Leaves at most 18-20 x 6-7 cm., sometimes 12-14 x 4-5 cm., 

 greyish-green when dry below, brownish above ; lateral nerves about 

 8 on each side of the midrib, with numerous interposed nerves of 

 lower order all, together with the reticulum, prominent on both sides ; 

 petioles about 1 cm. long. Panicles at most 15 cm. long and 9 cm. 

 broad, the pedmicle frequently 3-5 cm. long, the branches anfrac- 

 tuose and usually 2-4 cm. long. Bracts subfugacious, lanceolate, 

 minutely tawny-tomentose, 4 mm. long. Pedicels 2-6 (or even 7) mm. 

 in length. Perianth green, 3 mm. long, of which 2 mm. belong to 

 the tube; lobes 1 mm. long, 1*3 mm. broad. Stamens of the two 

 outer whorls 1 mm. broad and rather more than that in length ; 

 extrorse stamens 1'5 mm. long, with filaments 1 mm. wide and 

 somewhat broader anthers, the pale green glands nearly -5 mm. in 

 diameter. Staminocles difficult to find among the hairs of the inner 

 side of the perianth, less than 1 mm. long. Ovary broadly ovoid, 

 1 mm. long. Style half as long again as the ovary, swollen in its 

 lower part. 



Near T. longipes Stapf, which has smaller leaves, a glabrous 

 perianth, different stamens and staminodes and ovary as long as 

 the style.
