COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 129 
Stem about 4 mm. in diameter, with a light brown longitudinally striated cortex. 
Leaves when dry greyish-green, somewhat bilaterally asymmetrical; lateral nerves ` 
about 20 pairs, more prominent on the lower side; petioles stout, shallowly channelled 
above, tawny pubescent, but some glabrous, about 4 em. long, though usually shorter. 
Filaments inserted at 5 mm. from the mouth of the tube, much flattened, about 2:5 mm. 
long; anthers slightly more than 2 mm. in length. 
Apparently close to C. trachycaulis, Schlechter. Although the flowers are all 
detached, they are most probably, like those of C. trachycaulis, axillary and solitary 
(possibly sometimes binate), and have but a very short pedicel, though not one of the 
flowers shows the latter. Besides the hairy stem C. trachycaulis has somewhat different 
leaves and larger flowers.
