species. 
7. CmNNnAMomMUM vimInEuM, Nees in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. II. 76

brown, glabrous, younger subcompressed, minutely hoary-pubescent. 
as are the innovations. Leaves opposite or subopposite, chartaceous ; 
lanceolate, long acuminate at apex with an obtuse acumen, acute 
at base; both surfaces glabrous, upper shining, lower pale; 8—12 
em. long, 2—4 cm. broad; ribs 3, divergent from the base or slightly 
above it, the midrib extending to the apex, the side ones to about 
2—3 cm. below it; main nerves none; transverse nervules many, 
irregular, very obscure, enclosing an obscure areolate reticulation ; 
petiole slender, 7—10 mm. long, glabrous. Flowers in short lateral 
few-flowered panicles from the internodes of upper branchlets, 
glabrous, very small. Fruit ovoid, apiculate, 10 mm. long, 75 mm. 
in diam., seated on the cup-shaped glabrous smooth enlarged perianth 
with smooth margins, this again supported by the obconic glabrous 
enlarged pedicel 7 mm. long; pericarp smooth, yellow whendry. Nees

straight to the apical gland, the side pair from the base or very 
little above it, widely curving upwards to about three-fourths of the 
distance to the apex where they break into slender loops and some- 
times join a single pair of slender nerves; outside nerves about 3, 
indistinct, widely looped; transverse nervules subparallel, arched, 
indistinct as is the areolate reticulation ; petiole black, 5—10 mm. 
long. Flowers moderate-sized in slender lax pedunculate axillary
