15 mm. long, 15 mm. wide at base, glabrescent or covered 

 with long black unicellular hairs. 



Oorolla wide-throated, 3-4-5-lobed, yellow; segments 

 broad, 18 mm. long, 10 mm. wide, apices recurved, apex 

 rounded or sub-acute. 



Staminodes 4, alternating with corolla segments, adnate 

 to corolla tube, short, hairy ; sometimes 1-12 in number, and 

 may possess fertile anthers. (See pi. IX., fig. 12.) 



Pistil globular-apiculate in bud, yellowish-green, and 

 covered with multicellular glands borne on many-celled 

 pedicels, forming a dense layer 1 mm. thick in bud ; styles 

 4, hairy ; stigmas lobed and undulated ; ovary 8-celled, loculi 

 in four pairs alternating with calyx segments, sometimes 6- 

 celled in pentamerous and trimerous flowers ; fruiting calyx 

 deeply 4-lobed, enlarged, strongly reflexed margin, woody, 

 hairy or glabrous ; fruit usually solitary, subsessile or 

 pedunculate, globular or ovoid, very large, 45 mm. high. The 

 remnants of the multicellular glands, many of which are dead 

 and changed to a brown or red colour, give the fruit a " rusty 

 mealy" appearance ; carpellary wall pulpy and rich in 

 gum and tannin (cf. D. crumenata : D. quaesita). (See 

 pi. IX., fig. 6.) 



Seeds 4-8 per fruit, large, 15 mm. wide, 8 mm. thick, 25 mm. 

 long; brown testa, elliptical-wedge shape; endosperm copious, 

 white, equable; embryo white, large. (See pi. XVIII., fig. 7.) 



Seedlings epigeal, cotyledons detached early in embryo and 

 measure 16 x 9 mm., pale yellow, never green or assimilatory; 

 hypocotyl 30-40 mm. long, yellow to green turning black ; 

 epicotyledonary system shows enhanced development ; 

 epicotyledonary stem 35-40 mm. long, 2 mm. diameter, red, 

 pubescent ; first epicotyledonary leaves form a subopposite 

 or opposite pair and persist alone for some time and carry 

 on the assimilatory work allotted to cotyledons ; traces 3 per 

 cotyledon, considerably split, continued into root. 



Timber usually white with occasional black strands ; sap- 

 wood always white when freshly felled, but on exposure 

 turns faintly brown ; black heartwood is very small even in
