glabrous, broadly oblong, very concave, the apex much thickened and 

 deeply inflexed and the sides partly inflexed to form a kind of hood. 

 Stamens 6 ; the filaments much shorter than the oblono- anthers, 

 lanceolate, dilated at the base and inserted outside the quadi'ate lobes 

 of the thin ring-like disc. Ovartj ovoid-globose, glabrous, tapering into 

 the short thick style : stigma discoid. Ripe drupes obliquely ovoid, flat- 

 tened on one side, glabrous, ]25 to 1*5 in. long, and about '7o in. in 

 diam ; peduncle slender, "5 to 1 in. long, scar of stigma terminal.

6. Santiria laevigata, Blume Mus. Bot. I, 211. A tree 50 to JOO 

 feet high: young branches dark-coloured, lenticellate, glabrous. Leaves 

 9 to 17 in. long, glabrous; the rachises flattened below the lowest 

 leaflet and channelled at the base. Leaflets coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to 

 oblong, shortly acuminate ; the base usually rounded or sub-cordate, but 

 sometimes narrowed and sub-oblique : both surfaces reticulate, the lower 

 brown when dry : main nerves 11 to 17 pairs, sub-horizontal, slightly pro- 

 minent on the lower surface ; length 45 to 9 in , breadth 15 to 2-8 in., 

 petiolules about '5 in. Panicles shorter than the leaves, axillary or 

 slightly supra-axillary, solitary, 6 to 8 in. long (including the rather 

 long peduncles), spreading; the branches ascending, puberulous near 

 the apices where the flowers are crowded in conical ebracteolate cymes. 

 Flowers less than "1 in. long, shorter than the pedicels. Calyx cupular, 

 the mouth almost entire or waved, minutely tomeiitose outside. Petals 

 deltoid-rotund, the apex inflexed, valvate, glabrous. Stamens 6 ; anthers 

 ovate, about as long as the filaments which are inserted by dilated 

 bases outside the ring- like disc: rudimentary ovary small, ovoid. Female 

 flowers not seen. Ripe drupes "6 in. long, glabrous, broadly ovoid, blunt 

 flattened on one side, the remains of the stigma near the apex of the 

 flattened side, peduncle '5 in. long. A. W. Benn. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br.

The leaves of this vary a good deal as to the number of the 

 main nerves and as to the shape of the base, some having broad and even 

 sub-cordate while others have cuneate bases. 



7. Santiria OBLONGiFor-iA, Blume in Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. I, 211. 

 A tree 50 to 80 feet high : young branches pale, lenticellate, at first 

 scurfy, afterwards glabrous. Leaves 12 to 18 in. long; their rachises 

 terete, not winged at the base but slightly flattened, glabrous, the sti- 

 pules (if any) deciduous. Leaflets 7 to 9 in., thinly coriaceous, oblong,
