Branchlets and peduncles puberulous. Leaves 4-5 by 2-2 in., rather coriaceous, 

 nerves with minute tufts of hair in the axils ; petiole - in. ; stipules oblong. 

 Peduncles -! in., with a small 4-lobed cup of bracts below the middle, of which 2 

 opposite are larger than the others. Heads \-^ in. diam., in fruit f in. diam. I 

 have seen no authentic specimen of Junghuhnii, but find the name attached by 

 Maingay to his specimens. Miquel's description is most meagre. 



2. ANTHOCEPHALUS, A. Rich. 



A. glabrous tree. Leaves petioled ; stipules lanceolate, caducous. Flowers 

 in terminal globose ped uncled solitary heads, without bracteoles, united by 

 their confluent calyx-tubes ; peduncles with basal stipular bracts. Calyx-limb 

 tubular, 5-lobed, persistent or deciduous. Corolla-tube long, funnel-shaped, 

 throat glabrous; lobes 5, imbricate. Stamens on the throat of the corolla, 

 filaments short. Ovary 4-celled above, 2-celled below ; style exserted, stigma 

 spindle-shaped ; ovules very many, horizontal on 2 bifid placentas, which ascend 

 from the septa below its middle, and send an arm into each of the 4 upper 

 cells. Fruits confluent into a fleshy globose mass of many few-seeded coria- 

 ceous pyrenes. Seeds minute, testa rather thin; embryo clavate in fleshy 

 albumen.

 pubescent beneath. Heads 1-2 in. diam., peduncles stout. Flowers orange-coloured 

 with white stigmas, scented at night. Fruit as large as a small orange. Wallich's 

 6088 C. a cultivated plant from Ava, is very different, having membranous leaves and 

 very oblique nerves.

Shrubs or small trees. Leaves opposite or whorled ; stipules short. Flowers 

 densely crowded in terminal or axillary solitary simple or panicled globose

 4-5-toothed or -lobed. Corolla-tube long, funnel-shaped; throat glabrous or 

 hairy; lobes 4, imbricate. Stamens on the mouth of the corolla, filaments 

 short ; anthers 2-cuspidate at the base. Ovary 2-celled ; style filiform, stigma
