plish, solitary, axillary, their pedicels about 7 mm long, the 
bracts small or wanting. Calyx divided nearly to the base into 
5, linear-oblong, obtuse lobes, the lobes about 6 mm long, 0.7 
mm wide. Corolla narrowly funnel-shaped, somewhat enlarged 
upward, obscurely 2-lipped, the lobes broadly rounded, quite 
glabrous, 1 cm long. Ovary narrowly oblong, glabrous, 1.5 
mm long, narrowed upward into the 5 mm long style. Stamens 
included, the staminodes inserted higher up than the stamens.

Escritor, August 2, 1918. . 
A species well characterized by its very small size, the entire plant 
not exceeding 4 cm in height. Other striking characters are its solitary, 
pedicelled flowers, and its sessile ternate and opposite sessile leaves. 
DICHROTRICHUM Reinwardt 
DICHROTRICHUM PAUCIFLORUM sp. nov. 
Suffrutex epiphyticus, scandens, plus minusve setoso-hirsutus ; 
foliis longe petiolatis, ellipticis, usque ad 13 cm longis, 7 cm 
latis, basi acutis, apice breviter obtuse acuminatis, nervis utrin- 
que circiter 7; inflorescentiis axillaribus, brevibus, paucifloris ; 
floribus circiter 3 cm longis, extus setoso-hirsutis. 
An epiphytic, sparingly branched suffrutescent vine, the stems 
terete, somewhat fleshy when fresh, glabrous, emitting numerous 
roots along the side next to the supporting plant, glabrous, 
light-gray when dry, the apical parts more or less setose-hirsute. 
Leaves elliptic, 10 to 13 cm long, 5.5 to 7 cm wide, chartaceous, 
olivaceous, the base acute, the apex shortly and obtusely acum- 
inate, margins irregularly and doubly toothed, the teeth small, 
both surfaces with more or less scattered, long, stiff, white, 
jointed, setose-hirsute hairs especially along the midrib and 
lateral nerves, similar hairs also on the petioles and the in- 
florescence; lateral nerves about 7 on each side of the mid- 
rib, rather prominent on the lower surface, curved-ascending; 
petioles 4 to 6 cm long, when young densely setose-hirsute, 
less so when old. Inflorescence axillary, few-flowered, setose- 
hirsute, including the prominent flowers 4 cm long or less, the 
flowers subfascicled or arranged on a very short peduncle. 
Flowers up to 5 in each axil, but one or two opening at the same 
time, red, their pedicels 3 to 4 mm long, setose. Sepals 5, 
oblong-obovate to oblong-oblanceolate, 1.2 to 1.5 cm long, 3 to 4 
mm wide, obtuse or acute, irregularly and rather prominently 
toothed, dorsally setose-hirsute with long stiff hairs. Corolla 
about 3 cm long, somewhat curved, externally somewhat setose- 
hirsute, the mouth very oblique, lobes broadly rounded. Fila-
