attenuate at base; upper surface shining, glabrous except the midrib, 
lower minutely dark ferruginous-tomentose, more so on the nerves ; 
margins recurved; 10—18 cm. long, 4—7 cm. broad; midrib stout, im- 
pressed above, prominently raised beneath; main nerves 10O—13 pairs, 
parallel, at about 40° with the midrib, curved in the upper part to and 
along the margin, impressed above, prominently raised beneath; 
transverse nervules sub-horizontal, obscure ag is the reticulation ; 
petiole stout, 10—15 mm.long. Flowers yellowish, without densely 
dark-tawny-tomentose, in peduncled (5—10 mm.) umbellules in 
short lateral racemes of about 5 and up to 5 mm. long; umbellules 
7 mm. in diam., (3) with 4 orbicular concave involucral bracts 
glabrous within ; flowers in each umbellule about 7 very shortly 
pedicelled ; perianth-tube short, lobes ovate-oblong, ciliate, 3-nerved, 
glandular, 3 mm. long. Stamens in 3 flowers 12 in 4 rows, nearly 
or quite glabrous ; those of the 2 outer rows with subquadrate anthers 
and slender filaments, 1-5 mm. long, eglandular; those of 2 inner 
rows similar but smaller and only 1 mm. long with a pair of oblong 
sessile glands near the tops of the very short filaments; rudimentary 
ovary ovoid with thick style and short stigma. Staminodes in 2 
flowers also 12, glabrous, those of the outer rows spathulate, 1°25 
mm. long; those of the inner rows 1 mm. long, subulate, with a pair 
of glands near the tops of the filaments. Ovary not seen. Fruit 
depressed-globose, 16 mm. in diam., 12 mm. long, when young nearly 
quite surrounded by the rugose cupule formed by the enlarged 
perianth-tube which opens out gradually and at length becomes a 
shallow rather thin patelliform cup under 5 mm. high and 1—2 em. 
broad at mouth; pedicel obconic, rough, 5 mm. long; pericarp 
smooth, yellowish when dry. Koord. & Val. Bijdr. X. 179.
