and pedicels. Leaves six to ten inches long, very broadly or- 
bicular-cordate, suddenly tapering to a long point, remotely 
toothed, glabrous except the nerves above, downy beneath. 
Stipules very large, broadly oblong, obtuse,deciduous. Flowers 
moneecious, in short axillary cymes, two and a half inches 
_ across, white in our specimen, white and pink in dried ones 
from Fernando Po. Sepals in both sexes two, broadly oblong, 
obtuse, concave. Stamens in one short compressed bundle, 
apparently seated on a flat receptacle; anthers narrow linear, 
obtuse, emarginate. Ovary nearly spherical, but somewhat 
urceolate, downy, obscurely five- or six-lobed, five- or six- 
celled, with deeply lobed dissepiments. Styles five or six, 
rather slender, with two horns, which are divaricating at the 
base, and twisted at their apices. Fruit described by Mr. 
Mann as a large, nearly spherical, fleshy, indehiscent berry.
