A climber 20 to 30 feet long ; the petals nlways tomentose, the other 
parts mostly glabrous, but sometimes the young branches, peduncles, and 
under surfaces of the midribs of tho leaves adpressed-pubcrulous. Leaves 
thinly coriaceous, obloug -lanceolate to ovate- lanceolate, acnte or shortly 
acuminate, the base acute ; both surfaces shining, tho reticulations rather 
distinct, the upper often deeply tinged with green when dry. Peduncles 
extra -axillary, thin at first, but becoming stout and fiat with ai/o, glabrous 
or puberulous, bearing from 5 to 15 flowers ; pedicels -3 to 45 in. loug, 
thickened upwards, sparsely adprcsscd-pubescont-, with a small narrowly 
ovate braet at the base ; flowers about -4 in. long. Sepals broadly ovate, 
the apex pointed, thinly coriaceous, sparsely adpreseed-pubesceut ex- 
ternally, very slightly conjoined at the base, spreading, -1 in. long. 
Petals fleshy, adpressed-tometitose, dilated and thin at the base, the limb 
cylindric to clavate, sub-erect, slightly spreading, sometimes with the 
apex incurved. Anthers short, with a very broad oblique flattened apical 
appendage from the connective ; torus slightly pubescent. Ovaries 
broadly ovoid, sub-compressed, the stigma small. Ripe carpels fow, ellip- 
soid, the apex blunt, the base slightly contracted, smooth, glabrous, -4 to 
•6 in. long and 25 in. in diam. ; pericarp thin, fleshy. Seed single, ellip-
