4 of them smaller than the other 4 ; anthers linear-lanceolate, apicu- 

 late, the filaments flat, very short ; rudimentary ovary small, narrowly 

 ovate, glabrous. Female floivers like the 3^ and often mixed with 

 them, but sometimes solitary. Ovary broadly ovoid, with short style, 

 glabrous. Fr^cit ellipsoid, 1 in. long and -75 in. in diam., glabrous, 

 crowned by the short remains of the style, and subtended by the 

 calyx with 4 spreading, undulate, sub-glabrous lobes. D. flavicans,

6. DiosPYKOS ScoBTECHiNii, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree 15 to 

 30 or even 50 feet high ; young branches as thick as a crow-quill, 

 tawny-puberulous, angled, pale when dry. Leaves alternate, small, 

 membranous ; narrowly elliptic-oblong, acuminate, much narrowed at 

 the base to the short petiole ; both surfaces olivaceous-brown when 

 dry, the upper glabrous, the lower often puberulous, especially on 

 the midrib; main-nerves 8 to 12 pairs, spreading, curved, ascending, 

 somewhat distinct on the lower surface, faint on the upper as are the 

 transverse reticulations ; length 2 to 4 in., breadth -6 to 1-25 in. ; 

 petiole '1 to "15 in. Male flowers -6 in. long, in shortly pedunculate 

 axillary fascicles of 2 or 3, or solitary and pedicellate. Calyx -1 in. 

 long, tomentose outside, glabrous inside, -1 in. long, campanulate, 

 deeply divided into 4 broad almost truncate lobes. Corolla coriaceous, 

 •3 in. long, glabrous ; tube tapering a little to the apex ; lobes 4, oblong, 

 sub-acute, spreading. Stamens 8 ; anthers shortly lanceolate, as long 

 as the filaments. Female flowers longer than the ^ , solitary, the 

 pedicel as long as the calyx, tomentose. Ovary ellipsoid, densely 

 pilose ; style short, conic ; stigmas small, glabrous. Fruit ellipsoid, 

 crowned by the very short style, puberulous. Calyx at its base
