orem attenuata. 
Kwaneruna: Tai Mo Mountain opposite Hongkong, 2300 
feet (Westland, 92!). Herb. Kew. 
A very distinct species, unlike any other known to me, readily 
distinguished by the triangular-cordate limb of the spathe, when 
flattened out, and long filiform appendix. In the living state 
the form of the spathe would probably be something like that of 
A. nepenthoides, Mart., but with proportionately broader auricles. 
The scapes may be longer than I have described them, as they 
are detached, and there is no tuber.
