 Canoe Camp, 500 ft. 



Cymes with very flexuous branches. Bracts linear, + 5 mm. long. Flowers 

 brownish red, on pedicels 5 mm. long or sometimes less. Gynostegiimi rather more 

 than 2 mm. long. JPolUnia 0"5 mm., gland 0"2 mm. long. Ilarsdenia paiyiiana, 

 Sclilechter, to which this is evidently allied, is described as haviug smaller leaves soltly 

 pubescent above and villous-hairy below, villous inflorescences, flowers with a smaller 

 densely villous calyx, a corolla 3 mm. long, and a shorter gynostegium. 



Stephanotis, sp. nov. A small fragment consisting of a piece of a slender stem, a 

 sparsely pubescent peduncle 5"5 cm. in length, and three flowers on filiform pedicels 

 rather more than 1 cm. long. The segments of the calyx are 2 mm. long, and linear 

 lanceolate. The pale primrose corolla is 18 mm. long, with a 6 mm. long tube and 

 broadly linear reflexed lobes which are 12 mm. long. 



Camp III, 2500 ft. 



Schlechter has described (under Ilarsdenia) two Papuan species of this genus, both 

 entirely diff"erent from the one under notice.
