Garden, but before either had been placed in the public 
collection. The second legend became current after one of 
the two was planted out. Although cup-shaped leaves are 
occasionally to be met with in other plants, the inside of 
the cup is in these formed by the upper side of the leaf; 
F. Krishne is the only species so far known in which the 
converse condition prevails, 
Descr.—A. small tree, with grey bark. Branchlets pube- 
rulous, Leaves cup-shaped with the upper surface of the 
leaf outside, the limb of the cup irregular with its upper 
side, containing the midrib which gives off 4-5 pairs of 
lateral nerves looping some way from the obscurely 
undulate margin, thrice as long as the 5-nerved entire or 
emarginate lower side; length 3°5 in., width across limb 
8 in., petiole terete sparingly pubescent as is the inside of 
the cup (lower side of leaf); stipules oblong-triangular, 
sharplyacuminate, externally sparsely pubescent, 2°5—3°5 in. 
long. Receptacles axillary, sessile, geminate, androgynous, 
with 3 rounded slightly cordate bracts, globose, velvety- 
puberulous; diam. 6-7 lin. Male flowers pedicellate ; 
perianth segments 3, elliptic, obtuse; stamen solitary, 
anther subsessile ovate rather shorter than perianth- 
segments; connective slightly produced obtuse or subacute 
at the tip. Female flowers sessile or occasionally pedicellate ; 
perianth segments 4, ovate-oblong lacinulate above and 
acute at the tip; ovary ovate or subglobose ; style slender 
as long as the ovary ; stigma terminal almost as long as 
the style, thinly membranous, oblong elliptic, subpeltate at 
the base and acute at the apex.—D. Prain.
