohular, depressed ovary with three hi-ovulate cells.
