2. Mitre phora reticulata, Hook. fil. and Thorns. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 
77. A tree 20 to 30 feet high : young branches tawny-tomentose,

This species has the inner petals rather larger than the outer and 
much vaulted ; and in this respect it conforms to the characters of 
Orophea ; but its stamens are uvarioid in character and they are numer- 
ous j its flowers, moreover, are unisexual. The characters of MitrepJiora 
therefore preponderate, and it is hotter located in the latter genus. But 
there is no doubt it forms a connecting link between the two genera.
