densely rusty -tomentose, slender. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, aometiraea 
slightly oblanceolate, acuminate, slightly narrowed to the rounded base; 
upper surface glabrous except the strong ruBty-tomentoae midrib and 
the nerves; under surface atellate-rufous-tomentose, especially on the 
midrib, roliculatious, ami 7 (o 12 pairs of decerning, curving, bold ni.ni.ti 
nerves : length 4 to 9 in., breadth 1*7 to 3"25 in, ; petiole *15 to *2 in., 
stout. Flowers 1 to 1"25 in. in diara., solitary or in pairs, axillary : 
pedicels 1 to 1*75 in., densely tomentose like the outer surface of tho 
sepals, and with an ovate supra-median braeteolo. Sepais broadly ovate, 
concave, spreading, pubemlous within, *35 in, long. Petals thinly

slender, stollate-mfons-tomeutose, ultimately dark-coloured, striate ; 
sparsoly lenticellate. Leaves sub-coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, ncurainate, 
slightly narrowed to the rounded base; both surfaces with short, stellate, 
rather pale hairs, scabrid on the upper, soft on the lower surface ; tho

12 in. in diam., 2 or 3 together in short supra-axillary cymes; pedicels 
stellate-tomentose like the outer surface of the calyx, *3 or '4 in. long, 
with a largo orbicular amplexicaul bracteole. Sepals orbicular, connate 
into an obscurely 3-toothed spreading cup '4 in. in diam., glabreseent 
inside. Petals spreading, sub-orbicular to broadly oblong, very blunt,
