liberis, imo 2-lobatis, apice acuminatis ; disco adnato; ovariis 2 acute oblongis, quam sepala paullo 
longioribus, striatis ; stylo filiformi; clavuncula incrassata, oblonga, 5-sulcata ; stigmatibus 2 subu- 
latis. In Guiana: v. s. in hb. Mus. Brit. (Sagot 388). 
A species very distinct from 4. Meyeri; it resembles Peschiera diversifolia in its 
lanceolate leaves, but differs in its longer petioles and in its inflorescence. Its axils are 
13 in. apart; the leaves in each pair are respectively 3 and 1 in. long, 8 and 4 lines broad, 
on petioles 4 and 2 lines long; the peduncle is 4 lines long, its branches somewhat longer, 
each bearing about 6 bracteolated pedicels 3 lines long; sepals acute, submembrana- 
ceous, 1 line long; tube of corolla 8 lines long; its segments oblong, obtusely pointed, 
5 lines long, 2 lines broad. 
A figure of this species, and an analysis of its flower, are shown in Plate XI. B.

An undescribed species, with the nodes of its branchlets 13-13 in. apart; leaves 
3-51 in. long, 1-2 in. broad, on petioles 3-5 lines long; peduncle 6 lines long, cicatrized 
from the base, bearing towards the summit few alternate pedicels 4 lines long; sepals 
1i line long; tube of corolla 11 lines long; segments 9 lines long, 24 lines broad; 
2 oblong ovaries embraced for half their length by a tubular hyaline disk, scarcely dis- 
tinguishable; style very slender, 7 lines long. 
4. ANARTIA WULFSCHLÆGELII, nob.: Tabernemontana Wulfschlegelü, Griseb. Fl. Br. W. Ind. p. 409. 
Jamaica (Wulfschlegel) : non vidi. 
A tortuous shrub, with subquadrangular branchlets marked below with annular nodes 
where the leaves have fallen off; leaves in unequal pairs, oblong or lanceolate-oblong, 
acute at the base, with an obtuse acumen, nerves somewhat distant, arcuately conjoined, 
pairs 2 and 5 in. long, 3-14 in. broad, on petioles 3-8 lines long, conjoined across the 
node by a transverse ridge; raceme lateral, a little longer than the petiole; sepals 3 line 
long, roundish ; tube of corolla 4 lines long ; segments obliquely ovate-oblong, obtuse, a 
little shorter than the tube; stamens inserted in the middle of the tube ; anthers 2 lines 
long; disk scarcely discernible. ; 
A species evidently near the preceding.
