114 MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON PLANTS 
From the description, H. exilis, Schlechter, is probably nearest to this; but its larger 
leaves are of thinner texture, the peduncles twice as long or nearly so, the somewhat 
larger corollas having glabrous lobes, and its coronal leaves a different shape. | 
The material consists of a piece of stem 20 cm. long, bearing two pairs of leaves and 
one pedunele. In a capsule are 9 flowers. 
Hoya ($ Eu-Hoya) Krossi, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Caulis volubilis, distanter foliosus, glaber. Folia brevipetiolata, ovata, longiuscule 
caudato-acuminata, apice obtusa, subrotundata, margine recurva, coriacea, glabra, 
pagina utravis nitentia et (presertim in pagina superiore) prominenter reticulato- 
nervosa, 4-6x1:5-2:5 em. Flores inter minores; umbelle verisimiliter circa 
6-flore, pedunculo glabro foliis breviore 23-25 mm. longo insidentes; pedicelli 
filiformes, quam flores manifeste longiores, 18-20 mm. longi. Calycis segmenta 
parvula, ovata, obtusa, glabra, 1 mm. longa. Corolla rotata, usque ad $ divisa, 
crassiuscula, extus leviter piloso-puberula, intus omnimodo puberula; lobi tri- 
angulari-rhombei, acuti, vivi verisimiliter recurvi, 6 mm. longi. Corone phylla 
2 mm. longa, radiatim patentia, apice ipso ascendentia, obtusa, superne elliptica, 
medio late concava, extus obtusissima, lateribus rotundis, crassiuscula. Pollinia 
oblongo-pyriformia, retinaculis perbrevibus glandule parvule lineari adjuncta. 
Camp VI 5, 3900 ft. 
Stems somewhat angular, so far as the material shows, unbranched, about 1:5 mm. in 
diameter. eaves brownish green when dry; reticulum very open; petioles stoutish, 
slightly puberulous, 3-4 mm. long. Flowers when expanded rather more than 1 cm. in 
diameter. Pollinia 0:6 mm. long, gland barely } as long. 
Apparently the place of this is near H. exilis, Schlechter, which has dissimilar leaves, 
much longer peduncles, and flowers in several respects different. 
Hoya ($ PrvsosrELMA) APODA, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Planta scandens, frequenter ramosa. Rami hac atque illac radicantes, sat bene foliosi, 
glabri. Folia breviter petiolata, ovato-oblonga, sursum caudato-acuminata, apice

4-45 cm. lata. Umbelle sessiles, oliganthe. Pedicelli filiformes, floribus certe 
longiores, glabri circa 2 cm. longi. Calycis segmenta oblongo-ovata, obtusa, 
glabra, 1 mm. longa. Corolla ad normam generis mediocris, pansa fere 20 mm. 
diam., late campanulata, ad quartam partem 5-loba, utrinque glabra; lobi tri- 
angulari-deltoidei, obtusiusculi, 4 mm. longi. Corone phylla earnosa, paullum 
ascendentia (vix horizontalia) apice erecta, superne elliptica, medio concava, 
extus obtusa, fere 3 mm. longa, lateribus late oblongis crassiusculis. Pollinia 
ambitu oblonga, utrinque obtusa; caudicule subnulle ; glandula oblonga. 
Canoe Camp, 500 ft. 
A scandent shrub or a subshrub, the freely-produced comparatively slender branches 
occasionally putting out one or more longish, very slender, wiry, seldom-branching | 
rootlets. Leaves very pale when dry, particularly on the under side; midrib impressed 
on the upper, prominent on the lower side; nervation more prominent on the upper
