on the enlarged rugose pedicel about 1 cm. long, the perianth-tube 
forming a flattened ring, the lobes apparently deciduous ; pericarp

5. NOTHAPH@BE PANDURIFORMIS, Gamble. A tree, reaching 
about 12 m. in height and a considerable girth; branchlets stout, 
grey, rough, striate; leaf-buds short, lanceolate, puberulous. Leaves 
thinly coriaceous, more or less fascicled towards the ends of the 
branchlets, alternate; obovate or panduriform, obtuse or bluntly api- 
culate at apex, cordate-auriculate at base; glabrous on both surfaces, 
nearly black when dry on the upper, reddish brown on the lower; 
20—30 cm. long, 7—10 cm. broad, in old trees smaller and with 
fewer nerves; midrib broad, stout, usually fat on the upper surface, 
raised on the lower; main nerves 12 to 20 pairs, more numerous near 
the base. at first nearly straight, then curved to close to the margin 
where they meet in loops, joined by prominent parallel transverse 
nervules and the reticulation; petiole very stout, 5—6 mm. long, 
sometimes 0. lowers very small, yellow, in branching axillary rusty- 
pubescent panicles 10—20 cm. long and scaly at the base ; branches 
slender ; terminal cymules subumbellate, densely rusty-tomentose ; 
bracts and bracteoles triangular, acute, very small; pedicels thick, 
about 2 mm. long; buds globose. Perianth-tube very short; outer 
3 lobes triangular, +5 mm. long; inner 3 ovate, half as long again. 
Stamens minute; those of 1st and 2nd rows clavate, °5 mm. long, 
apex glabrous, filaments coppery-villous; those of 38rd row longer, 
obtuse at tip, basal glands none or extremely minute; staminodes 
of 4th row triangular, glabrous in front, villous behind. Ovary

cylindric-oblong curved berry 5—7 cm. long and 2—2°5 cm. in 
diam., seated on the remains of the perianth and a slightly enlarged
