parallel-nerved. Flowers in panicles of corymbs from leaf axils and 

 from old nodes on brandies and stems, 1 foot long, sometimes nearly as 

 broad, individual corymbs 4-6 in. long, peduncles and pedicels glabrons, 

 stout, bracts very large ovate-acuminate, 2 in. long, "7 in. wide, tapering 

 from the middle to both ends, decreasing upwards : bracteoles 2, elliptic, 

 deciduous, "5 in. long, pedicels below bracteoles - 5 in. long. Calyx 

 bright yellow, tube 1 in. long, cylindric, slender, slightly curved, thrice 

 as long as limb of 4 obovate obtuscsepals. Petals 0. Stamens 4 with a 

 rudimentary filament, the filaments slender throughout and inserted in 

 the retiring angles of a 5-lobed disc ; anthers nearly twice as long as 

 broad; filaments thrice as long as sepals. Ovary stalked, puberulous 

 along sutures elsewhere glabrous, most often rudimentary; style de-

 cuneate, 9-12 in. long, 3-4 in. wide, secondary nerves about 12 pairs, 

 dark-green shining above, dull beneath, glabrous on both surfaces ; 

 petiolules stout *4 in. long, stipels caducous ; stipules coriaceous at length 

 scarious usually soon deciduous, the two united throughout into a con- 

 volute sheath for the subsequent bud, when laid open 75 in. long, '3 in. 

 wide, parallel-nerved. Flowers in panicles of corymbs from old nodes on 

 branches and stems, 6 in. long and as much across, individual corymbs 

 3 in. long, peduncles and pedicels glabrous stout; btaots very large, 

 obovate-acute, deciduous, lowest 2 in. long, Q in. wide, tapering from 

 above the middle to a cuneate base, decreasing upwards ; bracteoles 2, 

 lanceolate, deciduous, *5 in. long, pedicels below bracteoles *5 in. long. 

 Calyx yellow, tube 1 in. long, twice as long as limb of 4 oblong sepals. 

 Petals 0. Stamens 7-8 with a rudimentary filament and two acute 

 angular projections on the disc ; the filaments alternately slender 

 throughout and widened towards the base ; anthers nearly twice as long 

 as broad ; filaments twice as long as sepals. Ooanj stalked, puberulous
