into the netted reticulation; petiole stout, 1—3 cm. long, at first 
thickly rufous-tomentose, afterwards glabrous. Flowers: 3 densely 
felted, rufous tomentose, in many-flowered sessile umbels from tuber- 
cles in the axils of leaves and of fallen leaves; pedicels 1—1°5 cm. 
long; bracteoles ovate, close to the perianth ; perianth depressed, tri- 
gonous, obovoid-globose, 6 mm. in diam., lobes 3, broadly triangular, 
glabrous within; andrcecium surrounded by a raised disk, the stalk 
cylindric 1 mm. high, the peltate top convex, papillose, surrounded 
by the radiating anthers, anthers 13—15 with short filaments: 9? 
subsessile in few-flowered clusters on tubercles as in 3; buds ovoid, 
the bracteole minute, lobes 3 broadly triangular, glabrous within ; 
ovary depressed globular, densely rufous-tomentose; stigma peltate, 
large, with 12 or more often-forked lobes. fruzt ellipsoid, blunt, 
densely covered with rufous-tomentum, about 3 cm. long, 2 cm, 
broad, supported by the persistent perianth-lobes. Seed narrowly

(1897). A tree reaching 12—24 m. in height and 30—45 ecm. in 
diam. of stem; branchlets moderately stout with greyish rather 
smooth bark, younger thinly covered with minute scurfy rufous 
tomentum. Leaves coriaceous; narrowly oblong-lanceolate or oblong, 
acute or shortly acuminate at apex, shortly cuneate or rounded at 
base; upper surface shining, lower pale, both when young rusty- 
pubescent, afterwards glabrous; 10—49 cm. long, 2—9 cm. broad; 
midrib prominent, raised on both surfaces; main nerves 12—22 
pairs, raised above, parallel, slightly curving to the margin and flatly 
interarching close to it; transverse nervules very many, raised and 
prominent on the upper surface and branching into the netted re- 
ticulation; petiole 10—13 mm. long, at first tomentose, afterwards 
glabrous and black, channelled. Flowers: 3 in rusty-tomentose 
umbels of 6—8 from short rounded woody tubercles in the axils of 
leaves or of fallen leaves; pedicels rather slender, up to 1 cm. long; 
bracteole small, ovate, close under the perianth; perianth ovoid-
