connate, pilose outside, reflexed. Petals red, larger than the sepals, broadly ovate, 
acute; outside tomentose with stiff hairs intermixed, inside sub-glabrous; anthers ‘15 in. 
long, sub-sessile, the connective at the apex often slightly produced and obtuse. 
Ovarves 4-angled, truncate, rufous-tomentose, shorter than the anthers. Ripe carpels 
numerous, stalked, cylindric, blunt, 1°5 to 2 in. long, covered (as are the stalks and 
torus) with dense darkly ferruginous tomentum mixed with stiff hairs; stalks 1 to

There is some difference amongst individuals as to the breadth of the leaves, and on 
one of the forms with comparatively short but broad leaves Blume founded his species

12, Uvaria Curtisu, King in Journ, As, Soc. Bengal 61, pt. 2, 19. A large climber; 
young branches densely rusty-tomentose, slender. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, sometimes 
slightly oblanceolate, acuminate, slightly narrowed to the rounded base; upper surface
