midrib at an angle of 45°, looped some distance from the margin, 
loops forming a deeply crenate line about 1 lin. from the margin ; 
veins close and rather fine below, forming an areolate-reticulate 
venation ; petiole 3-1} in. long, ribbed when dry, covered with 
glabrous deciduous bark; stipules persistent, lanceolate, acute, 
¢ in. long, about 4 lin. broad at the base, membranous, glabrous. 
Receptacles axillary, solitary or in pairs, sessile, globose, contracted 
at the apex into a beak about 2 lin. long, rather densely hispid, nearly 
glabrous around the ostiole. Basal bracts probably 2, soon splitting 
up, membranous, glabrous. Ostiole 2-lipped ; orifice 4 lin. long, 
very narrow ; bracts small, descending. Male flowers few, subsessile ; 
perlanth-segments 3, lanceolate, acute, membranous, glabrous 
Stamen solitary ; filament short; anther 3 lin. long, shortly mu- 
cronate. Female flowers sessile; perianth-segments 3, linear- 
lanceolate, very acute, membranous, as long as the achene ; achene 
obliquely ellipsoid, shining ; style lateral, as long as the achene ; 
stigma shortly 2-fid. Receptacular scales linear-subulate, acute,

and excl. var. A tree 25 ft. high or a climbing shrub ; branchlets 
glabrous or slightly puberulous, angular when dry, covered with grey 
bark. Leaves elliptic, oblong-oblanceolate or oblanceolate, gradually 
and acutely or subacutely acuminate (acumen 3-1 in. long), rounded 
or narrowed at the base, 44-9 in. long, 1-4 in. broad, entire, rigidly 
chartaceous or subcoriaceous, glabrous and dull on both surfaces 
or slightly shining below, strongly and closely reticulate below ; 
midrib flat above, prominent below, nearly 3 lin. broad at the base, 
Stadually tapered to the apex of the blade; lateral nerves 4-5 on 
each side, looped a long way from the margin, often with a second 
‘ntramarginal nerve between the loops and the margin, prominent 
below ; petiole }-3 in. long, narrowly sulcate, glabrous; stipules 
Persistent, linear-subulate to lanceolate, very acute, about 4-4 in. 
long, rigidly chartaceous, slightly puberulous or almost glabrous. 
€ceptacles axillary, solitary, subsessile or pedunculate, globose, 
nearly } in. in diam., glabrous and often very slightly tuberculate ; 
peduncles (when present) about } in. long, nearly ? lin. thick, glabrous. 
Basal bracts deciduous but probably 2, connate at the base. Ostiole 
hot prominent, 2-lipped; mouth 4 lin. wide; bracts not visible 
from the outside, the upper spreading transversly across the ostiole, 
the lower small and subulate-lanceolate, pointing into the receptacle, 
glabrous. Male flowers sessile; perianth-segments 3, oblong,
