 eglandular rounded, beneath of a dark yellow -brown colour, triple-nerved and with 

 6-8 pair of slender nerves above the basal, cross-nervules very faint ; petiole 1-3 in., 

 very slender ; stipules lanceolate. Ma le panicles shorter than the petioles ; branches 

 short ; bracts at the axils obtuse, hoary, floral concave glabrous ; flowers -^ in. diam. ; 

 sepals broad; anthers 4-locellate. Capsule ^ in. diam., yellow from the glands. 

 Seeds globose, rough. Kurz describes the cocci as sparingly and minutely 

 tubercled.

 Hervey. DISTEIB. Java. 



Branches stout, woody, terete, black, sparsely pubescent towards the tips which 

 and the youngest leaves are red with scurfy stellate pubescence. Leaves 5-7 by 1- 

 3 in., coriaceous, above smooth biglandular and minutely cordate with incurved 

 margins at the very base, beneath red -brown with 6-7 pair of very strong nerves 

 above the bases, and close strong cross-nerves, glands pitted; petiole 1-2J in.; 

 stipules variable, linear or lanceolate from a broad base. Male panicles 6-8 in., 

 rachis and branches slender ; floral bracts very broad, \ in. long ; flowers -fa in. diam. ; 

 sepals orbicular, concave. Fern, panicles as long but less branched than the male ; 

 bracts shorter ; calyx 4-lobed ; styles fleshy. Capsule \-\ in. diam., black when dry. 

 Seeds -j in. diam., globose, nearly smooth, black. Mueller describes the capsule of 

 the Javan plant as covered with soft green prickles. The bracts of the Peninsular 

 specimen are larger than in the Javan. 



Series II. Malefl. in branched panicles, fern, subcapitateon a stout short 

 peduncle. Ovary 3-5-celled. styles united below into a short often thickened 

 crown to the ovary. Leaves peltate and often lobed. The species are 

 all very imperfectly known. (See also M. trichocarpa.}

 membranous broadly peltate palmatinerved 5-lobed eglandular beneath, 

 base rounded and sinuately angled, lobes ovate-lanceolate acuminate sinuate- 

 toothed midlobe much the longest, fruiting racemes very short shortly 

 and very stoutly ped uncled, capsules large depressed slightly 4-5-lcbed 

 hoary, stigmas 4-5 slender erect combined at the base.
