 dry ; elliptic -oblong or -obovate, shortly and bluntly acuminate at apex, 

 rounded at base ; upper surface glabrous, shining ; lower surface 

 minutely papillose ; both pale brown when dry ; margins somewhat 

 recurved ; 4 to 7 in. long, 2-5 to 4 in. broad ; midrib strong, much 

 raised beneath, bearing on the upper surface a gland just above the 

 petiole ; main nerves about 7 pairs, irregular but usually at 40° with

 frequent, especially near the top between tne main nerves ; reticula- 

 tions transverse, irregular, clearly visible only on the upper surface ;

 lobe a minute erect tooth. Staminal-column short ; anthers incumbent 

 over the style-apex ; cells divergent ; appendages acute, scarious ; pollen-
