In many respects this resembles G. imtens, Bl., but it has larger 

 flowers and much less pyriform fruit. The staminal tube of this is 

 moreover only slightly toothed at the apex, whereas that of G. patens has 

 6 long lanceolate teeth. 



13. Chisocheton patens, Blume, Bijdr. 169. A tree 20 to 40 feet 

 high. Leaves with the petiole and racliis almost glabrous, 1 to 3 feet 

 long ; leaflets 10 to 13 pairs, opposite or sub-opposite, thinly coriaceous, 

 oblong- lanceolate, rarely oblong-elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base 

 narroAved and unequal sided ; both surfaces glabrous, reticulate, the 

 lower pale and with the 10 to 14 pairs of curved spreading nerves and 

 also the reticulations prominent ; length 4 to 7 in., breadth 1 to 2"5 in., 

 petiolule '15 to "4 in. Male panicles about as long as the leaves (the 

 female shorter), supra-axillary, pendulous, glabrous, with numerous di- 

 vergent branches the lower of which are compound, the middle spike-like, 

 and the uppermost short and cymose. Flowers '35 in. long, on short rather 

 stout pedicels. Galyx cupular, puberulous outside ; the mouth entire, 

 truncate or wavy. Petals 4, three or four times as long as the calyx, 

 sub-spathulate elliptic, glabrous, longer than and quite free from the 

 staminal-tube. Staminal tube free from the petals, cylindric, ex- 

 panding slightly upwards, pubescent near the mouth, otherwise glabrous 

 outside, pubescent inside, the mouth with 6 long lanceolate teeth which 

 are slightly sliorter than the 6 linear elongate anthers. Ovary very 

 small, surrounded by a notched fleshy glabrous disc ; style cylindric, 

 pubescent ; stigma cylindric, glabrous. Fruit pyriform, attenuated 

 below into a thick pseudo-stalk, glabrous ; length 2'25 in. of which the
