AEQUATORIALES—AMPLECTENTES 75 
petioled, somewhat clasping, finely about 5-nerved. Spikes mostly elus- 
tered, long (40, becoming 75 mm.), with half a dozen rather slender ob- 
long joints some 20- to 40-flowered in 6 series: peduncle 2 mm. long: 
scales rather truncate, evanescently ciliolate. Fruit ?.—Plate 96.

Phorandendron amplectens n. sp. 
More or less pseudodichotomous, the long branches with basal cata- 
phyls only, dioecious?. Internodes long (4-7x60-75 mm. or more, the

basal, tubular. Leaves more or less faleately broadly lanceolate or ob- 
lanceolate, very obtuse, 2.5-5x7-10 or 15 em., somewhat evidently 5- or 
7-nerved, euneately contracted for 15 or 20 mm. into а subpetiolar base 
4-5 mm. wide, which is abruptly dilated and clasping. Spikes mostly 
clustered, rather long (30, lengthening to 50 mm.), with about 5 rather 
slender joints turbinately 30- to 50-flowered in 6 series: peduncle 3 mm. 
long: scales subtruncate, scarcely ciliate. Fruit (immature) subglobose, 
smooth, 3 mm. in diameter: sepals closely inflexed.—Plate 95.

Seareely forked, the elongated branches with basal cataphyls only, 
dioerious?. Internodes rather long (3-5x30-100 mm.), rather transiently

mm. higher, tubular, white-margined. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, obtusely 
somewhat acuminate, 2.5-4x7-10 em., scarcely nerved, euneately sessile.
