2. MATTH#A LATIFOLIA, Perk. in Engler’s Bot. Jahrb. xxv. 563, 
fig. 10, 5—7 (1898). A glabrous shrub or small tree; branchlets 
greyish with yellowish patches and lenticels. Leaves chartaceo-coria- 
ceous; oval or oval-oblong, shortly acuminate at apex, rounded- 
cuneate at base; glabrous on both surfaces, the upper greenish when 
dry, the lower reddish-brown except the nearly white nerves; 
margins slightly recurved ; 10—20 cm. long, 4—8 cm. broad; midrib 
rather slender, prominent, keeled above; main nerves 8—10 pairs, 
prominent on the under surface, curving outwards to join in prom- 
inent intramarginal loops; secondary nerves between the main 
nerves also joining the arches and branched; reticulation loose, ir- 
‘regular; petiole 1—1°5cm. long. lowers in umbels on axillary or 
lateral tubercles, pedicels 5—6 mm. long, « 1—1‘5 mm. in diam. ; 
receptacle depressed-cupular; 2 4—5 mm. broad, flattened. Stamens 
4, filaments very short, anthers ovoid. Carpels « , subulate, pubes- 
cent. Fruit a bluish-red ovoid drupe 15—17 mm. long, 5—7 mm. in 
diam.; pericarp crustaceous. Perk. in Engl. Pflanzenreich iv. 52, t. 
10, 5—7 and xlix. 17, t. 7 B.C.

The description is partly taken from Miss Perkins’—it does not seem to

3. MAaTrTHa#A CALOPHYLLA, Perk. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxv. 563 
(1898). <A tree (?); branchlets smooth, pale brown, glabrous except 
when quite young, innovations tawny-pubescent ; pith large. Leaves 
submembranous; ovate- or elliptic-oblong, abruptly cuspidate-acu- 
minate at apex, rounded or subacute at base; both surfaces glabrous, 
the lower slightly reddish when dry; margins entire, cartilaginous ; 
20—30 cm. long, 7—9 cm. broad; midrib stout, main nerves 8—10 
pairs, pale, the lowest pair from quite at the base, the rest distant, 
curving upwards and joining, especially the upper ones, in broad 
arches, outside which are smaller arches forming intramarginal 
nerves; secondary nerves and reticulation also pale, irregular, 
branching ; petiole straight, 1-5—2 cm. long, channelled. Flowers 
in short subumbellate pubescent cymes in the axils of the leaves or 
of fallen leaves; rhachis very short; pedicels slender, flattened, 1—2 
cm. long, bracteolate about the middle, elongating and thickening in 
fruit; perianth in g obovate-globose, 6 mm. in diam., deeply con- 
cave; in 2 depressed globose, 5 mm. in diam., the apex conical,
