rufous clavate glands mixed witli flocci of greasy hairs ; 

 older bi-anches with vestiges of these. Foliage buds and 

 3^oung leaves unknown. Leaves petiolate as much as 14 cm. 

 long ; lamina papyraceous broadly lanceolate rarely (if small) 

 somewhat oblanceolate as much as 12 cm. long and 5 cm. 

 broad always narrowed to both ends, apex acute with a 

 horny blunt mucro, margin cartilaginous flat obscurely 

 undulate and roughened (hardly notched) by the persistent 

 bases of juvenile greasy hairs, occasicmally some hairs 

 persist, base obtuse ; upper surface opaque bronze-green 

 midrib and primary veins (about 18 pairs) slightly sulcate 

 elsewhere the irregular network of the ultimate veins 

 shows clearly in the dried leaf (I expect invisible in the 

 fresh) whole surface apparently glabrous but slight vestiges 

 of juvenile hairs are present; under surface mat fawn- 

 coloured midrib prominent straw-coloured (as are the 

 primary veins only less prominently so) more or less 

 sprinkled with withered and withering floccose hairs and 

 also with orange-coloured bases of fallen flocks and glands, 

 such bases are abundant over the rest of the surface but 

 do not show up markedly as distinct punctulations, the 

 epidermal cells form low dome-shaped papillae, the fawn 

 colour of the whole under surface is due to the coloration 

 of the reticulate venation ; petiole as much as 2 cm. long 

 stout grooved above, marked by scars of fallen glands and 

 hairs which may sporadically persist. Flowers about 12 

 in a terminal racemose-umbel with verj^ short red brown 

 floccose rhachis not 1cm. long; bracts unknown; brac- 

 teoles about 1 mm. long very narrowly linear reddish 

 sericeo-pilose ; pedicels as much as 1-8 cm. long pale brown 

 fairl}^ densely coated with a mixture of floccose and simple 

 sebaceous hairs and a few clavate glands. Calyx minute 

 cupular fleshy clavate-glandular floccoscly and greasily 

 pilose outside, about 1*5 mm. long ; lobes more or less deltoid. 

 Corolla tubular-campanulate 5-G-lobcd, bright rose-magenta 

 with a posterior basal black-crimson blotch and a few like- 

 coloured spots about 4'5 cm. long exceeding androecium and 

 gynaeceum, glabrous outside pubcrulous inside ; lobes about 

 2 cm. long and 25 cm. broad rounded emarginate somewhat 

 crenulate. Stainens 10-12 unequal, longest some 8-3 cm. 

 long shortest 2-8 cm.; anthers about 8 mm. long purple;
