ungue 1 lin. longo, 2 exteriora elliptica, 10 lin. longa, 4 lin. lata, 3 interiora lineari-

basin versus, fulvo-pilosula. Stamina fertilia 3; filamenta circa 8 lin., anthers 5-6 
lin. longee; staminodía 2, multo breviora. Ovarium dense fulvo-pilosum, breviter et 
crasse stipitatum, in stylum vix angustiorem sub anthesi duplo longiorem abiens,

nentibus, venis transversalibus utrinque circiter 15, in vetustioribus sspe supra
