acute, rounded or emarginato ; minutely denticulate or sub-entire ; 

 glEibrons above except the 16 to 20 paii's of sub-horizontal pubescent nerves, 

 fuscous-tomentose beneath ; blade 3-5 to 7 in. long by 2'75 to 3'6 in. broad, 

 petiole about 1 in. tomentose. Floioers solitary 6 to 8 in. in diam. ; pe- 

 duncles stout, tomentose, 2'5 in. long. Sepals reflexed, ovate, concave, 

 thick, minutely adpressed-tomentoso in the middle externally, the mai'gins 

 and inner surface glabrous. Fetah obovate, yellow, veined. Stigmas 

 about 15, long, linear, recurved. H. f. and Th. Fl. Ind. I, 70 ; Hook. fil.

I have seen no ripe fruit of this, nor have I found any description of 

 the ripe fruit. I am therefore unable to say whether the sepals and 

 seeds are those of a FiUenia or a Wormia. This comes near D, a urea, 

 but the iiauioles are much laxer and the petioles longer. 



3. D. A0REA, Sm. Ex. Bot. 93, t. 92. A tree, the branchlets as 

 thick as the little finger, glabrous, scabrid : young parts rufous-serice- 

 ous. Leaoes obovate, blunt or acute, crenate-dentate, glabrous above 

 except the 20 pairs of pubescent, bold, sub-transverse nerves ; under 

 surface softly puberulous : length of blade 5 to 8 in. : breadth 3 to 4'5 

 in. : petiole 1"25 to 2 in., sheathing at the base. Flowers solitary, from 

 shortened branches, 4 to 5 in. diam. ; peduncles stout, 1 in. or more. Sepals 

 oblong, obtuse, concave, fleshy, adpressed- pubescent externally when 

 young, when old glaucous. Petals obovate, yellow, veined. Stigmas 

 about 10, linear, radiate. DC. Prodr. i. 76 ; Wall Oat. 6624 ; H. f. & V.

4. D. RBTlCUiiATA, King, n. sp. A large tree. Leaves very coria- 

 ceous, obovate-olliptic, obtuse ?, dentate ; the base truncate, cordate ; 

 upper surface glabrous except the impressed midrib and nerves, which 

 arc ijubesoent ; under surface pubescent, the midrib and nerves very 

 strong ; reticulations minute, very bold, areolar ; nerves 32 to 36 pairs, sub- 

 horizontal ; length of blade 10 to 18 in., breadth 7 tol2 in., petiole 2 to 3 in. 

 winged, much expanded at the base. Oymes lateral and terminal, shoi't, 

 branching, 10 to 12 flowered, pubescent ; pedicels stout, bracteolate. Sepals 

 thick, broadly elliptic to orbicular, 1 in. in diam., pubescent externally. 

 Petals oblong, concave, 1-5 in. long. Stamens in many series ; the outer 

 inflexed, introrse ; the inner erect and extrorso. Pistils about 9, puber- 

 ulous ; stigmas linear, radiating, ovules ex-arillate.
