526 MONOECIA MONANDRIA. Artocarpus. 
dentate-serrate, or scolloped, of a thick, firm, harsh texture; 
from six to twelve inches long, and from four to eight broad. 
Stipules two, spathiform, within the leaves, opposite, cadu- 
cous, ments, the first that appear are immediately below 
the germs, which contain the new swelling foliage ; afterwards 
when the leaves begin to expand they are axillary, both male 
and female are Jong-peduncled, and nearly round. MALE 
FLOWERS. Calyx, ament long-peduncled, sub-rotund, of 
the size of a nutmeg, covered with innumerable, very minute 
florets, intermixed with ‘slender, peltate bractes, or scales. 
Perianth proper; scales two, rarely three, wedge-shaped, 
with their apices somewhat rugged. Corol none. Filaments 
one or two, rather longer than the corol, Anthers twin. 
FEMALE AMENTS amongst the male. Calyx; ament long-pe- 
duncled, spherical, entirely covered with innumerable florets, 
intermixed with small peltate scales, as in the male. Peri- 
anth proper, one-leaved, clavate, fleshy, with a small perfo- 
ration for the style to pass through, Corol none. Stamina 
none. Germ ovate, Style slender. Stigma curved, and just 
‘projecting without the apex of the perianth, Fruit com- 
pound, perfectly round, drooping on its long peduncle, about 
the size of a very large orange, and much like the bread 
fruit, Artocarpus incisa, only much smaller, Seeds numerous, 
oblong, white, and about the size of Pistachio nuts, 
It differs widely in many respects from Artocarpus 
Lakoccha, First, chiefly in the appearance of the trees; for 
this is tall and straight, growing to an immense size, of which 
canoes are made on the Fennee and Gomootee rivers. The 
wood is also serviceable for various other purposes, and is 
reckoned superior to almost every other sort, particularly 
when employed under water ; that being short, very ramous, 
and generally crooked. Secondly, here both male and female 
aments, and consequently the fruit, are long-peduncled; 
there very short. - Thirdly, here the fruit is a there 
of an — — shape.
