Branchlets and peduncles puberulous. Leaves 4-5 by 2-24 in., rather coriaceous, 
nerves with minute tufts of hair in the axils; petiole }-} in.; stipules oblong. 
Peduncles 3-13 in., with a small 4-lobed cup of bracts below the middle, of which 2 
opposite are larger than the others. Heads i-j in. diam., in fruit 2 in. diam.—I 
have seen no authentic specimen of Junghuhnii, but find the name attached by 
Maingay to his specimens. Miquel’s description is most meagre. 
2. ANTHOCEPHALUS, 4. Rich. 
A glabrous tree. Leaves petioled ; stipules lanceolate, caducous, Flowers 
in terminal globose peduncled solitary heads, without bracteoles, united by 
their confluent calyx-tubes; peduncles with basal stipular bracts. Calyx-limb 
tubular, 5-lobed, persistent or deciduous. Corolla-tube long, funnel-shaped, 
throat glabrous; lobes 5, imbricate. Stamens on the throat of the corolla, 
filaments short. Ovary 4-celled above, 2-celled below; style exserted, stigma 
spindle-shaped ; ovules very many, horizontal on 2 bifid placentas, which ascend 
from the septa below its middle, and send an arm into each of the 4 upper 
cells. Fruits confluent into a fleshy globose mass of many few-seeded coria- 
ceous pyrenes. Seeds minute, testa rather thin; embryo clavate in fleshy 
albumen.
