ribus quam petala lineari-cuneata vix minoribus, starainibus ad petala 

 2-3-nis. — H. fcetido certe affine, sed distinctum videtur. Folia 2-3- 

 pollicaria. Flores sessiliores, tubo longiore, calycis segmentis petalisque 

 post anthesin longioribus et minus inaequalibus. Styli ssepius 4. 

 Hab. Naviti-Leon, one of the Feejee Islands, Milne. This species has 

 quite the shuttle-cock flowers of several of the 1st Section.

 subintegerrimis coriaceis nitidis glabris, floribus pedicellatis 6-7-meris,
