crassiore, vix superne latior; limbi laciniz 4 lin. longz, ob- 
longe, obtuse, albide, extus virescentes, estivatione valde 
imbricata. Anthere ad faucem subsessiles, lineares, lacinias 
subequantes. Stylus breviter exsertus, superne leviter in- 
crassatus. Ovarium 2-loculare, ovulis in quoque loculo 6,

presso-globosa.
