hairs. Leaves oblanceolate, cuspidate, glabrous, cori¬ 
aceous ; nerves fourteen pairs, inarching well within the

long, 5 cm. wide; petiole 2 cm. long, rather suddenly 
thickened at the base. Petals broad, oblong obtuse, apex 
rounded, 4 cm. long, 1*5 cm. wide. Stamens linear acumi¬ 
nate acute, 1*5 cm. long. Syncarp densely silky, woolly, 
acuminate from above the stamen, tips 8 cm. long, 1 cm. 
through, apices of carpels glabrous obtuse.
