COLLECTED IX DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 129 



Stem about 4 mm. in diameter, with a light brown longitudinally striated cortex. 

 Leaves when dry greyish-green, somewhat bilaterally asymmetrical ; lateral nerves 

 about 20 pairs, more j^rominent on the lower side ; petioles stout, shallowly channelled 

 above, tawny pubescent, but some glabrous, about 4 cm. long, though usually shorter. 

 Filaments inserted at 5 mm. from the mouth of the tube, much flattened, about 2-5 mm. 

 long ; anthers slightly more than 2 mm. in length. 



Apparently close to C. trachi/caidis, Schlechter. Although the flowers are all 

 detached, they are most probably, like those of C. tracliycaulis, axillary and solitary 

 (possibly sometimes binate), and have but a very short pedicel, though not one of the 

 flowers shows the latter. Besides the hairy stem C. trachtjcaulis has somewhat different 

 leaves and larger flowers.
