134 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE 
obtegente, utraque alabastrum ante anthesin includente, per an- 
thesin persistentes patentes. Pedicelli brevissimi v. vix ulli. Flores 
ampli. Calyx 5-fidus, rufo-pubescens, glandulis 14 lin. longis laci- 
nias fere obtegentibus. Petala ineequalia, majora 5 lin. longa, lata, 
concava, margine fimbriata. Stamina glabra ; filamenta crassa, basi 
coalita; antheræ ovate, quarum aliæ (5 ? v. 7?) minores, connectivo 
crasso glanduliformi loculos tamen haud superante, aliæ (5? v. 3?) 
majores, connectivo magno loculos parvos duplo fere superante. 
Ovaria pubescentia fere distincta, singula dorso cristis 5 longitu- 
dinaliter aucta, quarum 2 (inter marginales et dorsalem mediz,) 
minus prominulæ nec ad apicem ovarii attingunt. Styli erecti, 
inferne valde incrassati, apice truncati. Fructus deest. 
Notwithstanding the appearance of the ovary, I have much hesi- 
tation in placing this fine species in Tefrapterys without having seen 
the fruit ; as the inflorescence and stamens present several peculiari- 
ties, which I have not observed in any other species of the genus.

quebo, Schomb. lst Col. n. 197. A twiner, agreeing well with the 
descriptions, except that the difference of colour in the two surfaces 
of the leaf is not so striking as it is probably in the original 
specimens.
