126 SIR DIETRICH BRANDIS—AN ENUMERATION 
Leaves very large, to 27 in. long, resembling those of V. sarawak- 
ensis, but petioles glabrous or lepidote; tertiary nerves more 
reticulate, and intramarginal veins not prominent. Differs also 
by the long cylindrical style and obtuse stigma, and by the re- 
flexed sepals of the fruiting-calyx and the conical, not globular 
fruit.

Petioles very long, up to 23 in., 1 the length of leaf; tertiary 
nerves parallel and slightly reticulate. Inflorescence terminal 
and lateral. Panicles as well as calyx and petals clothed with 
dense ferruginous stellate pubescence. Anther-cells very un- 
equal; appendix of connective conical. Ovary 5-ribbed, clothed 
with minute fasciculate hairs ; style 5-ribbed ; stigma consisting 
of 3 fleshy conical pointed lobes. Fruit unknown. To this I 
refer V. furfuracea, Burck (Beccari, 2718). The flowers are a 
little larger, but have the same structure; the petioles are a 
little shorter. Fruit unknown. 
Of the six last-named species, V. pauciflora, sarawakensis, 
and pedicellata have short petioles; those of V. Rassak and 
Zollingeriana are moderately long ; while those of V. oblongifolia 
equal the fourth part of the blade.
