the base cuneate; both surfaces pale (when dry), obscurely reticulate; main nerves 
14 to 18 pairs, spreading, straight, slender and very slightly prominent even when 
dry; length 4:5 to 9 in., breadth 1:25 to 2 in.; petiole -2 to ‘25 in. Flowers solitary, 
slightly supra-axillary; pedicels slender, decurved, minutely bracteolate, °35 in. (elongated 
to ‘75 in. in fruit). Sepals membranous, slightly nerved and reticulate, ovate, acuminate, 
spreading or recurved, puberulous outside, 2 in. long, persistent. Petals sub-coriaccous, 
greenish-yellow, puberulous; the outer narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, the bases thickened 
and not narrowed to a claw, ‘65 to °75 in. lony; inner petals about half as long, ovate, 
acuminate. Axthers numerous, half as long as the ovaries, compressed, their apices with 
a long thin point from a broad base. Ovaries about 20, narrowly cylindric, hairy 
like the stout straight style, 1- to 2-ovuled; stigma truncate. Ripe carpels narrowly 
obovoid to oblong, apiculate, gradually tapering. to the stalk, glabrous, -6 in. long. 
Seeds usually 1, rarely 2, oblong.

27. GOoNIOTHALAMUS UvARIOIDES, A?ing in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal 61, pt. 2, 78. A 
shrub 6 to 15 feet high; all parts glabrous except the flower and fruit; young branches 
pale. eaves thinly coriaceous, oblong, slightly obovate, slightly narrowed to the minutely 
cordate base; both surfaces rather dull when dry, the lower pale brown, the edges 
slightly recurved; main nerves 22 to 25 pairs, spreading, rather straight, inter-arching 
near the margin; length 1) to 15 in., breadth 3 to 6 in; petiole -4 in., stout, chan- 
nelled. Flowers on the trunk (solitary ?); pedicels curved, stout, °35 in. long. Sepals 
coriaceous, semi-orbicular, blunt, pubescent, 2 in. long. Pedals very coriaceous, yellow; 
the outer broadly lanceolate, thickened and truncate at the base, rufous-pubescent, 1°5 
in, long; inner petals like the outer, but with contracted bases and only 1 to 1:2 m. 
long. Anthers with conical apices. Ovaries hairy; style cylindric; stigma small, truncate, 
minutely bifid. Ripe carpels oblong, tapering to each end, puberulous, 1:5 in. long and 
65 in. in diam.; stalks ‘7 in. long. Seeds 4, compressed, rugose, ‘5 in. long.

Motley’s Bornean specimen above quoted is in flower only; but it so entirely 
resembles in leaves and wood those of my Collector in Perak, which are in fruit only, 
that I have ventured not only to consider them as belonging to the same species, but to 
draw up the above description of the flowers from the Bornean and of the fruit from 
the Perakian specimens. The species resembles G. fulvus in leaves and flower and G. 
malayanus in flower. The fruit is more like that of a Uvaria than of a Goniothalamus, 
having 4, sub-horizontal, rugose seeds.

There are in the Herbarium, Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta, specimens in young
