A tree? Leaves about 7 by 4 in.; nerves nearly at right angles to the midrib, 
about 12 pairs, prominent on both surfaces; petiole stout, about 2} in.; stipules 
lanceolate, about i in. Male Jl. numerous, scattered, shortly pedicelled; anther 
broad, single, sessile ; sepals 2 or 3. Gall and fem. fl. shortly pedicelled ; sepals 4 or 
5, lanceolate (ripe achenes unknown). Interior of the receptacle covered between the 
insertions of the flowers with long, narrow, pointed scales.—A remarkable species; I 
ave seen only three specimens.

deciduous, linear, acute. Male JL. few, scattered, pedicelled ; sepals 4, hyaline ; anther
