2. 18. A strong creeper 80 to 100 feet long, stem 2 to 3 in. in diam. ; 
old branches '75 in. in diam. still densely tomentose, quite cylindric, with 
large pith ; brancblets -3 in. in diam., densely velvety with a tawny 
to rusty matted tomentum. Leaves elliptic or elliptic-obovate, with 
a narrowly tnmcate or rounded base, and an obtuse or sometimes 
retuse apex, the margin strongly revolute ; 8 to 10 in. long, 3-5 to 4 in. 
wide ; coriaceous ; upper surface quite glabrous, dark green and shining 
with sometimes a silvery, sometimes a rich coppery sheen ; under 
surface velvety, pale brownish-green, the tomentum longer, looser, and 
sometimes whitish on the main-nerves ; lateral nerves rather straight, 
spreading, 12 to 15 pairs, rather distinctly looped along the margin, 
prominent beneath, deeply impressed above, as is the secondary 
reticulate venation ; petiole - 35 in. long, densely rusty-velvety. 
Flowers in short axillary racemes, sometimes clustered, of close-set 
2-3-flowered individual cymules ; the racemes 1 to 2 in. long ; peduncles, 
short pedicels and small ovate bracts and bracteoles densely rusty- 
velvety. Sepals orbicular, densely velvety outside, quite glabrous 
within, coriaceous, in fruit - 2 in. across. Corolla - 5 in. across , lobes 
slightly spreading, glabrous within, and waxy white or yellow, narrow 
and deeply divided ; interlobular spaces densely dark brown, almost 
black velvety-pubescent externally ; lobules very, small oblong. Fruit

In the first of his three gatherings Kunstler has noted this as a tree 50 to 70 feet 
high, but in the two subsequent ones as a large creeper, which is, from the appearance 
of the specimens, undoubtedly the case with the first gathering also. 
3. Ebycibe expansa, Wall. Cat. 1331. A large climber, branches 
angled, with fissured bark, glabrous ; branchlets angular, densely lusty- 
tomentose. Leaves elliptic or slightly obovate, apex abruptly shortly 
acuminate to a sharp tip, base rounded or sub-cordate ; 2 to 2-5 in. long, 
1 to 1-5 in. wide ; chartaceous ; dark green, quite glabrous above, paler 
and rusty-pubescent, especially on the nerves, beneath, the pubescence 
ultimately disappearing except from the nerves in old leaves , lateral 
nerves 2 to 3 pairs, very oblique, ascending ; secondary reticulate venation 
fairly visible above only ; petioles '15 in. long, densely rusty -pubescent. 
Flowers in rather condensed 5-9-flowered cymes disposed in pyra-
