cinoreous-tomentose. Flowers not very nnmerous, large for the genus 
(■25 in. long and '25 in. in diam.), on pedicels about as long as the 
calyx. Calyx widely campamilate, almost rotate, minutely stellate- 
tomentose outside ; the teeth as long as the tube, spreading. Petals 
ovate, obtuse, rather suddenly contracted into a linear claw. Stamens 
in 6 groups of 12 or 13 each. Staminodes lanceolate, as long as the 
filaments. Ovary sub-globose, slightly compressed, minutely stellato- 
tomentoso and scaly, obtusely 5-angled, 5-co31ed. Styfo cylindric, rather 
shorter than tho filaments. Fruit nearly 1 in. long, with 10 radiating 
membranous, horizontal striate, minntely scaly, semi-elliptic, membra- 
nous wings, each "35 in. broad. 
Tavoy in Tonasserim; Griffith, Aplin. 
A very distinct species only once collected within recent years, by 
Mr. Aplin. There is, however, in the Kew Herbarium a twig of it col- 
lected by Griffith many years ago bearing this note in Griffith's hand- 
writing " TiUacearum gen. nov. capsttlis pluri-alatis." Although this 
plant has hitherto been found only in territory which is politically 
Burmese, yet Tavoy (being at the southern extremity of Tenasserim) is 
practically Malayan in its Flora and Fauna. I therefore include it 
here.
