This species has the flowers of both sexes alike. The carpels of 

 this species are much larger than those of S. Burahol, Bl. ; and its leaves 

 are more thickly coriaceous and shining, the nerves and midrib being 

 much more depressed on the upper and prominent on the lower surface. 



3. Stelechocarpus Burahol, H. f. and T. Fl. Ind. 94. A tree 

 20 to 60 feet high : young branches slender, dark-coloured, glabrous. 

 Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, acute or very shortly acu- 

 minate, the base cuneate : both surfaces glabrous, shining, the reti- 

 culations minute and distinct, the lower with minute black dots, 

 the upper with very minute scales ; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, sub- 

 ascending, prominent, inter-arching - 2 in. within the margin; length 

 of blade 5 to 8 in. ; breadth l - 75 to 2 - 75 in. ; petiole '3 to "9 in. 

 Male flowers much smaller than the female (only about "4 in. in diarn.), 

 in fascicles of 8 to 16 from minutely bracteolate woody tubercles from 

 the branches and trunk, pedicellate ; the pedicels slender, ebracteolate, 

 tomentose, from - 5 to '75 in. long. Sepals coriaceous, triangular, spread- 

 ing. Petals much longer than the sepals, oblong, sub-acute, warted, 

 pubescent inside : anthers with obtuse terminal, dilated, 2-lobed apical 

 appendages from the connective ; ovaries 0. Female flowers three times 

 as huge as the males, and on similar pedicels; calyx not persistent ; corolla 

 as in the male. Ovaries numerous, on an ovoid-conic torus, oval or 

 obovate, the outer surface compressed, the inner with a vertical ridge 

 and adpressed, pale hairs ; Btigma sessile, minutely lobed. Fruit on stout 

 peduncles 2 to 3 in. long, thickened upwards. Pipe carpels few, shortly 

 stalked, globose, obovate, about 1'5 in*, long, and 1'25 in. in diam. ; when

There is sometimes a remarkable difference in the length of the 

 petioles in this species, some of those on the same specimen being three 

 times as long as others. 



2. Sageraea, Dalz. 



Trees. Leaves shining, and branches glabrous. Floivers small, 



axillary or fascicled on woody tubercles, 1-2-sexual. Sepals orbicular 



or ovate, imbricate. Petals 6, imbricate in 2 series, nearly equal, usually 



orbicular, very concave. Stamens 6-21, imbricate iu 2 or more series,
