East India shrubs and trees, little known in Britain. “The hard and wrinkled seeds of Elæocarpus are made into necklaces in the East Indies, and, set in gold, are sold in our shops.”—(_Hook._) ORDER XXXII*.—DIPTEROCARPÆ.—THE CAMPHOR TREE TRIBE. There are two kinds of Camphor, one produced by boiling the branches of a kind of laurel, and the other (the Camphor of Sumatra) is found in large pieces in the hollow parts of the branches of _Dryobalanops Camphora_, one of the species included in this order. None of these trees have been introduced into Britain. ORDER XXXIII.—CHELONACEÆ, OR HUGONIACEÆ. Small trees and shrubs, natives of the East Indies and Madagascar; only the genus Hugonia is known in Britain. ORDER XXXIV.—TERNSTRŒMIACEÆ.—THE TERNSTRŒMIA TRIBE. The principal plants in this order common in England are Gordonia, Stuartia, and Malachodendron. _Gordonia Lasianthus_, the Loblolly Bay, is a small evergreen tree, with white flowers, about the size of a rose. It is a native of America; and Stuartia and Malachodendron are beautiful low trees or shrubs, with large white flowers from the same country. The flowers have five large petals; the stamens are numerous, with the filaments growing together at the base, and attached to the petals; and there are five carpels more or less connected. Gordonia has its five sepals leathery, and covered with a silky down; its stamens almost in five distinct bundles, a five-celled capsule, and its seeds each furnished with a wing. Stuartia has a permanent calyx, five-cleft, but not parted into distinct sepals, with two bracts at the base, and a woody five-celled capsule, with seeds without wings; and Malachodendron (which was formerly called _Stuartia pentagynia_) has a calyx similar to that of Stuartia, but the edges of the petals are curiously crenulated, and there are five distinct carpels, each containing only one seed. Some botanists include the Camellia and the Tea in the order Ternstrœmiaceæ. ORDER XXXV.—CAMELLIACEÆ.—THE CAMELLIA TRIBE.
