nations, tlie base ctmeate or rotinded^ both gnrfaces glabrons ; main 
serves 5 or 6 pairs, spreading, cnrving, prominent on the lower snrfaee ; 
length 4 to 7 in., breadth I '75 to 3 25 in,, petiole "2 to '4> in. Panicles 
axillary, cyraose, pedunenlate, much shorter tlian the leaves, pabernlous, 
minutely bracteolftte. Flowers '3 in. in diam,, on thin pedicels longer 
than theraaelves. Oahjx cnpular, puberulous, with 5 broad ishallow 
obtuse teeth. Petals 5, much longer than the calyx, lanceolate, puber- 
ulous on the lower, glabrous on the upper surface. Disc deep, fleshy, with 
a broad ring of minute hairs on its upper half, deeply scooped out on 
the apper surface to receive the email 3*cclled ovary ; the 3 stamens 
attached to the margin of the disc, their filaments flat and much re- 
curved ; anthers small, rounded. Carpeb usually 2, flat, oblong, obtuse,

Flowers of Chittagong and Assam specimens of this which I have 
dissected agree perfectly with Kortbafs figure. Most of the specimens 
• fi-om the other localities cited ai*e in fruit only j but their leaves agree 
BO absolutely with the flowering specimens from Assam as to leave no 
doubt that thoy are conspecific, Helfer*s No. 905 (Kew Distrib,), and 
perhaps Grififith's No, 911 from the Eastern Himalaya, belong to this. 
H. Cununfjii% Laws, resembles this both in flowers and leaves ; but the 
petals in that are glandular-hairy on the upper sui'face, while in this 
the upper surface of the petals is quite glabrous.
