MR, L. V. LESTER-GARLAND: A REVISION 



rocoo'nisablc by the long calyx, the short dark brown hairs o£ the inflorescence, 

 and the corlacoon.^, nct-veinod loaves. As has been already said, Harms' 

 prop()S(vl section Marrohapliia can hardly be maintained as o£ equal value with 

 Bradeolaria and Delarla^ and the character upon Avhich it is formed — the 

 sizi^ and distinctn(\'<s o£ the calyx-teeth — is not confined to this species, but is 

 often obsorvabl(^ in otluu^s to a o;reater or less deiiree.

 There are three sheets at Kcw of Mann's gatheriji<^' of this fine species, 

 which does not seem to have been found since his time.

 shape, pointed instead of obtuse, and the leaves are smaller and proportionately 

 broader.

 Tlic filaments arc described as " cinoreo-pilosa " (!), but nothing is said about 

 the filaments in the description of longipetiolata. Schweinfurth's luimbers 

 aro both at Kcw. The size of the flowers is certainly roinarkablo.
