CYATHOCALYX ZeYLANICUS. (Champion.) A tree, adult branches glabrous, young ones aureo-pubescent, leaves 
oblongo-lanceolate with a sudden acumination 6-10 inches long 2-3 broad, shining and glabrous on both sides coriaceous, veins oblique 
incurved, peduncles 1-3 about \ an inch long, sepals joined into a subeutire or minutely 3-5 toothed cup, hoary with minute golden

cavity in the centre in which the solitary glabrous ovary is seated, stigma large peltate rotundate, fruit broadly oval, a little larger than 
a goose’s egg ; seeds in 2 series numerous compressed 1 inch long transversely rugose, testa reddish brown, albumen ruminate. Champ 
MSS. in Herb. Hook — Hook, and Th. Fl. Ind. p. 127. 
Common in the moist shola forests on the slopes of the ghats in Malabar and S. Canara and in the Anamallays at an

brous on both sides and shiuiug above, 4-7 inches long by 1J to 3 broad, (petioles about in.) peduncles leaf opposed woody aud hook, 
like, pedicels (solitary 1) J to nearly 1 inch long adpressedly fusco-toinentose (as are the calyx and petals), sepals cohering at the base 
acuminate, petals thickly coriaceous, the outer ones a little larger and furnished with a dorsal keel, ovaries numerous glabrous or

Common in S. Canara, Mysore, Coorg and Travancore, &c. up to 4,000 feet elevation, also in Ceylon—-the specimeu figured 
is from the Sampagee ghat in Coorg. The uncinate woody peduncles are peculiar to the genus. A 2nd sp. A. odoratissimus is an orna¬ 
mental shrub common in Madras gardens. Three other species, all creepers, are described by Hook and Thom. A. caudatus from Sylhet, A. 
Burmanicus from Ava and Mergui, and A. suaveolens from Sylhet and the Malay Peninsula. One species from tropical West Africa is 
the only extra Indian species recorded.

multiserial, ovaries broadly oval, style oval, ovules 4-6 in two series, carpels 5-15, subglobose about one inch long densely fulvo- 
tomentose — seeds 3-4 nestling in pulp. Hook, and T. Fl. Ind. p. 152.—Uvaria tomentosa. W. A. prod p. 8 ; Roxb. Fl. Ind■ ii. p. 667.
