628 ! 2320 !), the leaves of which vary from 43-7 in. long, including the acuminate 
apex (5-9 lin. long), and 13-23 in. wide ; the lateral nerves are from 6-12 on 
each side, and the margin is entire or shortly toothed in the broader upper 
portion of the leaf. The peduncle is 5-6 lin. long and the 5-6-toothed receptacle 
about 4 lin. broad, with 5-6 tapering bract-arms } in. long. There is a solitary
