pedunculis terminalibus subbifloris, petalis orbienlatis scabro-tomen- 
tosis calyce duplo longioribus inter se subæqualibus, baccis globosis

Folia 3-5-pollicaria, obtusa v. acuminata, petiolis 1-3 lin. longis 
rufo-tomentosis. Inflorescentia terminalis, ramulo excurrente demum 
lateralis. Pedicelli $-1-pollicares, supra medium bracteam parvam 
orbiculatam ferentes, uniflori. Calyx 3 lin. longus, ultra medium 
divisus in lacinias 3 late orbiculatas obtusas. Petala in flore aperto 
circa 7 lin. diametro, inter se æqualia v. interiora paullo longiora, 
obtusa, crassiuscula, pube minuta velutina utrinque tomentosa. 
Stamina numerosa, filamentis linearibus complanatis, exterioribus 
lineari-spathulatis; antheræ continue, loculis immersis exteriorum 
cassis. Ovaria numerosa, linearia, ferrugineo-tomentosa, unilocu- 
laria, ovulis plurimis. Stylus brevis, glaber, vertice clavato-stigma- 
tosus. Carpella globosa, 3 lin. diametro, extus tomentella v. demum 
glabrata, stipite carpello breviore. Semina 2, dissepimento tenui 
transverso separata, in specimine immatura. 
Of very common occurrence, and usually a low shrub. 
Uvaria platypetala, Champ. sp. n.; foliis petiolatis obovali-oblongis 
basi cordatis supra preter costam glabris subtus stellato-pubescen- 
tibus et ad venas ramulis pedunculisque dense rufo-hirsutis, petalis 
subæqualibus amplis orbiculatis tomentellis calycis lacinias maximas 
membranaceas paullo superantibus.—Folium vidi unicum, fere U., 
grandifore, Roxb., 8 poll. longum, apice breviter acuminatum, 
submembranaceum, petiolo 4-lineari. Pedicellus brevis, sub flore 
incrassatus. Calyx fere pollicaris, in lacinias 3 late orbiculatas irre- 
gulariter fissus. Petala paullo majora et crassiora.— Species ab U. 
grandiflora differt imprimis calyce amplo et petalis multo latioribus. 
I was unwilling to destroy the single flower on my specimen by _ 
dissecting the ovaries, but Capt. Champion has a fruit supposed to - 
belong to this species, which is one of several carpels, is thickly covered - 
with a tawny pubescence, polyspermous, and somewhat contracted — 
between the seeds. 
Found in the low jungle near the Buddhist temple, East Point. 
4. Artabotrys hamata, Bl. FL Jav. 
Most abundant near the Buddhist temple, East Point, and in the 
woods about the waterfall, Happy Valley. Flowers in summer,
