The cymes are really terminal on short axillary shoots, but they 
appear to be borne laterally on the stalks of the large leaf-like bracts. 
The trwe leaves are 7-10 cm. long and 3-6 cm. broad, with petioles 
up to 2:5 cm. long. Stipular band barely exceeding 1 mm. in width ; 
apiculus about the same length. The bracts are 14-17 cm. long and 
9-11 em. broad, with stalk 2:5 em. or more long. The cymes, at 
most 1°5 cm. long, are borne, on peduncles 2-3 em. long, terminally 
on lateral shoots about 1 cm. in length. Calyx less than 1 mm. long; 
corolla-tube 9 mm. long, 4 mm. wide above; lobes over 2 mm. long 
and 3 mm. broad at the base. Anthers 8 mm.; style and stigma 
5 mm, long. Fruit 3 cm. long, including the persistent disc, 3-4 mm. 
long, and 1 em. in diameter.
