Lettsomia longifolia, Coll. et Hemsl., n. sp. 
Frutex volubilis, parce strigosus, ramulis graciliusculis. Folia 
graciliter petiolata, papyracea, anguste oblongo-lanceolata, absque 
petiolo usque ad 8 poll. longa, acuminata, basi rotundata vel sub- 
cuneata, supra preter costam strigosam glabra, subtus pallidiora, 
undique parce strigosa, venis primariis paucis inconspicuis ; 
petiolus 6-9 lineas longus. Flores in cymas parvas (2-5-floras) 
axillares breviter pedunculatas conspicue bracteatas dispositi; 
bracteæ foliaceæ, oblongo-lanceolatæ, 12-15 lineas longe, obtuse, 
atro-rubentes, subtus strigose ; sepala fructifera oblongo-orbicu- 
laria, fere semipollicaria, rigida, airo-rubentia, glabra ..... 
Fructus baccatus, unicus examinatus 2-spermus; semina nigra, 
compressa, circiter 3 lineas diametro, glabra.

In general appearance this most nearly resembles Lettsomia 
barbata, Clarke, which, however, has long linear bracts. 
We have followed Bentham and Hooker's * Genera Plantarum ” 
in retaining Lettsomia, though we believe it must eventually be 
again reduced to Argyreia.
