86 MR. SCOTT ELLIOT ON THE BOTANICAL RESULTS 
species ; they differ, however, from no. 5101 by the extremities 
of the branches being somewhat hairy and by the upper surface 
of the thinner leaves being more deeply marked by depressed 
lines alongside the principal veins. 
No. 5613 presents the following characters :— 
Branches glabrous except the young parts, brown-dusky, 
rather slender; the internodes mostly 3—$ in. long, and the young 
shoots beset with very short black hairs. Leaves alternate, 
elliptical, acuminate, more or less narrowed at the base, prolonged 
towards the apex into a narrow and rather obtuse acumen, 13-43 in. 
long by 2-13 in. broad, thinly coriaceous, of nearly the same 
colour on both surfaces, glossy; lateral veins (in the dry state) 
much depressed above and in relief beneath; petiole 5-35 in. 
long, glabrate or hispid with some black hairs. Fruit-calyx 4 in. 
diam., glabrous, appressed to the base of the fruit; lobes 3, short, 
rounded, nearly black. ‘Fruit-peduncle 3-2 in. long, glabrous. 
Fruit depresso-globose, solitary, lateral, glabrous, nearly black, 
rather glossy, 1 in. diam., ?# in. long, 3(?}-celled. Seeds 3, about 
3 in. long, + in. broad, 3 in. thick. ; albumen not ruminated. 
Maba Eiliotii appears to belong to the section HoLocuiLus, 
and can be placed among the species between IZ. quiloénsis, Hiern, 
of East Tropical Africa, and WU. micrantha, Hiern, of Bombay.
