Cyetandra {^ DissiMiLES ?) coNsiMiLis, S. Moore, sp. nov. 



Folia amj)la, breviter petiolata, oblongo-obovata, prope apicem acuminata, apice 

 obtusa, basin versus cuneatim augustata, basi obtusa, margine dentata, in triente 

 proximal! Integra, pergamacea, glabra, circa 20x5-6 cm. Flores fasciculati, 3-ni 

 (an semper ?) ; j)edunculus vel summum brevissimus ; pedicelli calyci suboeqvii- 

 longi, teuues, minute puberuli, + 10 mm. longi. Calyo: tubuloso-camjaanulatus, 

 glaber, 10*5 mm. longus, breviter lateque 5-dentatus, dentibus obtusis summum 

 1 mm. longis. Corolla extus glabra, 23 mm. longa ; tubus ex calyce breviter 

 emergens, subrectus, subcylindricus, 12 mm. longus ; limbi lobi postici antico 

 multo breviores, 2 mm longi. Stamina breviter exserta ; antherae apice cohserentes, 

 cito liberae. Staminoclia 0. Ocarium oblongo-ovoidevim, glabrum, 4 mm. longum, 

 stylo glabro satis valido 10 mm. longo terminatum. 

 Camp VI ffl, 3100 ft. 

 Leaves with the two halves somewhat unsymmetrical, drying pale brown above and 



greenish below ; lateral nerves about 12 pairs, nervation seen best on the lower side ; 



petioles 5-7 mm. long, thick, transversely corrugated, glabrous or nearly so. Filaments 



9 mm. long; anthers 2 mm. 



The material consisting only of detached leaves and flowers, the section to which it 



belongs must remain doubtful. In foliage this is much like the last described, but the 



floral difi'erences are too great to warrant its being considered a mere variety.
