Cargillia macrocarpa, Vieill. Hb. 



Young parts shortly densely and softly pubescent. Branches dark, glabrescent. Leaves 

 oblong, acute or slightly acuminate at apex, somewhat narrowed at base into petiole, 

 alternate, coriaceous, dark-cinereous glabrous and shining above with slightly depressed 

 midrib, paler appressedly pubescent and sub-glabrescent beneath with duller veins; margins 

 more or less undulated ; 2 5 in. long (besides petiole ^ \ in. long) by f 1| in. wide. 



cJ. Cymes axillary, short, bearing about 35 subsessile flowers, about equalling the 

 petiole, softly pubescent, subferruginous ; common peduncle in bud about ^ in. long. Bracts 

 minute. Flower-bud ovoid, about in. long, scarcely exceeding the calyx. Calyx cam- 

 panulate, erect, 4-fid, with deltoid acute lobes; glabrous except near margin and shining 

 inside. ^Corolla 4-fid, with rounded or mucronate sinistrorsely imbricated lobes ; hairy 

 outside, glabrous inside. Stamens 16 in 8 pairs, the pairs arranged in one row ; filaments 

 short, dilated and united in pairs at the base and (in young state) almost forming a short 

 tube at base of corolla, densely setose-pilose especially the outer ones; anthers lanceolate- 

 linear apiculate comparatively glabrous, but the outer ones surrounded by the dense long 

 hairs of the filaments. Ovary rudimentary, small, pubescent, surmounted by 2 styles. 



9 . Fruit solitary, subsessile, ovoid, glabrate, about 1 in. high by 1 in. thick or more, 

 apparently 4-celled, fleshy, with rather thin pericarp. Bracts caducous. Fruiting calyx flat, 

 4-fid. f | in. across, shortly sub-pubescent outside, pubescent inside ; lobes widely ovate, 

 obtuse or mucronate. Seed rather more than 1 in. long, oblong, albumen not ruminated.
