8 ANONACEJE. UVARIA, 
in pulpy or with spurious horizontal dissepiments (formed by the hardening 
of a pulp). Seeds several in each carpel, horizontal, without an arillus.— 
Trees or shrubs. Stems erect or climbing. Peduncles 1-flowered, solitary or 
several together, arising from short leafy or leafless shoots of frequently for- 
mer years’ growth. 
24. (1) U. tomentosa (Roxb.:) a tree: leaves oblong, acute, pubescent on 
both sides: flower-bearing shoots usually leafy, 1-2-flowered ; peduncles 
opposite to the leaves and half as long, slender, solitary, very pubescent: 
calycine lobes triangular, acute : three exterior petals minute, linear-subulate ; 
three interior oblong: carpels 10-15, ovoid, on stalks their own length: seeds 
about 4, separated by a pulp.—Roab. Cor. 1. t. 35; fl. Ind. 2. p. 607 ; DC. 
prod. 1. p. 88 ; Spr. syst. 2. p. 659 ; Wall. ! L. n. 6472 ; Wight! cat. n. 29. 
Our specimens are only slightly pubescent, not tomentose ; the flower- 
‘shoots also happen to be without leaves, presenting the appearance of one 
long lateral jointed peduncle. 
* 25. (2) U.odorata (Lam.:) a tree: leaves oblong-lanceolate, acuminated, 
labrous; margins slightly waved: flower-bearing shoots axillary, slightly 
leafy; stout; peduncles about three, corymbosely placed at the top of the 
shoot, slender, drooping: calycine lobes ovate-rounded : petals equal, linear- 
lanceolate: carpels 9-12, ovoid, glabrous, on long stalks: seeds 6-12, flatten- 
ed, pitted, separated by the greenish pulp.—Lam. ill. t. 495. f. 1; Rozb. f

.. The inflorescence is sometimes described thus : peduncle axillary, 3-flower- 
ed, at length slightly leafy, with pedicels somewhat corymbose, which arises 
from different names being given to the same parts. n 
. 26. (3) U. lutea (Roxb.:) a tree: leaves shortly petioled, oblong or ovate, 
coriaceous, glabrous, shining above, veins prominently reticulated beneath: 
flower-bearing shoots opposite to the leaves, leafless, exceedingly short, 1-6 
flowered ; peduncles short, terminal: calycine lobes ovate, small : petals about 
equal, oblong, obtuse, much longer than the calyx : carpels 4-6, ovoid, pu- 
bescent, stellately placed on very short stalks round the torus: seeds 3-6, 
‘separated by pulp.—«; leaves elliptic-oblong.—U. lutea, Rowb. Cor. 1. t. 365

Our second variety is certainly the plant of Vahl and of Wallich ; Rox- 
burgh's figure and description, ‘however, has the leaves more elliptical, an 
not acuminated, and agrees pretty well with our « In our specimens of 
both, the seeds oceupy the whole breadth of the fruit ; and not, as Roxburgh 
figures them, only half the breadth. The flower-shoot might almost be called 
a peduncle, bearing 1-6 pedicels. gn » 
* 27. (4) U. Heyneana (Wall.:) leaves almost sessile, oblong-lanceolate, — 
somewhat acute at the base, coriaceous, glabrous, shining above, veins not 
prominent beneath : flower-bearing shoots lateral, leafy ; peduncles terminal, 
solitary : calycine lobes oblong, nearly the length of the corolla: petals ob- - 
long; obtuse, equal: carpels nearly globose, very shortly stalked, pubescent: - 
seeds about 4, shining, separated by pulp, middle ones opposite and only 
half the breadth of the fruit.— Wall, ! L. n. 6463; Wight ! cat. n. 31.—Guat- 
teria montana, DC. prod. 1. p. 94 ; Spr. syst. 2. p. 635.—G. Malabarica, Dun. 
—Hheed. Mal. 5. t. 17. ; 
There is a specimen, apparently of this species, in the herbarium of the - 
younger Linneus, unnamed, from Thunberg, and gathered in Java. In 
Rheede, the calyx is represented too short, but the figure otherwise accords.
