texture, green on both surfaces, with ascending main veins dis- 
tinct from midrib to margin 4—4 in. apart. Flowers in lax 
sessile terminal panicles about as long as the leaves, shortly 
pedicellate in sparse umbellate cymes at the end of the branches. 
Ovary globose, 2-celled ; calyx-limb campanulate, 4 in. long and 
broad, obscurely 5-toothed. Corolla white, fragrant, with a 
cylindrical tube about an inch long, and five lingulate segments, 
3 in. long. Anthers 5, lanceolate, ;'; in. long, sessile at the 
glabrous throat of the corolla-tube. Style protruded 2 in. from 
the calyx, with two short subulate stigmatose branches. Fruit 
not seen. 
Hab. Island of Taviuni, in shady forests, Horne 1137. Named 
after the proprietor of the estate on which it was found. 
Hypnoruytum WirkiNsoxir (Horne, ‘A Year in Fiji, p. 263). 
Fruticosum, glabrum, caule basi tuberoso formicibus excavato, ramulis 
tetragonis, stipulis minutis, foliis parvis obovato-oblongis obtusis brevis- 
sime petiolatis, floribus ad axillas foliorum fasciculatis subsessilibus, ovario 
campanulato biloculari, calycis limbo parvo campanulato obscure dentato, 
fructu subdeltoideo compresso, pyrenis 2 osseis oblongis. 
An epiphytic shrub, glabrous in all its parts, with the base of 
the stem dilated into a large tuber and used as a nest by small 
black ants, the branchlets slender and distinctly 4-angled. Leaves 
nearly sessile, thick and rather fleshy in texture, obtuse, cuneate 
at the base,? to 1 in. long. Flowers in copious sessile fasci- 
cles in the axils of the leaves. Ovary campanulate. Calyx-limb 
collar-like, with 5 very minute teeth. Corolla only seen in the 
bud stage. Fruit subdeltoid, 4 in. long and broad, containing 
2 oblong bony one-seeded pyrenes, which only just touch one 
another, and are not at all flattened at the point of contact, but 
quite orbieular in transverse section, so that the fruit is twice as 
thick in one diameter as the other.

Fruticosum, ramulis scabris subtetragonis, stipulis minutis, foliis petiolatis 
oblanceolato-oblongis acutis basi attenuatis, floribus axillaribus sessilibus 
fasciculatis, ovario globoso 4-loculari, calycis limbo campanulato subintegro, 
corolle segmentis 4 oblongo-lanceolatis quam tubus longioribus, fructu 
globoso haud compresso, pyrenis 4 lateribus interioribus angulatis. 
A shrub, with shorter branchlets than in H. Wilkinsoni, with
