Hab. Manokoeari, forest edge, track to Ambani, 100’. Fr. Jan. 6213. 
Plant 5 m. high. Leaves 3 m. long, 13 cm. wide at the base, 6 cm. 
wide about the middle; teeth 1°5-2 mm. long. Syncarp 4 dm. long, 
1 dm. in greatest diameter, core up to 5 em. in diameter ; peduncle 3°7 dm. 
long. Drupes 1°8-2-1 em. long, 4-5 mm. thick, upper free part about

From the description evidently near P. Englerianum Martelli from Neu- 
Mecklenburg, which, however, has a much larger trigonous syncarp, scarlet 
drupes, and a discoid stigma. The synearp of our species is described as of 
a uniform chocolate-brown colour. 
This plant has been named in honour of Mr. (now Capt.) Tabbers, Acting 
Assistant Resident at Manokoeari, to whose ready help, practical experience, 
and judgment Miss Gibbs was much indebted during her stay.
