the inflorescence. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic (rarely elliptic-oblong), abruptly and shortly 
acuminate, the base cuneate, rarely rounded; both surfaces shining, glabrous, the midrib 
and some of the nerves puberulous on the under-surface when very young; the reticu- 
lations minute, distinct; main nerves 9 to 12 pairs, oblique, inter-arching close to the 
edge, prominent on the under, slightly impressed on the upper, surface; length of blade 
6 to 9 in., breadth 3 to 4°5 in.; petiole ‘4 in. Flowers pedicellate, usually solitary, 
sometimes 2 or 3 together, extra-axillary; pedicels about *5 in. long, ebracteolate, 
densely and minutely yellowish-pubescent. Calyx *5 to *6 in. long, densely pubescent 
like the pedicels and petals, deeply divided into 3 oblong-lanceolate reflexed lobes. Petals 
as in C. zeylanicus; the 3 inner rather shorter and narrower, Fruit solitary, elliptic- 
oblong, blunt, torulose, transversely grooved, glabrous, 2°5 in. long; pericarp thick, 
fleshy. Seeds about 10, in two rows, large, oval, flat, shining, *9 in. long and ‘7 in, 
broad. Kurz For. Fl. Burm. 1. 30.

This differs from @€, geylanicus chiefly by its deeply 3-cleft calyx and rather 
differently shaped fruit. Its leaves, too, are rather broader. But the two species come 
very near together.

40 to 60 feet high; young branches slender, pale, glabrous, the tips alone pubescent. 
Leaves membranous, elliptic-oblong to oblong-lanceolate, shortly and obtusely acuminate, 
the base cuneate or sometimes rounded ; both surfaces shining, the lower rather darker 
when dry; the upper glabrous, the lower pubescent on the 8 or 9 pairs of sub-ascending, 
rather prominent, nerves; length 4 to 6°5 in., breadth 1:25 to 2°75 in.; petiole °25 to 
‘35 in., pubescent. lowers in axillary sub-sessile fascicles of 2 or 8, about °75 in. long. 
Sepals united at the base, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, spreading, tomentose, shorter than 
the inner petals. Petals tomentose-sericeous ; the outer row much longer than the inner, 
lanceolate, much acuminate, about *75 in. long; inner row with orbicular concave base 
and much acuminate apex, *5 in. long. Connective of stamens slightly produced at apex, 
and obliquely truncate. Ovaries 4 to 6, hirsute; ovuies many, 2-seriate; stigma thick; 
discoid, sessile. Torus conic, truncate, pubescent. Ripe carpels solitary or in pairs and 
divergent, oblong-ovoid, blunt at each end, minutely tomentose, 2 to 8 in. long and 
1 to 15 in. in diam.; pericarp thick. Seeds 8 to 10, compressed, elongate and narrowly 
sub-reniform, transversely sub-striate. Unona virgata, Blume. Bijdr. 14; Fl. Jave Anon.

Blume describes the carpels as from 38 to 5; but I have never found more than 
two, and it is difficult to understand how more can come to perfection on the com- 
paratively small torus. In Jaya this is said often to be a bush from 6 to 8 feet high: 
in Perak it is a tall tree.
