gynostegio subsessili, coronz lobis duplo breviore; styli apice pentagono, medio 
umbonato; antherarum connectivo apice membranaceo expanso, super stylum 
revoluto, 
The single specimen is 32 in. high; the soft, woody, cylindrical, hollow stem 24 lines 
in diameter for the lower 18 in., tapering gradually above in the flowering portion. 
The leaves are 1-13 in. long and 4-5 lines at the broadest part, with a single prominent 
midrib and spreading lateral veins. The subulate flexible bracts are 2 lines long, the 
flower-pedicels 3-4 lines. The open flower measures nearly 5 lines across; the sepals 
are 1 lines long, the petals 23 lines by 1 broad; the corona-segments 13 lines long, 
with a broad trilobed apex, the lateral lobes being short and rounded, and the central 
one more than twice as long and acute, and exceeding the acute subfalcate 
appendages. —

SCHIZOGLOSSUM BARBATUM, Britten & Rendle, sp. n. Suffrutex caulibus e rhizomate 
crassiusculo ligneo pluribus tenuibus, seepissime simplicibus, puberulis; foliis 
linearibus vel lineari-lanceolatis acutis, subglabris vel sparse puberulis, margine 
revolutis ; inflorescentia umbellis pluribus, terminali; bracteis parvis, filiformibus, 
deciduis ; florum pedicellis tenuibus, puberulis; coroll: rotate lobis anguste ovatis, 
subacutis, reflexis, superne puberulis, dorso glabris ; sepalis subulatis, superne glabris, 
dorso et margine sparse puberulis ; coronæ segmentis planis, intus medio bicarinatis, 
apice in caudam crassam, acuminatam, e flore exsertam productis; gynostegio 
subsessili, styli apice plano pentagono ; antherarum connectivo velut in specie 
preecedente. 
The slender stems are 7-9 in. long, the lower leaves an inch or less in length, the 
upper 2-23 in. The minute filiform bracts are 1 line long, the flower pedicels 3-4 lines. 
The open flower is 3-4 lines across; the sepals 13 lines long, the corolla-lobes 2 lines 
long by 1 line broad. The corona-segments are 2 lines long, the flexuose exserted tails 
often 14 lines. 
This is at once distinguished from the preceding species by its thin stems, narrow leaves, 
and terminal inflorescence, and the shape of the corona-segments with their long and 
conspicuous tails. It seems near SS. elatum, K. Schum. (Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xvii. p. 123), 
judging from the description, but differs in having broader leaves, a terminal 
inflorescence, flowers twice the size, and very long corona-tails.
