COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 113 
segmenta triangulari-deltoidea, obtusa, circa 1 mm. longa. Corolla pro rata 
submediocris, rotata, tubo 2:5 mm. longo; paullo ultra medium divisa, extus et prope 
basin intus glabra; lobi deltoidei, acuti, extus glabri, intus presertim margines 
versus subtiliter pubescentes, 3:5 mm. longi. Corona crassiuscula; phylla 
horizontalia, apice truncata gynostegioque incumbentia, superne oblonga, medio 
plana, postice rotundato-truncata, 2:5 cm. longa, lateribus oblongis crassiusculis. 
Pollinia oblongo-pyriformia, obtusa; glandula minuta, caudiculis equilonga. 
Camps III to IV, 2100 to 2500 ft. 
Leaves apparently pale green in the fresh state, much discoloured when dry and 
sometimes almost white, nervation indistinct on either side; petioles 8-10 mm. long, 
somewhat fleshy, channelled and microscopically puberulous on the upper side. 
Flowers rather more than 1 cm. in diameter when expanded. Leaves of corona reaching, 
when the corolla is pressed out, almost to the sinuses of the lobes. Pollinia 3 mm., 
gland 0'1 mm. long. 
This is evidently near H. chloroleuca, Schlechter, judging from the description in 
Engler, Jahrb. 1. (1913) p. 121, the leaves and the corona being the chief points of 
difference. Named in compliment to Dr. Schlechter, who has done such valuable 
work, both as collector and author, upon the Papuan flora. 
The material consists of a shoot bearing leaves and a single peduncle from which the 
flowers have become detached. In a capsule accompanying these are 13 flowers, all 
seemingly derived from the single inflorescence secured.
