dle; stem about 15 cm. in diameter; bark mottled with 
grayish white. Leaves few, arranged in 2 to 3 opposite pairs 
at the ends of the twigs, very unequal, ovate or oblong ovate, 
1 to 4 dm. long including the petiole, 7 to 20 cm. wide, 
base broadly cordate, apex abruptly acute to acuminate, mem- 
branous, less green beneath, hispid on both sides but es- 
pecially beneath, edges entire or shallowly dentate; nerves 
brown, 7 to 9 pairs including the 1 to 2 basal pairs, as- 
cendingly curved, faintly united at the ends, prominent be- 
neath but quite conspicuous on the upper surface, larger re-

ules deciduous, 12 mm. long, lanceolate, obtuse, submem-

Receptacles hispidulous, 12 mm. in diameter, yellow when 
mature upon the tree but turning reddish after falling, quite 
soft, subglobose, frequently verrucose, base more tapering into 
a 2 to 3 cm. long yellowish peduncle which is more or 
less obscurely bracteate, reddish umbilical scales forming a
