neath ; from five to ten inches long, and from three to five broad. 

 —Petioles channelled on the upper edge. — Stipules petiolary, large, 

 semi-elliptic, villous, caducous. — Cymes terminal, super-decom- 

 pound, villous.— Flowers very numerous, small.— Bractes linear, 

 villous, caducous. — Calyx campanulate, five-toothed. — Corol green, 

 five-cleft. — Nectary round, urceolate, pearl-coloured, inserted on 

 the mouth of the small tube of the corol, and there contracted by 

 a sharp vein on the inside, deeply five-parted ; segments linear-ob- 

 long, fleshy, with a thin, rounded apex. — Filaments inserted into the 

 bottom of the fissures of the nectary, above the middle jointed, and 

 there bent in and down. Anthers linear-oblong, inverted, and in 

 that position their margins are firmly united into a ring round the 

 stigma. — Germ superior, ovate, six-celled, with one ovulum in each, 

 attached to the base of the axis. Style short, but thin, and six- 

 grooved. Stigma rather large, entire, convex. — Berry much flat- 

 tened, size of a small cherry, smooth, black, and somewhat succu- 

 lent, six-lobed, six-celled. — Seed solitary. — Per isperm conform to the 

 seed, intersected with some deep brown fissures, as in all the other 

 species examined by me. — Embryo small, a little curved. Cotyledons 

 subulate. Radicle inferior, pointing to the umbilicus. 



Obs. by N. W. 

 This is by far the largest species of them all ; I have at this mo- 

 ment a leaf before me, which is full five feet long, by nearly six broad, 

 with a petiol four inches round at the base. — N. VV.
