Abstract

Kayea Wallich, PI. As. rar. 3: 5. 1832 and Mesua L., Spec. PI. 515.
1753 are very closely related.
Bentham and Hooker (Gen. PI. 1: 176. 1862) distinguished both genera
in this way, that Kayea has a one-celled ovarium with one seed and a
4-fid style, whereas Mesua has a 2-celled ovary and 4 ovules, the stigma
being peltate.
