“? OREOCHARIS FLAVIDA sp. nov. 
Herba perennis, acaulis, petiolis et subtus foliis densissime

taceis vel subcoriaceis, oblongo-ellipticis vel ellipticis, usque ad 
16 cm longis et 7 cm latis, apice rotundatis, basi plerumque 
rotundatis, distincte inaequilateralibus, margine crenatis, supra 
hirsuta, nervis utrinque circiter 6, subobsoletis; petiolo usque 
ad 12 em longo; inflorescentiis folia subaequantibus, pedunculo 
deorsum rufescente lanuginoso, supra subglabro; floribus sub- 
umbellatis, flavidis, circiter 2 cm longis, pedicellis tenuibus, 
circiter 2 cm longis; sepalis lanceolatis, acuminatis, subliberis, 
5 mm longis, ciliato-pilosis; corolla subcylindrica, extus glabra, 
intus leviter pubescens, subaequaliter 5-lobata, lobis suborbicu- 
laris, 6.5 mm longis, leviter ciliatis; filamentis glabris, 6 mm 
longis, antheris horizontaliter dehiscentibus, subhippocrepifor-

Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8598, December 16, 1921. On damp 
rocks on forested slopes, altitude 1,400 meters. 
This species conforms to the characters of Oreocharis in 
habit, appearance, and all other characters except in its some- 
what horseshoe-shaped, horizontally dehiscent anthers, a char- 
acter that might lead some to erect a new genus for this par- 
ticular species. The dense, woolly indumentum entirely covers 
the lower surfaces of the leaves.
