about } lin. long. Male flowers sessile: Sepals ovate, obtuse, about 1 
lin. long, $ lin. broad, coriaceous, tomentellous cn both sides. Disk- 
glands fleshy, rounded, shortly pubescent. Filaments about half as 
long as the sepals, glabrous ; anther-cells distinct, pendulous, free from 
the filament in the lower half. Rudimentary ovary densely tomentose. 
Female flowers: pedicel stout, 8 lin. long (seen only in young fruit), 
shortly pubescent. Sepals as in the male but larger. Ovary (young
