2. PH#ANTHUS LucIDUs, Oliver in Hook. Ic. Pl., t. 1561, A tree 40 to 50 feet 
high; young branches minutely rusty-pubescent or almost glabrous, dark-coloured and 
furrowed, Leaves thickly membranous, oblong-elliptic to lanceolate, acuminate, the base 
cuneate; both surfaces shining, glabrous except occasionally the puberulous midrib; main 
nerves about 8 pairs, oblique, rather prominent beneath; length 4°5 to 6°5 in., breadth

square truncate heads. Ovaries numerous, 1-ovulate. tie carpels oblong, *6 in, long

3, PHxANTHUS ANDAMANICUS, King in Journ, As. Soc. Bengal 61, pt. 2, 122, A 
small glabrous shrub; young branches pale brown, slender. Leaves membranous, elliptic 
or elliptic-lanceolate, acute, slightly narrowed to the rounded base, both surfaces rather 
pale when dry; main nerves 15 to 20 pairs, faint, slender, horizontal, forming double 
loops near the margin, the reticulations faint; length 4 to 75 in.,- breadth 1:75 to 
2:5 in.; petiole -35 in. Flowers *5 to ‘75 in. in diam., campanulate, solitary, rarely 
in pairs, extra-axillary; pedicels -2 in. long, bracteolate at the base. Sepals very small, 
semi-orbicular. Outer petals slightly larger than the sepals and about ‘1 in, long; inner 
petals united at the base, oblong-ovate, sub-acute, *5 to ‘7 in. long, 4- or 5-nerved. 
Anthers numerous, flattened from front to back, about as broad as long with truncate, 
not apiculate, heads. Ovaries numerous, elongate, narrow, ‘2-ovuled; stigmas elongate. 
Ripe carpels sub-globular, *5 in. in diam.; stalks *5 to ‘7 in. Seeds 2, plano-convex, 
pale, | ati ; : :;

This is a very distinct species, recognisable at once by the unusual character (which 
connects the genus with Miliusa) of haying its petals united at the base, and also by 
its 2-seeded carpels.
