beneath the throat. Corona none (?). Glands of the disc 5, small, oblong, at the 

 base of the calyx -tube, opposite to its lobes. Stamens 5 ; anthers snbsessile, erect, 

 linear; connective long, thread-like. Endimentary ovary fusiform. Fruit 2 in., 

 long, glabrous, fusiform. — Maingay's specimens, like Wallich's, are very imperfect, 

 but the two are sufficiently alike to leave no doubt of their specific identity.

Glabrous. Branches terete. Leaves remote, 6-8 by 4-5 in., entire, rarely pal- 

 mately lobed, basal lobes rounded divaricate ; petiole 2-3 in., with a sessile gland 

 on either side at the apex. Cynies many-flowered, on a cylindrical peduncle as long 

 as the petiole, one branch cirrose. Male flowers \ in., bell-shaped. Calyx leathery, 

 spotted, 5-lobed to the middle; lobes oblong, obtuse. Petals membranous, white, 

 ovate, obtuse, springing from about the middle of the tube. Andrmcium membranous 

 and tubular below, above divided into five filaments; anthers linear-ovate, acute. 

 Glands of the disc 5, small, opposite to the sepals. Female flower: Calyx ^ m.. 

 funnel-shaped, slightly dilated above the base, leathery, spotted; lobes oblong, 

 3-nerved. Petals membranous, springing from the middle of the calyx-tube, oblong, 

 red, entire or minutely serrulate. Glands of the disc opposite the sepals, small, 

 o!)long, curved. Barren stamens forming a shallow membranous tube, divided above 

 into filiform segments. Ovary raised on a short gynophore, ovoid, surmounted by a 

 large peltate stigma with 3 refiexed wedge-shaped laciniate lobes. — In foliage very 

 like the entire-leaved form of M. palmata, but the anthers and stigmas are quite 

 different.

Leaves 2-3 by 2 in., shortly petiolate, slightly glaucous beneath. Calyx elongate, 

 constricted at the neck. Petals small. Anthers oblong muticous. Fruit 3 by 1 m. 

 —I have seen no authentic specimen of this either from the Andamans or from Java. 

 The specimen labelled by Kurz heterophylla in the herbarium has much larger an 

 markedly acuminate leaves. It is probably an entire-leaved form of M. palmata o 

 M. trilobata.
