The species nearest to this are ZEsch. parvifolia, R. Br., and 
Teijsmanniana, Miq.; but it differs from both in its very small, 
convex leaves whieh have a pale rose-coloured hue, especially on 
the underside. The specimens having been collected too late, 
all the flowers were faded too much for a perfectly satisfactory 
analysis; but the characters mentioned in the description are 
suffieient to establish a new species.
