Dr. Hooker identiiies this species with his /. theicfoUa, but in this he is in error, 

 his new species dilfering greatly, not (mly in the texture and polish of the leaves, but 

 still more so in the inflorescence, doubly larger flowers, and very long pedicels ; in my 

 species they are only about ^V line long (Kui-z).
