disco plane annulari, intus in urceolam erectam crenulatam producto, vertice hinc 
profunde cavato, stylo subulato glabro sepalisque coronato, 2-loculari, ovulis in 
quoque loculo 2 suspensis. In Insulis Navigatorum: v. s. in hb. Hook. Falaga, 
Samoa (Powell 46). : 
A species remarkable for the semiagglutination of two of its four sepals, which are rather 
larger and thicker than usual in the genus ; this seems to be a constant character, and 
apparently occurs in the following species from the neighbouring island of New Caledonia. 
The leaves, approximated on the branchlets, are 43-7} in. long, 2-22 in. broad, on petioles 
3—4 lines long: the slender terminal rachis is gradually bent till it becomes pendulous, 
is 20 in. long; the flowers are 1-5 lines apart, on spreading pedicels 2 lines long; the 
sepals are 3 lines long, the style 24 lines long; the petals and stamens are all fallen off.
