1 have seen no entire fruit of this species but only some loose 
carpels. When ripe they are said by Mr. Gallatly to be red. 
Ellipeu pumila, King, n. Hp. A shrub 2 to 8 feet high : young 
branches with minutopale rufous tomentum; when older dark-coloured, 
glabrous and furrowed. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate to elliptic- 
lanceolate, tapering from the middlo to the shortly acuminate apex 
and acute base ; both surfaces minutely granular when dry, the upper 
glabrous ; the lower sparsely adpressed-pubescent ; the midrib rufous- 
puk'Siu'iit. ; main nerves about 9 pairs, oblique, rather straight, faint on 
the lower surface, obsolete on the upper ; length 4*5 to 7 in., breadth 1*5 
to 2"25 in. ; petiole "25 to '35 in., pubescent. Flowers solitary, or in 
pairs, extra-axillary, sub-sessile, '75 in. in diam. when expanded, the 
buds globoM; ; pedicels "1 in. long, coarsely hirsute, bracteate. 8nj?als 
much shorter than the petals, broadly ovate, sub-acute, strigose-pubes- 
cent outside and sub-glabrous inside as are the petals. Petal* imbricate, 
spreading, lanceolate or oblanceolate-oblong, the outer at first much 
shorter than, but ultimately sub-equal to, the inner. Male-flower: 
stamens numerous, with transversely elongate, truncate, heads ; pistils 0. 
Female flower like the male but with fewer stamens ; pistils about 10, 
pubescent, 1-ovuled ; stigma short, flat, pubescent. Carpels 4 to 5, sub- 
eylindric, tapering to each end, "75 in. long and "25 in. diam., minutely 
granular and strigose ; stalks tomentose, '15 in. long; torus very small. 
Seed solitary, oblong, pale. 
In leaves and in general facies this is very like Popowia nervifolia, 
Maing., but its petals are distinctly imbricate.

tree 40 feet high ; young branches glabrous, dark- coloured, slightly 
ridged. Leaves coriaceous with pellucid dots, elliptic-oblong, or lanceo- 
late-oblong, acute or rarely shortly acuminate, the base acute ; upper 
surface glabrous; the lower sparsoly strigose, the reticulations transverse 
and very distinct; main nerves 10 or 11 pairs, oblique, rather straight; 
length 8 to 11 in,, breadth 2 to 3 5 ; petiole '35 to '5 in. glabrous. 
Flowers polygamous, solitary, extra-axillary, rarely in pairs, '75 in in 
diam., globose ; pedicels stout, "1 to '2 in. long, rufous pilose, bracteate. 
Sepals broadly ovate, acute, pubescent, much smaller than the petals. 
Petals white, spreading, imbricate ; the outer broadly ovate-oblong, ob-
