1. Diplycosia latifolia, Blume Bijdr. 858. A small glabrous 
epiphytic shrub ; young branches half as thick as a goose-quill, pale 
and angled when dry. Leaves thickly coriaceous, elliptic, the apex 
shortly and obtusely acuminate, the base cuneate or somewhat rounded, 
the edges recurved; both surfaces pale yellowish-brown when dry, the 
upper shining, the lower dull ; the midrib bold, much raised on the 
lower surface, slightly depressed on the upper ; main-nerves 2 or 3 
pairs, curving upwards, the lower pair usually longer than the others, 
none of them very prominent on either surface, but more so on the 
lower than on the upper, reticulations obsolete ; length 3 to 5 in. ; 
breadth 1-35 to 3 in. ; petioles -2 to '3 in. long. Floivers -2 in. long, in 
axillary fascicles of 3 or 4 ; their pedicels slender, -1 to -15 in. long, 
inserted 3 or 4 together on minute tubercles surrounded by several 
small bracts. Calyx cupular, -1 in. across, with 5 broad, spreading, 
obtuse, ciliolate lobes. Corolla -25 in. long, narrowly campanulate, con- 
tracted into a short tube at the base, the limb deeply divided into 
5 ovate sub-acute lobes, closely embracing the ovary. Stamens 10, 
included ; anthers narrowly oblong, each with two short apical trun- 
cate beaks but no basal processes ; the filaments slender in their upper 
halves, the lower halves dilated and cohering into a tube. Ovary 
5-celled, the apex broad, concave ; style cylindric, about as long as 
the corolla ; stigma small, capitate. Fruit 5-celled ; seeds numerous,

elliptic oblong-elliptic or lanceolate, acute or acuminate at apex and 
base, the edges recurved; both surfaces olivaceous-brown when dry, 
the upper sub-reticulate and shining, the lower dull and not reticulate ; 
main-nerves 1 pair following the edge from base to apex, distinct and 
depressed like the midrib on the upper surface, indistinct on the lower ; 
length 2 to 4 in. ; breadth 1 to 2 in. ; petiole rather more than -2 in. long. 
Flowers axillary, fascicled, rarely solitary, about '15 in. long, bearing
