with cuneate base, margin broadly and obtusely dentate, 13-23 in. 
long, #-1}4 in. wide; lateral nerves curving upwards and passing 
into the teeth; petiole 5-7 lin. long. Peduncle slender, ?-1} in. 
long ; receptacle ovate, 23-34 lin. long, with a broad green shallowly 
toothed margin, 14-2 lin. broad, passing above into a linear bract 
5 lin. long and below into two narrowly triangular teeth, 24 lin. long. 
Female flowers about 5. 
Mozamb. Distr. German East Africa: Usambara; Lutindi, Liebusch. 
Ihave not seen a specimen. Engler includes the species in his section Kosaria, 
and says that it somewhat recalls D. Getzei ; he does not, however, state whether 
the style is simple or branched. 
5. TRYMATOCOCCUS Poepp. & Endl.; Benth. et Hook. f. 
Gen. Pl. iii. 366. 
Flowers moneecious. Male: perianth 2-lobed ; segments concave. 
Stamens 2 (in African species), opposite the perianth-lobes ; filaments 
exceeding the perianth, free, inflexed in bud ; anther-cells contiguous 
or slightly separated on a broad connective. Female flower embedded 
in the receptacle. Perianth very thin around the ovary but forming 
a thicker projecting tube around the style. Ovary ovoid, passing 
above into a long excentrically attached style which divides into a 
pair of narrow style-arms spreading from the mouth of the perianth ; 
ovule solitary, pendulous, anatropous. Fruit occupying the interior 
of the enlarged subglobose receptacle which bears on its somewhat 
‘flattened top the remains of the male flowers. Pericarp thin above, 
becoming thickened below. Seed subglobose or transversely ellip- 
soid; testa chartaceous, filled with the embryo which consists 
of a small superior radicle, a minute undeveloped cotyledon and a 
second much enlarged cotyledon which occupies almost the whole 
of the interior—Shrubs or small trees. Leaves alternate, generally 
oblong-elliptic, acuminate, with unequal base; petioles very short. 
Stipules narrowly triangular, deciduous or somewhat persistent. 
Inflorescences small, solitary or several on a reduced branch in the 
leaf-axils, consisting of a peduncle which generally exceeds the 
petiole, and passes above into a small top-shaped receptacle bearing 
numerous minute male flowers and a single central female flower ; 
bracts forming generally inconspicuous lobes round the margin of 
the receptacle, and occurring occasionally on the peduncle, 
One species in the Amazon district, 4 in tropical Africa.
