lobes; corolla shortly 3-lobed, urceolate, pale tawny, silky outside, 
inside glabrous or nearly so; staminodes none; ovary densely 
silky-hairy, 3-celled ; ovules 2 in each cell. 
Fruits solitary, lateral, in 2 opposite rows or axillary, ellipsoidal, 
obtuse, rather umbilieate at the apex, 14 in. long, by apparently 
about 1 in. thick, with scattered hairs, about 4-seeded, 3-celled ; 
fruiting calyx shallow-eupshaped, } in. diam., hairy outside, with 
3 (or perhaps more) vague rounded lobes; seeds 2, together or 
solitary, in the cells of the fruit, about 1 in. long ; albumen ap- 
parently uniform. 
Hab. Fiji Islands; apparently not uncommon, in mountainous 
situations, in woods. Lavoni valley, January 1878, Horne 
No. 201 (male plant in flower); Rabi, March 1878, Horne, 
without number (female plant in flower); Viti Levu, mountains 
of Navosa, Horne No. 1013 (female plant in fruit). 
No. 823 of the same collection, “in the forests near Naquare 
on the Navua river, Viti Levu, June 1878," with smaller and 
perhaps younger fruits and with highly verrucose branchlets, 
may possibly belong to the same species. 
Dicuorsis Hornet (Hartog, MS. in Herb. Kew. 1879). 
Arborea, glabra, ramulis validis nodulosis, foliis confertis petiolatis 
oblanceolato-oblongis obtusis coriaceis, floribus fasciculatis axillaribus 
longe pedicellatis, calycis segmentis tubo zquilongis, exterioribus ovatis 
rigidis glabris, interioribus tenuioribus pilosis, corolle tubo brevi, seg- 
mentis oblongis obtusis, antheris lanceolatis apiculatis filamentis brevibus 
inzequilongis. 
A tree about 50 feet in height, with a trunk 2 feet in diameter. 
Branchlets stout, glabrous, with raised nodes from which spring 
the clusters of flowers. Leaves crowded at the end of the branch- 
lets, distinctly petioled, oblanceolate-oblong, obtuse, 3-4 in. long, 
1-13 in. broad, narrowed gradually from the middle to the base, 
Very coriaceous, green and glabrous on both surfaces, the arching 
main veins parallel from midrib to margin about j in. apart. 
Flowers in numerous crowded axillary fascicles on arching 
glabrous peduncles about an inch long. Calyx campanulate, 
coriaceous, 4 in. long, the three outer segments ovate, obtuse, 
valvate, rather longer than the tube, very rigid in texture, the 
three inner thinner in texture and pilose on the back. Corolla 
seen in the bud-stage only, glabrous, with 6 oblong much imbri-
