ANONACEX OF BRITISH INDIA. 59 
surface shining, the lower glaucous; main nerves 12 to 16 pairs, oblique, rather pro- 
minent beneath; length 6-5 to 11.im., breadth 1:75 to 3°25 in.; petiole “4 in. Flowers 
solitary, pedunculate, axillary, pendulous, 3-5 to 6 in. long; the peduncles minutely 
bracteolate and jointed near the base, slender, from 1°25 to 8 in. long, still longer 
in fruit. Sepals very small, broadly triangular, spreading, mucronate, rufous-pubescent 
externally. Pefals linear-lanceolate, much acuminate, cohering by their margins; the base 
slightly expanded, no constriction between the limb and claw, adpressed-sericeous when 
young, but afterwards glabrous, yellowish; the inner row absent. Stamens with the 
connective produced and truncate at the apex. Ovaries 10 to 20, sessile, hairy; ovules 
few; stigmas large, recurved. Ripe carpels about 10, stalked, moniliform, 3- to 4-jointed; 
all the joints, except the lowest, often falling off; individual joints elongated-ovoid, °5 in. 
long, glabrous. Seeds with thin smooth testa; the albumen _ intersected by numerous 
horizontal fibrous processes. Wall. Cat. 6419; Hook. Jil. § Th. Kl. Ind. 134; Hook. fil.

Perak; in forests under 3,000 feet. E. Himalaya; Assam; Khasia Hills; Chittagong. 
Most of the specimens which I have seen from Assam, the Khasia Hills, and Chitta- 
gong have flower-pedicels under 2 inches long, and petals quite 6 inches long. Specimens 
from Perak, on the other hand, have shorter flowers (3 to 4 in. long) and much longer 
(5 or 6 in.) and more slender peduncles; otherwise the two sets agree. In many of 
the flowers from both sets of localities there are only two petals.

size; 3, anther; 4 & 5, ovaries; 6 & 7, sections of seed—enlarged. 
13. Unona Dasymascuana, Blume Fl. Jav. Anon. 55, t. 27. An erect or sarmentose 
shrub; young branches sometimes glabrous from the beginning, but usually at first softly 
rufous-pubescent and sometimes permanently so. eaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, 
oblong, or oblong-lanceolate or oblanceolate, acute or shortly acuminate, the base rounded 
or narrowed; upper surface glabrous; the lower sub-glaucous, glabrous, or sometimes 
puberulous on the midrib and nerves; length 4:5 to 85 in., breadth 1:5 to 3 in, 
petiole about -1 in. lowers pedunculate, solitary, axillary, pendulous, 1°5 to 3 in. long; 
peduncles 1:25 to 1:75 in. (longer in fruit), minutely bracteolate at the very base. 
Sepals fleshy, very short, broadly triangular, pubescent, reflexed. Petals fleshy, varying 
from ovate-acute to lanceolate-acuminate, concave and (in the narrower forms) expanded 
at the base, with a constriction between the claw and limb; the edges united when 
young, adpressed-puberulous, but ultimately glabrous. Anthers with the connective 
expanded at the apex and oblique. Ovaries densely villous; the stigma narrow, glabrous. 
Ripe carpels numerous, shortly stalked, moniliform, pubescent to glabrous; the joints oval, 
about ‘35 in. long. Seeds oval, smooth; the albumen with fibrous processes. A. DC. Mem.
