2, K. stenoglossa (Schlechter in Engl. Jahrb. xx. Beibl. 51, 40,

rather slender, bifariously puberulous except at the base; leaves 
erect or ascending, 2-32 in. long, 3-1} lin, broad, linear, acute,

5-10-flowered, subglobose ; peduncles 1-5 lin. long; pedicels 13-3 
lin. long; sepals 13 lin. long, 2-3 lin. broad, lanceolate, acute, 
slightly puberulous; corolla-lobes 2-2} lin. long, about 1 lin. broad, 
erect, oblong-lanceolate, subacute, concave at the basal part, convex 
and recurved at the apex, which is minutely papillate on the inner 
face, elsewhere glabrous, yellowish-green (Ars. Barber); corona- 
lobes erect, exserted beyond the corolla, about 25 lin. long and 
3 lin. broad near the base, lanceolate, gradually tapering to a 
subulate incurved-hooked apex, prominently and acutely keeled 
down the back, with a rhomboid expansion on the back at the base, 
flattish or perhaps slightly concave-channelled on the inner face, 
apparently dark purple with whitish margins ; staminal column 
1-12 lin. long; anther-appendages broadly ovate, obtuse or acute, 
erect, with their tips incurved over the margin of the depressed

I follow Schlechter in retaining this as specifically distinct from K. cornicu- 
lata, for although it can scarcely be distinguished by structural characters, yet 
its different appearance, much smaller flowers, longer pedicels and puberulous 
sepals, seem to point to some other difference than is noticeable in dried 
specimens. Harvey (by his quotation of Mrs. Barber, 293, and Gerrard, 1 
evidently considered both to belong to one species. In appearance K. steno- 
glossa is exactly like Xysmalobium carinatum, N. E. Br., and Schizoglossum 
periglossoides, and dried specimens can, scarcely be distinguished from each 
other, except by dissecting the flowers. 
XVI. SCHIZOGLOSSUM, E. Meyer. 
Calyx 5-partite. Corolla deeply 5-lobed, often nearly to the 
base, rotate, reflexed, or the lobes campanulately spreading or erect, 
or rarely connate at the tips, overlapping in bud. Corona of 5 lobes 
arising from the staminal column opposite the anthers, erect, dorsally 
flattened, usually thin, at least in dried flowers, rarely ‘very thick 
and fleshy, never complicate, but.sometimes with slightly infolded 
margins, often produced into a subulate or filiform point at the apex,
