12. D. Maingayi, Clarke; leaves large obovate pilose beneath, pedicels 
3-1 in. densely clustered rusty hirsute, filaments glabrous. 
Matracea ; Maingay (n. 996-2). ; 
Branchlets thick, rusty-villous. Leaves 9} by 6 in., obtuse, base cuneate, primary 
nerves 13 on each side, carried parallel almost to the margin, secondary distinct ; 
petiole nearly 2 in.  Pedicels densely clustered along the branches below the ter- 
minal leaves. Calyx-lobes  in., ovate, obtuse, rusty hirsute. Corolla 3-1 in., nearly 
glabrous without, lobes ovate acute. Stamens 12; filaments about as long as the 
anthers. Fruit not seen.—Nearly allied to D. obovata, but the corolla is much shorter 
with wider lobes, and the indumentum is more spreading. 
13. D. hexandra, Clarke; leaves elliptic-oblong suddenly narrowed at 
both ends glabrous, pedicels }-} in. clustered axillary, filaments pilose hardly 
so long as the anthers. Isonandra hexandra, Griff. Notul. iv. 292. Payena 
Griffithii, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 121, and in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 230 ?. 
Maracca; Griffith (Kew Distrib, n. 3609), Maingay (n. 984). 
Shoots closely rusty-tomentose. Leaves 6 by 23 in. (generally much smaller), very 
shortly obtusely acuminate or subobtuse, much less cuneate at the base than in the 
3 foregoing species, primary nerves 9-10 on each side, secondary not prominent; 
petiole {-3 in. Calyx-lobes țin., ovate, minutely closely tomentose. Corolla 1-4 in. ; 
lobes elliptic, acute, nearly glabrous without. Berry E in. diam., globose, 1-seeded. 
Seed exalbuminous.—Kurz says his Payena Griffithii was Hexameria, Griff., a name 
unpublished either as a genus or section by Griffith. Kurz’s diagnosis is so short 
that placing his plant here is a mere guess. 
14. D. rubens, Clarke; leaves obovate-oblong obtuse glabrous, pedicels 
iin. axillary minutely tomentose, filaments and corolla-tube within glabrous. 
Maracca ; Maingay (n. 995). 
Shoots minutely closely rusty-tomentose. Leaves 4 by 1} in., base cuneate, drying 
red, primary nerves not prominent; petiole 4 in. Calyx-lobes 1 in., ovate, subacute, 
minutely closely tomentose. Corolla } in, or more, lobes 6, oblong, obtuse. Stamens 
12; filaments all short, subequal ; anthers oblong, acute, mucronate. Berry not ripe, 
promises to be 3 in. diam.— Not very closely allied to any of the preceding species. 
15. D. Gutta, Benth. in Gen. Pl. ii. 658; leaves obovate-oblong very 
shortly obtusely acuminate coriaceous, pedicels 2 in. in axillary clusters, fila- 
ments glabrous longer than the anthers. Isonandra Gutta, Hook. Lond. Journ. 
Bot. vi, 464, t. 16; Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 1038, t. 36; Bentl. & Trim, Med. Pl. 
t. 167. 
Maracca and Srixcarong; Lobb, Maingay.—Distriz. Sumatra. 
A tree, 40 ft. ; shoots minutely rusty-tomentose. Leaves 44 by 2 in. (sometimes 
much longer), base cuneate, densely closely rusty-tomentose beneath, ultimately 
glabrescent, primary nerves 24-30 on each side, not prominent; petiole 13 in. Calyx- 
lobes $ in., ovate, obtuse, rusty-tomentose. Corolla X in.; lobes 6, elliptic obtuse. 
Stamens 12. Ovary 6-celled. Berry % in., ovoid, 2-1-seeded.— Easily distinguished 
from all the preceding species by the numerous primary nerves of the leaf.—Gutta- 
percha. 
6. BASSIA, inn. 
Trees. eaves petioled, coriaceous, silky or tomentose beneath when 
young ;.stipules caducous. Pedicels axillary, fascicled, among the subterminal 
tufts of leaves, or in the axils of fallen leaves. Caly-segments 4, 2-seriate, 
2 outer valvate enclosing the inner (except in P. butyracea). Corolla-tube 
campanulate ; lobes 6-12 (usually 8-10), contorted in bud. Stamens at 
least twice as many as the corolla-lobes, 12-40 (usually 16-20) ; anthers lan- 
ceolate, acute, connective often mucronate or excurrent. Ovary villous, 4-19-
