Dolichostegia Schitr., gen. nov. 
This remarkable genus at first sight makes rather the impression of a 
Dischidia, but as we will see presently it is generically well distinguished. 
Dolichostegia Schltr., gen. nov. 
Calyx alte 5-partitus, foliolis ovatis, obtusis, minute pilosis, pro 
longitudine floris parvulus. Corolla cylindraceo-tubulosa, basin versus 
paululo ampliata, extus glabra, intus ostio anulo pilorum deflexorum bar- 
bellata, lobis ovatis obtusis, apice intus incrassatis. Gynostegium breviter 
stipitatum, cylindraceum, altum. Coronae foliola tubo stamineo ad basin 
antherarum affixa, spatulata, medium gynostegii haud excedentia. Antherae 
anguste trapezoideae, appendice hyalina spathulata perlonga.  Pollinia 
clavata erecta tenuissime stipitata, translatoribus subnullis, retinaculo 
minuto rhomboideo, Stigmatis caput cylindraceo-elongatum. : 
Planta epiphytica habitu omnino Dischidiae; ramis filiformibus carno- 
sulis, laxe foliatis; foliis petiolatis, ovatis carnosulis, patulis; cymis 
peduneulatis, parte florifero incrassato abbreviato; floribus illis Dischidiae 
extus bene similibus. 
Speeies singula adhue nota philippinensis. 
The genus is doubtlessly allied to Dischidia but generically well 
distinguished by the stipitate gynostegium, the form of the corona scales. 
the long anther appendages and last not least by the pollinaria. In all 
Dischidias the translatores are flattened, more or less oblanceolate and often 
longer than the pollinia. Here they are allmost alltogether suppressed 
and instead the pollinia at base prolonged into an allmost fili formstipes.
