COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 135 



L. inctiri-a, D. Don (i. e. L. lujalina, Nees), but the shorter spikes and the different and 

 nearly glabrous bracts, bracteoles and calyces atford an easy means of distinguishing 

 the present species. 



Graptophylltjm pubiflouum, S. Moore, sp. nov. 



Frutex verisimiliter. Rami aliquanto compressi, ad nodos tumidi, puberuli, mox 

 glabri. Folia ampla, elliptica, longiuscule necnon latiusc;ile cuspidato-acuminata, 

 obtusa, basi in petioluni sensim desinentia, membranacea, utrinque glabra, usque 

 ad 20x65-8 cm., summum -vero circa 15x4 cm. Flores in racemos sat longos 

 terminales vel ex axillis sum mis oriundos ita pseudothyrsum pubescentem summum 

 18 cm. longum, sed interdum breviorem efficientes digesti. Bractece bracteolseque 

 lineari-subulatge, pubescentes, illoe + 4 mm., hjB 2-3 mm. longte. Calycis segmenta 

 inter sese subaequalia, lineari-oblonga, acuta vel breviter acuminata, pubeseentia, 

 8 X 1-1"25 ram. Corolla extus (prsesertim basin versus) glanduloso-pubescens ; tubus 

 in dimidio superiore amplilicatus necnon parum incurvus, postice aliqviantulum 

 incrassatus, 34 mm. longus ; lobi postici ceteris similes, nisi paullo minores, 

 8 X 4'5 mm. Anthene breviter exsertse, sagittata?, apice acutpe. Stanmwdia 

 abbreviata, clavata. Ovarium anguste ovoideo-oblongura, glabrum, 2*5 mm. longum. 

 Stylus inclusus, pilosus, ovario aequilongus. 

 Camps I to III, 500 to 2500 ft. 

 Leaves dark olive-green above when dry and bright green below ; petioles broad, 



running indistinguishably into the base of the leaf, 1-2 cm. long. Corollas white 



spotted with mauve. Filaments inserted just below the mouth of the corolla, glabrous, 



S mm. long, with anthers half that length. 



A rather unsatisfactory specimen at Kew, collected by Sir W. MacGregor on Mount 



Seratchley, may perhaps be conspecitic with this, though its leaves are considerably 



smaller. The chief points about G. pubiflorum are the large leaves and the hairy 



corollas with short lobes, only a little unlike each other.
