hairy. Petals ovate, small. Stamens narrow with erect oblong 
appendages. Pistils hairy slender ; no style; ovules numerous in 
one row. Hab. Singapore (Wallich). Penang, Pulau Betong reserve 
(Curtis). 
The habit and foliage are very like that of Cyathostemma Hookeri, but the 
flower is tomentose. Curtis describes this as a tree; I do not think it is an 
Uvaria at all, but I have seen no really adult flowers nor fruit. The stellate 
pubescence is peculiar. 
6. UVARIELLA, Ridl.

extra-axillary solitary or few. Petals sub-similar. Stamens
