from U. duicis by the stellate (not simple) hairs on the upper surface of its leaves. 
But, as Hook. fil. and Th. point out (£2. Ind. 98), both kinds of hairs occur on the 
same leaf. In all the specimens named U. juvana, received from the Dutch botanists, 
the leaves are much smaller and less densely woolly on the lower surface than those 
collected in the Malay Peninsula. Miquel suggests that U. aurila, Bl, is only a form 
of this. By neither figuring nor describing the fruit of splint he understood as 
U, dulcis, aurita and javana, Blume neglected one of the best characters in this rather 
perplexing genus; and it may be that when fruit of the small-leaved Java species issued 
from the Herbarium of Buitenzorg shall be forthcoming, the reductions above made 
will have to be cancelled.

_ 6. Uvaria Lossrana, H. f. & TZ. Fl. Ind. 100. A powerful climber, often reaching 
100 to 150 feet in length; young branches pubescent, ultimately glabrous and dark-

acuminate, rarely obtuse, narrowed to the rounded or sub-cordate base; both surfaces 
when very young stellate-furfuraceous, speedily becoming glabrous except the puberulous 
midrib; the upper (when dry) pale green, the lower brown; main nerves 13 to 16 
pairs, curving slightly, spreading below, sub-erect above, thin but prominent beneath; 
length of blade 4 to 7 in., breadth 1°5 to 2°25 im.; petiole *25 in. Peduncles only +25 in. 
long or even less, t Eee inet or leaf-opposed, 2- or 3-flowered, tomentose, each flower 
with a large, rotund, amplexicaul bract; buds depressed-globose, tomentose; flower 1 to 
1:2 in. in diam. Sepa/s conjoined into a wavy cup, tomentose outside, minutely pubescent 
inside. Petais coriaceous, often 7 or 8, slightly unequal, broadly oval, obovate, blunt; 
slightly warted on both surfaces, minutely tomentose on the outer, pubescent on the 
inner. Anthers sessile, flattened, ‘1 im. long, the connectives produced at the apices, 
compressed, obliquely truncate, the outer row sterile. Ovaries 4-angled, pubescent except 
the truncate lobulate stigma. Ripe carpels numerous, stalked, slebulae or globular-ovoid, 
slightly oblique, boldly tubercled, pubescent, ‘5 to ‘75 in. in diam., and sometimes 1 in.
