—Drummond, coll. vi. n. 194. 
A very remarkable species, resembling H. crassifolia in the leaves, 
which are 13-2 inches long, 7-10 lines broad, but they are horizontal 
(not vertical, as in that species), not quite so thick, nor oblique, with 
a somewhat different nervation.

Allied to H. loranthifolia, crassinervia, and petiolaris, but abundantly 
distinct. Leaves 14—24 inches long, 8-14 lines broad ; capsule an inch 
or more in length.

Approaching H. ulicina and falcata, but differing in the very strong -

5-7 inches long, 2—3 lines broad.
