smooth, about '5 in. across; basal bracts 3, broad, rotund, coriaceous.
Java.
Of tliis species only a few specimens exist in herbaria. It must be near ehstiea, but
J keep it distinct, as the nervation of the leaves diiSers from that in elastica, the primary
nerves being fewer and more oblique and the edge being thickened and recurved; the stipules,
moreover, are much shorter than those of elasiica, the receptacles more globulaa-.
In this species, as in elastica, the involucral hoods which cover the young receptacles
are unusually persistent. In the only specimens wliich I have seen the receptacles are too
young for the structure of the flowers to be made out.
