Blume describes the carpels as from 3 to 5 ; but I have never found 

 more than two, and it is difficult to understand how more can come to 

 perfection on the comparatively small toi'us. In Java this is said often 

 to be a bush from 6 to 8 feet high : in Perak it is a tall tx'ee. 



2. Cyathocalyx Maingayi, Hook. fil. and Thorns. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 

 53. A tree 50 or 60 feet high : young branches leather stout, puberu- 

 lous, speedily glabrous and dark-coloured. Leaves elliptic to oblong, 

 thinly coriaceous, slightly obovate, shortly caudate-acuminate, the base 

 rounded or slightly cuueate ; upper sui'face shining, quite glabrous ; 

 the lower puberulous when young, ultimately glabrous ; the main nerves 

 13 to 15 pairs, bold and prominent, spreading, interarching near the 

 edge: length 5"8 to 88 in., breadth 275 to 3'75 in., petiole '3 in. 

 Flowers 2 to 3 in. in diam., solitary or in short, 2- to 3-flowered racemes, 

 axillary or extra-axillary : pedicels "5 to "75 in. long with a large steni- 

 clasping bracteole near the apex. Sepals spreading or sub-reflexed, 

 ovate, sub-acute, slightly connate at the base, puberulous on both sur- 

 faces, "4 in. long. Petals thinly coriaceous, subequal, puberulous, obo- 

 vate or broadly obovate- lanceolate, blunt, the base with a short claw, 

 pale greenish with a blotch of reddish yellow at the base, all (but 

 especially the inner row) more or less convex, the inner row slightly 

 concave and glabrous at the base inside. Stamens numerous, cuneate, 

 short ; the connective produced into a broad, flat, orbicular, oblique expan- 

 sion which over-hangs the dorsal linear anthers. Ovaries 3, narrowly 

 ovoid, pubescent, ovules about 10 in 2 rows : style short, lateral : stigma 

 large, lobed, villous. Rijie carpels 1 or 2, globular, 15 to 175 in. in diam.,
