2. ANAXAGOREA ScorTEcHINI, King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal 61, pt. 2, 68. A bush 
or small tree; all parts, except the flower, glabrous; the young branches sub-rugulose, 
2-ridged. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong or elliptic-obovate, shortly and abruptly 
acuminate, slightly narrowed to the rounded or sub-acute base; main nerves 7 to 9 
pairs, rather prominent beneath; the reticulations open and distinct; length 6 to 8 in., 
breadth 2°5 to 3°5 in.; petiole *3 to *4 in. Flowers *75 in. long, solitary; pedicels °3 in, 
(much longer in fruit) with 1 or 2 amplexicaul bracteoles. Sepals membranous, their 
edges thin, broadly ovate, acute, pubescent outside. Pedals in a single row, much larger 
than the sepals, oblong-lanceolate, sub-acute, scurfy-pubescent outside, glabrous within, 
very fleshy,’ slightly concave at the base. Stamens numerous, those next the pistils 
barren, elongate and bent over the pistils. Ovaries numerous, obovoid, pubescent; 
styles curved. ollicles as in A. luzonensis, but two or three times as numerous. Seeds 
obovoid, concavo-convex, compressed, black, shining

I have altered the diagnosis of this genus as regards the petals to admit this species 
in which the inner whorl of petals is absent. In other respects the species agrees perfectly 
with the original generic diagnosis. Teysmann and Binnindyk’s mono-specifie genus 
Rhopalocarpus (Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. wu. 22, t. 2, fig. B) is an unmistakable 
Anaxagorea in which the inner petals are narrow and incurved. It is probably near 
A. luzonensis, A. Gray, and A. javanica, BI. (See Benth. and Hook. fil. Gen. Plant.

Trees or shrubs. Sepals 2, large, concave, valvate. Petals 4, narrowly linear- 
spathulate, incurved, inserted remotely from each other on the margin of the very broad, 
sub-concave torus. Stamens numerous; the apical process of the connective broadly 
orbicular, sub-convex. Piséi/s 10 to 15 or numerous, ovoid; style short, terete; stigma
