COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GTJINEA. 113 



segmenta triangulari-deltoidea, obtusa, circa 1 mm. longa. Corolla pro rata 

 suhmediocris, rotata, tubo 2'5 mm. longo, paullo ultra medium divisa, extus et prope 

 basin intus glabra ; lobi deltoidei, acuti, extus glabri, intus praesertim margines 

 versus subtiliter pubesceutes, 3"5 mm. longi. Corona crassiuscula ; phylla 

 horizontalia, apice truncata gynostegioque incumbentia, superne oblonga, medio 

 plana, postice rotundato-trancata, 2'5 cm. longa, lateribus oblongis crassiusculis. 

 Polliiiia oblongo-pyriformia, obtusa ; glandula minuta, caudiculis aequilonga. 

 Camps III to IV, 2100 to 2500 ft. 

 Leaves apparently pale green in the fresh state, mucb discoloured when dry and 



sometimes almost white, nervation indistinct on eitber side ; petioles 8-10 mm. long, 



somewhat fleshy, channelled and microscopically puberulous on the upper side. 



Flowers rather more than 1 cm. in diameter when expanded. Leaves of corona reaching, 



when the corolla is pressed out, almost to the sinuses of the lol)es. Pollinia 3 mm., 



gland O'l mm. long. 



This is evidently near H. chloroleuca, Schlechter, judging from the description in 



Engler, Jabrb. 1. (1913) p. 121, the leaves and the corona being the chief points of 



difference. Named in compliment to Dr. Schlechter, who has done such valuable 



work, both as collector and author, upon the Papuan flora. 



The material consists of a shoot bearing leaves and a single peduncle from which the 



flowers have become detached. In a capsule accompanying these are 13 flowers, all 



seemingly derived from the single inflorescence secured.
