Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
7 pairs, curved, ascending; length 3-25 to 5 in., breadth 1-35 to 
2-5 in. ; petioles T to '15 in. Male floivers -45 in. long, 2 to 6 
together, in axillary or extra-axillary bracteate sessile tomentose 
fascicles. Calyx sub-sessile, campanulate, pubescent outside, glabrous 
inside ; the limb deeply divided into 5 broadly ovate, bluntly acuminate 
spreading lobes. Corolla salver-shaped; tube slightly inflated and 
glabrous in the lower half outside, cylindrie and pubescent in the 
upper half, inside glabrous ; limb with 4 broadly oblong obtuse 
glabrescent spreading lobes. Stamens 12, of different lengths, 
attached in 3 rows in the tube; anthers lanceolate-cordate, apicu- 
late ; filaments slender and of varying length ; rudimentary ovary 
none. Female flowers conspicuously bi-bracteate, in cymes like 
the $ but shortly pedunculate. Calyx as in the $ but less deeply 
lobed. Fruit ellipsoid, not much narrowed at the ends, slightly 
tetragonous, glabrous, -75 in. long and about -35 in. in diam., crowned 
by the short remains of the style ; the calyx clasping its base, about 
half as long, with 4 deep triangular lobes. Seeds 4, ridged. Clarke in

186 (1873). A shrub or small tree ; young branches half as thick as 
a goose-quill, fulvous-hirsute. Leaves alternate, membranous ; oblong 
or elliptic-oblong, sometimes rather oblanceolate, finely caudate- 
acuminate, slightly narrowed to the rounded or somewhat cuneate 
base ; both surfaces dark olivaceous-brown when dry, transversely 
reticulate; upper surface sparsely adpressed-pubescent, the midrib 
and main-nerves pubescent and slightly depressed ; lower surface 
darker, and with many long rather coarse hairs, especially on the 
prominent midrib and 8 to 10 pairs of slightly curved ascending 
main-nerves; length 5-5 to 7 in., breadth 1-5 to 2-5 in.; petiole 
■1 in., tomentose. Male flowers about 3 together, axillary, sub-sessile, 
•35 in. long. Calyx 4- to 5-partite, about '25 in. long, pubescent, lobes 
narrowly lanceolate. Corolla tubular, 4-lobed, - 4 in. long, the lobes 
spreading, oval, obtuse. Stamens 6 to 12, unequal, glabrous ; anthers 
linear-oblong, acuminate ; filaments often geniculate, dilated and some- 
what united at the base,, rudimentary ovary small, hairy. Female 
flowers 1 to 3 together on short axillary, minutely hispid cymes.
