when dry, lower pale brown, both puncticulate; margins slightly 
revolute; 15--30 cm. long, 4—10 cm. broad; midrib rather stout, 
flattened above, prominent and rough beneath ; main nerves 11—18 
pairs, rather faint and thin, at first straight then curving to vanish 
or join in very faint loops near the margin; reticulation obscure ; 
petiole 1—1°5 cm. long, rather rough. Flowers : 3 in axillary spread- 
ing glabrous panicles 7—16 ecm. long and 7—8 cm. broad; branches 
many, many-flowered; pedicels 1—3 mm. long; perianth very coria- 
ceous, transversely 2-valved, 3 mm. long, 4 mm. broad, slightly 
rugose outside, the margins of the valves meeting when in bud but 
not overlapping; andrcecium an obconic compressed sessile 2-lobed 
cup, bearing about 20—30 elongate linear anthers, connate from base 
to apex, each anther completely inflexed about the middle: 9? in pan- 
icles much shorter than the 3; pedicels thick; ovary glabrous, sessile, 
faintly bilobed. Fruit small, almost globose; 13 mm. long, 12 mm. 
broad; pericarp thick, glabrous. Seed 9 mm. long, 7°5 mm. broad;
