3. Maruaha reticulata, Blume Mas. Bot. I, 34. Scandent ; young 

 branches, petioles, under surfaces of leaves and calyx densely clothed 

 with rusty stellate, more or less deciduous hairs, the young branches, 

 petioles and especially the calyx with stout spreading bristles inter- 

 mixed ; the nodes swollen and annulate. Leaves subcoriaceous, ovate- 

 lanceolate, 5-nerved (the lateral pair slender), minutely cordate at the 

 base, the apex shortly acuminate ; upper surface deeply reticulate, 

 glabrous; length 2 to 35 in., breadth *8 to 1*5 in., petiole '1 to 2 in. 

 Flowers 1*25 in. long (including the anthers), axillary, either solitary 

 on pedicels as long as themselves or in pedunculate cymes of three ; 

 the middle flower being nearly sessile, the lateral pair on short pedicels. 

 Calyx-tube densely hispid externally, the teeth 4, short, broadly triangular 

 and blunt, tomentose on the inner surface. Petals ovate, sub-acute, 

 glabrous. Stamens 8, the anthers somewhat unequal in length but all 

 linear, curved and with two long appendages at the base in front. Fruit
