and outside of sepals minutely tomentoso. Flowers '35 iri. in diam., their 

 pedicels 2 to 3 in. long ; buds sub-globose, obtusely pointed. Sepals 

 ovate-lanceolate, pubescent inside especially towards the base, the mid- 

 rib thickened. Petals longer than the sepals, cuneiform, lobed and cut 

 irregularly half-way into about 25 slightly unequal fimbriae, veined, 

 glabrous, the edges villous. Torus of 5 distinct, fleshy, sub-globose, 

 puberulous, transversely oblong, truncate, 2-grooved glands. Stamens 

 25, about half as long as the petals : filaments about half the length of 

 the scaberulous anthers ; cells unequal, the longer with (but sometimes 

 •without) an apical tuft of 4 or 5 stiff white hairs. Ovary ovoid-globose, 

 vertically 5-furrowed, tomentose, 5-celled. Style twice as long as the 

 ovary, conic-cylindric, pubescent at the thickened base, glabrescent 

 above. Fruit globose, smooth ; '8 to 1 in. in diam. ; pulp thin : stone 

 very hard, thick, 1-seeded. Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat, i. pt. 2, p. 209 ; Mast,

8 to 10 pairs, and the under surface is only softly pubescent, not tomen- 

 tose : length 5-6 to 7-5 in., breadth 2'25 to 3-25 in. Floiver pedicels 

 longer than in E. stipularis, and the flowei'S the same, except that the

This is one of the few plants to which the lamented Father Scor-

 ovary and smooth oval fruit it agrees with E. stipularis, Bl.
