nullae. Folia petiolis subteretibus, supra obsolete v. leviter sulcatis, nervis 
lateralibus utroque latere 12 — 20 subtus prominentibus, sub angulo 45 — 60° 
abeuntibus v. infimis 2 magis arduis, non ramosis, ante marginem interdum 
obsolete conjunctis, margine plana, subcoriacea v. chartaceo-coriacea, supra 
in sicco viridia v. olivacea, sapore camphorae et aetheris (ex Jacgquen.). 
Inflorescentiae terminales, 0,5—1 em. longe pedunculatae; rhachis an- 
gulata squamuloso-tomentosula; bracteae flor. masc. parvae semilunares v. 
breviter triangulares, saepius glandulis stipitatis comitatae, flor. fem. calli- 
formes v. valde abbreviatae. Flores albi (ex Buck, Pic.), masceuli: Sepala 
5 in aestivatione valvata, ovata obtusa v. obtusiuscula, 1,5 mm. longa, 
0,8 mm. lata, chartacea, dorso flavo- v. pallide flavo-tomentosula. Petala 
oblonga, sepala paullo superantia, 1,83—2 mm. longa, ca. 0,5 mm. lata, 
margine infero pilis longiusculis barbata, apice parce pubescentia, caeterum 
glabra, membranacea. Disci glandulae liberae crassiusculae subdidymae. 
Filamenta 1,5—2 mm. longa, basi villosula; antherae in alabastro inflexae, 
breviter rectangulari-ovales, intus dehiscentes. Flores feminei: Sepala 
1—1,3 mm. longa obtusiuscula, posterius non accrescentia, dorso tomentosa. 
Discus annuliformis 5-crenatus v. 5-partitus brevis acalyce subliber. Petala 
(v. staminodia?) parva, sed bene conspicua, apice glanduloso-incrassata. Ova- 
rium sphaeroideum flavido-tomentosum. Styli 1,3— 1,8 mm. longi, dorso

folium e museo britanico examinavi, forma hujus folii cum specie ante-

lateralibus minus numerosis, impressis et in sulco non prominnlis et prae-
