JESCHYNANTHUS (9 HAPLOTRICHIUM) BRACHYPHYLLUS, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Caulis tenuis, rariramosus, hac atque illac radicans, bene foliosus, appresse pubescens. 
Folia opposita, parvula, subsessilia, ovata, obtusa, basi rotundata, firme mem- 
branacea, costa media in pagina inferiore pubescente exempta glabra, modice 
10-13x5-8 mm. Flores inter minores, in axillis solitarii. Pedicelli ex axillis 
oppositis seepe oriundi, quam folia paullo breviores, dense pubescentes, 5-8 mm. 
longi. Calyx alte partitus, 7-8 mm. longus; segmenta linearia, obtusa, extus 
puberula. Corolla extus scabriuscula, 30-32 mm. longa; tubus suberectus, 
elongatus, basi brevissime dilatatus, inde gradatim amplificatus, basi 2:5 mm., 
medio 4 mm., faucibus 6 mm. latus; labia valde abbreviata; antici lobi posticis 
plane majores, verisimiliter erecti vel breviter divaricati. Stamina subinclusa. 
Ovarium stipitatum, lineare, incluso stipite 2 cm, longo ut stylus brevis vix 3 mm. 
longus subtiliter pubescens. Capsula glabra, 11 cm. long. 
Camps VI a, VIII, and IX, 3100 to 5500 ft. 
Stems slender, often not more than 1 mm. thick, never exceeding 1:5 mm., giving 
off here and there, but very seldom, close to an internode a thickish, corky, apparently 
unbranched root. Leaves green above, very pale below, their margins, at least in the | 
dry state, somewhat wavy and recurved ; petioles 1 mm. in length. 
To be inserted in the genus next Æ. nummularius, K. Schum., from which it differs 
chiefly in the diversely shaped, not fleshy, nearly glabrous leaves, longer calyx-segments, 
and the absence of a prominent gibbosity at the base of the corolla. A slightly different 
form with relatively longer and narrower leaves (14-18x5-7 mm.) was collected at 
Camp VI a at 3100 ft. : 
The present opportunity is taken to point out that in the description of ZEschynanthus 
nummularius (as Trichosporum nummularium) in Journ. Bot. xxxvii. (1899) p. 173, the 
word “ miniatis " is a mistake for * imminutis." 
JESCHYNANTHUS (0 HAPLOTRICHIUM) SUBORBICULATUS, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Rami satis validi, 2-8 mm. diam. subdistanter foliosi, patule pubescentes. Folia 
breviter petiolata, suborbiculata, breviter cuspidulato-attenuata, apice ipso obtusa, 
basi cordata, carnosa, supra in sicco glabra foveolato-rugosaque, subtus appresse 
piloso-pubescentia, 5x4 em. Pedicelli calyce longiores, ut calyx pubescentes, 
13-15 mm. longi. Calyx alte partitus, 8 mm. longus; segmenta lineari-oblonga, 
obtusa, 3-nervia. Corolla extus scabriusculo-papillosa, 45 mm. longa; tubus 
40 mm. longus, ima basi inflatus, cito constrictus, inde dilatatus, medio 12 mm., 
faucibus 19 mm. latus; limbi brevis lobi 7-10 mm. longi, ommes verisimiliter 
erecti. Stamina breviter exserta. Ovarium lineare, minute furfuraceum, 15 mm. 
longum, stipite pubescente 4 mm. longo fultum; stylus crassus, ovario fere 
vquilongus, sparsim pilosus, 12 mm. longus. 
Camp I, 500 ft. i 
Leaves pale brown on both sides in the dry state; midrib prominent below; petioles 
5 mm. long or less, hairy. Differs from Æ. ellipticus, Lauterb. & K. Schum,, in the
