 midribs, and main nerves underneath; otherwise glabrous; leaves shortly petiolate, coriaceous, entire, smocth 

 when adult, broadly ovate to ovate-elliptic, rarely obovate, slightly narrowed to the base, the apex 

 sub-acute, main nerves and midrib strong, prominent on the under surface ; length of blade 6 to 9 in. ; 

 breadth 4 to 6 in. ; petiole under 1 in. ; stipules lanceolate, nearly 1 in. long. Receptacles axillary, 

 peduuculate ; tlie males pendulous, the females erect ; males narrowly cylindric, from 4 to 6 in. long 

 and only about '25 in. in diameter ; male flowers minute, the perianth of two pieces, united into a tube 

 below ; anther exserted, ovate, the cells not divergent ; receptacular scales chaffy, not peltate ; female 

 receptacle ovoid, ahout 4*5 in. long and 3*5 in. in diameter, echinate ; the spines (free apices of antho- 

 carps) about '25 in. long, cylindric, straight, strongly hispid, perforate at the apex for the filiform style ; 

 seeds ovoid, '65 in. long ; core woody.
