cave at the apex, puberulous outside, glabrous inside. Staminal tube 
nearly as long as the petals and free from them, villous outside, glabrous 
inside, the mouth slightly waved. Anthers 5, elliptic, included. Ovary 
small (in the male flowers), sericeous. Style longer than the staminal 
tube, sericeous at the base, otherwise glabrous, stigma cylindric. Ovary

In many respects this resembles 0. patens , Bh, but it has larger 
flowers and much less pyriform fruit. The staminal tube of this is 
moreover only slightly toothed at the apex, whereas that of C. patens has 
6 long lanceolate teeth. 
13. Chisocheton patens, Blume, Bijdr. 169. A tree 20 to 40 feet 
high. Leaves with the petiole and rachis almost glabrous, 1 to 3 feet 
long; leaflets 10 to 13 pairs, opposite or sub-opposite, thinly coriaceous, 
oblong-lanceolate, rarely oblong-elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base 
narrowed and unequal-sided; both surfaces glabrous, reticulate, the 
lower pale and with the 10 to 14 pairs of curved spreading nerves and 
also the reticulations prominent; length 4 to 7 in., breadth 1 to 2*5 in., 
petiolule *15 to *4 in. Male panicles about as long as the leaves (the 
female shorter), supra-axillary, pendulous, glabrous, with numerous di¬ 
vergent branches the lower of which are compound, the middle spike-like, 
and the uppermost short aud cymose. Flowers *35 in. long, on short rather 
stout pedicels. Calyx cupular, puberulous outside ; the mouth entire, 
truncate or wavy. Petals 4, three or four times as long as the calyx, 
sub-spathulate elliptic, glabrous, longer than and quite free from the 
staminal-tube. Staminal tube free from the petals, cylindric, ex¬ 
panding slightly upwards, pubescent near the mouth, otherwise glabrous 
outside, pubescent inside, the mouth with 6 long lanceolate teeth which 
are slightly shorter than the 6 linear elongate anthers. Ovary very 
small, surrounded by a notched fleshy glabrous disc ; style cylindrio, 
pubescent ; stigma cylindric, glabrous. Fruit pyriform, attenuated 
below into a thick pseudo-stalk, glabrous ; length 2*25 in. of which the 
stalk-like part is 1 in. Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. Yol. I, Pt. 2, 537 ; Ann. Mus.
