504 MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON CYRTANDRACEE MALAYENSES. 
Stigma clavatum truncatum. Capsula brevis, crassa, fusiformis, 
3 poll. longa. 
Legeh (Machado). 
I have only seen dried specimens of this. It is allied to 
D. flammea, Ridl., and from the same locality, but has smaller 
glabrous flowers, and shorter and thicker capsules. The leaves 
are also toothed, and usually sprinkled over with coarse hairs, 
while the petiole and midrib are covered with red hairs. The 
flowers look as if they had been purple.

A very fine plant with large purple flowers, more compact 
and leafy than the preceding ones.
