Sc^voLA "WoLLASTONii, "Wernham, sp. nov. 



Manmli teretes, striati, sparse et obscure pubescentes, virgati. Folia chartacea, 

 opposita, elliptica, ca. 8 cm. X 3'5 cm., acuminata, utrinque subacuta, utrinque nisi 

 hie inde prsesertim in costa media obscure puberula vel hirtella, glabra, margine 

 interdum hie inde irregulariter acute denticulata ; in axillis barbellata ; vense 

 prominulae, secundarise utrinque ca. 6-8 ; petiolus brevissimus. Mores in cymis 

 lasiusculis subapjiresse pubescentibus ; pedunculi 1-2 axillares, 1-5-2 cm. longi ; 

 bractese parvae, lanceolatae, basi barbellatse. Cali/cis dentes breves, lanceolati, 

 obtusi, mox reflexi. Corollm extra sparsiuscule puberulse tubus ad 8-9 mm. 

 longus, tandem ad basin fissus, intus ad basin dense flavo-hirsutus ; lobi lineari- 

 oblongi, obtusi, conspicue membranaceo-alati, tubum fere sequantes. Capsula 

 oblanceolata, 7-8 mm. longa, glabrescens. 

 Camps I to III, VI b. III to VIII, 500 to 4900 ft. 

 Allied to Sc. novoguineensis, K. Schum., but differing in the almost glabrous leaves 



with subacute base, the shorter peduncle, and the conspicuous wings to the corolla-lobes. 



In one specimen, collected at Camp VI b, the leaves are more markedly acuminate than 



in the rest ; it may be a variety.
