3. Amoora Aphanamixis, Schultes fil. Syst. VII, 1621, Phan. I, 

 581. A tree 20 to 30 feet high ; young branches rusty puberulous, ul- 

 timately glabrous and (when dry) black. Leaves 15 to 25 in. long, 

 unequally pinnate ; leaflets 11 to 17, sub-coriaceous, oblong, oblong-ob- 

 ovate to elliptic, shortly and obtusely cuspidate ; the base rounded, very 

 unequal-sided ; glabrous when adult ; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, 

 slightly prominent beneath; length 4 to 6 or even 8 in., breadth 2 to 

 275 in. ; petiolules stout, '15 to '25 in. long. Panicles slightly supra^. 

 axillary, shorter than the leaves, puberulous, those with male flowers 

 with numerous short divaricating rather distantly •^ flowered racemes 

 branches. Flowers on very short pedicels, sub-globose, about '25 in, 

 in diam. Calyx cupular, with 5 rounded imbricate sepals, thickened 

 in the lower half and puberulous outside. Petals 3, thick, rotund, 

 concave, much larger than the sepals, glaberulous. Staniinal tube 

 shorter than the petals, fleshy, glabrous, ovoid, with a small entire 

 mouth ; anthers 6, elliptic, included. Ovary depressed, 3-celled, gla» 

 berulous ; stigma elongate, conical, fluted. Female flowers in rigid, un-

Under cultivation the leaves of this species often attain much 

 greater size than the measurements given above.
