1. OropHea setosa, King in Journ. As. Soe. Bengal 61, pt. 2, 89. A shrub; young 
branches densely covered with a layer of minute pubescence with numerous, long, 
brownish, straight bristles projecting beyond it; the older branches dark-coloured and 
almost glabrous. Leaves membranous, oblong or oblong-oblanceolate, shortly acuminate, 
the base rounded; main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, oblique, inter-arching near the edge; 
both surfaces sparsely setose, more densely so on the midrib and nerves; the lower 
also with sparse, minute pubescence; length 5°5 to 7d in., breadth 2 to 2°75 m.; 
petiole -05 in., setose. Flowers solitary, extra-axillary, about *2 in. in diam. when 
expanded; pedicels very slender, ‘75 in. long, pubescent, with a single minute bracteole 
below the middle. Sepa/s sub-orbicular, blunt. Ouder petals much larger than the sepals, 
broadly ovate, sub-acute, pubescent outside and glabrous inside like the sepals.  Lnnzr 
petals longer than the outer, vaulted, °22 in. long, the limb trapezoid sagittate, pubescent 
on the back and edges, glabrous in front; the claw narrow, shorter than the limb. 
Male flower; stamens numerous, cuneate; the connective broadly truncate at the apex. 
Ovaries unknown. Ripe carpels 4 or 5, sessile, globose or oblong-globose, °3 im. in 
diam., densely and minutely pubescent and with a few long sete besides.’ Seeds solitary, 
rarely 2; the testa pale, rather rough; the albumen very dense.

some distance from the margin; length 1°75 to 2°25 in., breadth -75 to 1°1 in.; petiole 
‘1 in. Flowers usually solitary, axillary; pedicels cientien °25 to *d in. long; benticbles 
minute, one about the middle, the others basal. Sepals small, orbicular or broadly 
ovate, ciliate. Outer petals oyate or orbicular, membranous, glabrous, ‘25 in. long; the 
inner much longer, trapezioid, with a long narrow claw. Stamens 12, in two rows.
