208 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
diametro, statim ramoso ; ramo altero uncinato-recurvo, ramulis 
brevibus multifloris bracteatis pubescentibus ; bracteis ovatis v. 
obovatis, extus velutinis, Pedicelli vix 2 lin. longi, infra florem 
incrassati; floribus pro planta parvis. Sepala crassa, patentia, 
3-4 lin. lon ga, basi 3 lin. lata, tumida, extus velutina, in acumen 
lineare recurvum producta. Petala 6, coriacea, inter se 
subzequalia, extus velutina, basi dilatata et intus lamina car- 
nosa aucta, supra laminam paullo constricta ed divergentia. 
Stamina numerosa, multiseriata. Ovaria plurima. 
The specimens are impérfect, but the inflorescence as well as 
the flowers, in so far as we have been able to ascertain their 
structure, sufficiently indicate their close affinity to the genus 
Artabotrys, of which the species hitherto described are all from 
the Hast Indian Archipelago, or from the south-eastern parts of 
the Asiatic continent. ;
