DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW AND RARE INDIAN PLANTS. 137 
the base rounded or nar:owed; upper surface shining; lower slightly dull, pale and 
rather minutely reticulate; the main nerves 8 to 13 pairs, prominent, forming arches 
2 т. within the edge; length 6 t» 12 in., breadth 2:25 to 4°5 in., petiole '3 to '6 
in. Flowers "95 in. long, their pedicels shorter than the calyx, in terminal or axillary 
racemes or small panicles less than a third of the length of tho leaves, Sepals broadly 
ovate, blunt, puberulous. Petals with an oblong or rotund concave obtuse limb, puberu- 
lous in the upper, pubescent in the lower half, and with a long claw. Filaments 
epipetalous, flat, pubescent. Ovary on a glabrous stalk, densely villous, 4-ovuled, the 
dise glabrous. Fruit globose, *75 to 1 in. in diam.; when young seriecous, when 
ripe quite glabrous and boldly verrucose.

This is not unlike X afine, Korth., but is distinguished from that species by its sericeous ovary 
and deeply warted fruit. In its fruit this resembles X. Patembanicum and Р. eurynenum; but it differs 
from both in its much larger and more numerously veined leaves.

PLATE 162. 
XawTHOPHYLLUM KuwsrLERL, King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1890, pt. 2, p. 139. 
A glabrous tree 50 to 80 feet high; the branchlets robust, dark brown, sub-glaucous. 
Leaves large, coriaceous (with a yellowish green tinge when dry) elliptic to elliptic-oblong, 
the apex very shortly and rather suddenly acuminate, the edges (when dry) undulate, the 
base rounded or slightly narrowed to the stout petiole ; both surfaces shining; main nerves 
sub-horizontal, 8 to 12 pairs, prominent beneath as are the secondary nerves and reticula- 
tions; length 4-5 to 11 in., breadth 2:25 to 5:25 in., petiole *6 to “75 Flew:rs “б in. long, 
shortly pedicellate, in axillary racemes less than half as long as, or in terminal few- 
branched spreading panicles, longer than the leaves. Sepals slightly unequal, ovate-rotund, 
fleshy, thickened along the midrib, minutely tomentose on both surfaces; the edges thin, 
ciliolate. Petuls oblong-obtuse, glabrous except the pubescent sagittate concave keel. Fila- 
ments with a pubescent ovoid swelling above the base, attached to the base of the petals. 
Anthers bearded at the base. Ovary almost sessile, surrounded by a shallow wavy fleshy 
dise, ovoid, grooved, tomentose, 4-ovulate; style conical, slightly curved, pubescent. 
Fruit globose, “65 in. in diam. (young), deciduously tomentose; pericarp thick, spongy, the 
calyx persistent.

Curtis, No. 1550. 
The stamens of this are united to the base of the petals in an unequal way, three being attached to 
the odd petal, one to two of the lateral petals, while two petals have no stamens attached to them.
