Tbis is apparently not a eomnion plaut, as it does not ocour in the collections of either Patbcr
Scortecbini or of Mr. Kunstler (the Calcutta OoUeotor). It is at once distiuguisbod by the bracts at
the base of the female rooeptaole. The female recoptaoles of tbis resemble those of J. rigida, Bl..
but the leaves and young branches are "very differeut. Male reoeptaclea of tbis are unknown. This was
considered by Knrz to be Miquel's species rufomns, but it does not agree with Miquel's description:
nnreOTer Miquel ultimately {Ann. Miis. Lu;nl. Bat. iii. 211.) himself reduced bis rnfcsrens to Twnpaay,
and Tampiing is in my opinion but a variety of Lakoocha, Roxb.

Tonng shoots of the thickness of a swan's quill, deeply striate, rugose, and densely cirered with
short, rufous, tomentum; leaves coriaceoas, petiolate, broadly ovate to ovate-elliptic, entire, acute, the base
rounded or slightly cordate; lower surface softly and minutely tawny-tomentose; the midrib aud
main nerves (of which there are 9 to 11 pairs) stout; miuor nerves obscure; npper surface barsli,
minutely tuberculate-hispid; the midrib and nerves tomentose; length of blade 4'5 to 6 in.,
breadth 3 to 4 in.; petiole -75 in. or less, tomentose ; stipules in pairs, ovate-lanceolate, tomentose
esterually, '75 in. long; male receptacle unknown; female receptacle globular, on a short peduncle,
echinate, sub-hispid; free apices of anthocarps (spines) about -25 in. long, scabrid-hispid; the perforation
for the style rather wide; seeds ovoid, -5 in. long; core woody.
I have seen only two specimens of this; Falconer's consisting only of a leafy twig, and Kui'z's
with a single detached female receptacle. This receptacle is like that of echinata, the leaves however
being different. The species is a good one if the leaves and receptacle belong to the same tree.
Kurz describes it as "an evergreen middle-sized tree."

receptacular scales with flat ciliato lops and stout pedicels: female receptacles echinate, not lobed, about
3 in. in diameter when mature ; the free apices of the anthocarps oylindric-conic, straight, about -25 in. long,
hispid-echinate, the apex perforated for the filiform style; seeds oval, about "5 in, long ; core woody.
Aftor carefully comparing authentic specimens of Blume's rigida with Roxburgh's published description of
echinata aud with his manuscript drawing of that species in the Calcutta Herbarium, I am convinced that
the two aro the same. Rosbui-gh's must therefore give way to the older name of Blume. Specimens
vary considerably as to hairiness, less so as to form of lenf. Some have the under sm-f¡ice cf the leaves,
the petioles and peduncles, densely tomentose-hispid, wliile others are nearly glabrous. Some of the
Perak: specimens have the leaves obovate, while the leaves of Forbes's and Scorteehini's specimens [Herb.
Scort. 1979) have acute apices. The specimens issued by Wallich {Cat. 4658) as evhinata, Roxb. consist
]iaiily of Artocnrpus Gomeüana, Wall., and of leaves of Ficm callosa, Willd., with loose receptacles of
Ariocarpits echinata, Roxb.

This is a superb tree ; the male receptacles are cream-coloured, the female yellow. The latter
often split at the apex when dry. When immature the core is woody.
