the petiole; both surfaces glabrous, the upper shining, the lower fer- 
ruginous-brown, sometimes puncticulate; margin slightly recurved ; 
2—5'5 cm. in diam.; ribs primarily 3, the 2 outer pedately branch- 
ing early to make 5, curved to join in faint loops at the apex; main 
nerves none, transverse nervules and reticulation irregular, obscure ; 
petiole 1—2 cm. long, rather slender below, above gradually broad- 
ened to the blade. Flowers rather large (for the genus) in slender 
few-flowered racemes up to 2 cm. long, fascicled in the axils of the 
leaves; bracts small, deciduous. Perianth tube in 3 very short, 
lobes 5--6, triangular, 15 mm. long: in ¢ enclosing the ovary, 
lobes rather shorter than in ¢, persistent. Disk concave, 3 api- 
culate only in the centre, ¢ with the lobed stigma. Drupe rather 
large, obovoid, about 13 mm. long, 9 mm. broad, exocarp furrowed, 
slightly rugose and with many irregular protuberances into the albu- 
men within.

xliii (1850). A climbing parasitic shrub reaching 4—6 m. in length; 
branches terete, nearly smooth, nodose and somewhat angular. 
Leaves subcoriaceous; elliptic or obovate, obtuse or rounded at apex, 
narrowed at base; both surfaces glabrous, the upper shining, the 
lower sometimes puncticulate, olive-green when dry; margins re- 
flexed; 4—9 cm. long, 2—6 cm. broad; ribs usually 3, sometimes 5 
by the bifurcation of the outer ones, sometimes with a pair of in- 
conspicuous ones near the margin, all curving to anastomose near 
the apex; nerves very few, irregular and irregularly netted; petiole 
3—10 mm. long, the upper part bordered by the decurrent margins 
of the blade. Flowers minute; ¢ in fascicles of racemes 7—12 mm. 
long in the axils of-the leaves, bracts minute, caducous, buds de- 
pressed, concave at top; pedicels short, 1—2 mm. long; ¢ also 
fascicled but the racemes fewer. Perianth-tube very short in 3, the 
lobes triangular, 1—1°5 mm. long, minutely recurved-apiculate; in? 
surrounding the ovary, the lobes persistent in fruit. Disk in ¢@ flat 
or slightly concave, 2°5 mm. in diam.; in ¢ surrounding the 5-lobed 
stigma. Drupe ellipsoid-globose, 8—10 mm. long, 6—7 mm. broad, 
rugose, the endocarp 5-furrowed; cotyledons usually shorter than the 
radicle. A. DC. Prodr. xiv. 631; Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. V. 233;
