: hairy branches and leaves, the latter organs being larger and thicker in consistence, the 
shorter and broader corollas, etc. The attachment of the flowers to the stem cannot be 
described, as they have all become detached. 
JEscHyNANTHUS (0 HAPLOTRICHTUM) GESNERIFLORUS, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Caulis foliosus, raro radicans. Folia opposita, breviter petiolata, ovato-oblonga, 
apicem versus attenuata, apice ut basi obtusa, margine repando-crenulata, carnosa, 
glabra, 7-8 mm. longa, summum 2:7-3:4 em. lata. Pedunculi brevissimi, biflori, 
ut pedicelli calyce breviores, pubescentes. Calyx alte partitus, brunueo-piloso- 
pubescens; segmenta lineari-lanceolata, obtusiuscula, trinervia, 14-15 mm. longa. 
Corolla longiuscule tubulosa, extus piloso-pubescens, 4 cm. longa; tubus infundi- 
bularis, etsi prope basin inflatus ibique 5°5 mm. latus, superne curvatus, medio 
7 mm., faucibus 13 mm. latus ; labium posticum quam anticum minus; labii antici 
lobi verisimiliter erecti 9X 10 mm. Stamina subinclusa. Ovarium (stipite incluso) 
3 em. longum, lineare, pubescens, stylo 2 mm. longo, basi curvato, stigmate peltato. 
Camps IX to XI, 5500 to 8300 ft. 
Stem 2 mm. thick, somewhat swollen at the nodes, provided with a light brown 
cortex. Neither bracts nor bracteoles seen. Filaments flattened, glandular-puberulous, 
about 15-20 mm. long; anthers 3:5 mm. long. . 
The affinity is with ZZ. longiflorus, DC., which, inter alia, has larger, somewhat 
differently shaped and thicker leaves, and nearly glabrous flowers with linear calyx- 
segments and considerably longer corolla. 
DicHRoTRICHUM CHALMERSII, F. Muell. in Melb. Chem. & Drug., June, 1884. 
Camp I, 500 ft. 
Distrib. Endemic in New Guinea. 
A synonym of this is D. papuanum, S. Moore, in Journ. Bot. 1899, p. 174. . This name 
was published under the mistaken impression that Mueller had described the plant 
under the MS. name accompanying the specimens sent to Kew.
