 tenuis, 1-2 cm. longus, nonnunquam longior. Injloreseentia ab apice pcdunculi 

 + 5 cm. longi 3-brachiata; bracbia primaria sinuata, glabra, 3-4 cm. longa; 

 cymulse laxi- necnon pauci-florse. Pedicelli + 5 mm. longi, cum calyce appresse 

 Lirtelli. Calyx 2 mm. longus, fere ad medium in lobos 5 triangulares latos divisus.

 lanceolati, suberecti, subacuti, ca. 2'3 mm. longi. 



Camps I to III, and VI h, 500 to 2500 and 3900 ft. 



" Flowers pale mauve " {Kloss). 



Neowollastonia, Wernbam. Apocynacearum e tribu Plumeriearum 



novum genus. 



Calyx ad basin 5-partitus, glandulosus ; lobi obtusi, imbricati. Corollce bypocrateri- 

 formis tubus rectus, subcylindricus, ad stamina vel insuper parum dilatatus, intus 

 in staminum regione pilosus ; lobi valde oblique contorti, siuistrorsum obtegentes. 

 Stamina infra tubi medium inserta; antberai sagittatse, acutissimse, basi bilobae, 

 nee appendiculatse. Discus obsoletus. Ovarium integerrimum, biloculare, insuper 

 in stylum brevem angustatum ; stigma fusifoi'me ; ovula in loculis numerosa. 



Fruciiis Folia opjiosita, peuuivenia, lineis prominulis interpetiolaribus 



nonnunquam connata. 

 In the absence of the fruit the actual affinity must remain in some doubt. The plant 

 strongly recalls Ervatamia; but the syncarpous ovary, as in the case of the allied 

 Tabernanthe, excludes it from this genus. Further distinction lies in the absence of 

 intracalycular glands, and in the peculiar corolla-lobes. On the whole it would seem 

 proper to include this genus as a somewhat abnormal member of the JPlumeriece, 

 sub-tribe Tahernce.montanece, on the grounds of general facies, interpetiolar line, etc.
