A plant of Mr. White's from the Mekeo district (No. 7fi6) is to 

 be referred to this. It has lanceolate leaves, mostl}^ 9-10 X 2-5-3"5 

 cm., but in all other points agrees well with the type except for the 

 seeds, which are pale in colour and somewhat larger. 



So far as concerns the flowers and judging from the description, 

 this would seem to agree in most details with P. i^eJutinum Lindau ; 

 but the indumentum of this latter and its inflorescence are quite 

 different.

Caulis internodia (pauea superiora solum obvia) 2-2-5 cm. long. 

 Folia usque ad 215 x 10 cm., summa vero minora, e.g. 12x5 cm.; 

 costse laterales utrinque 9-10, pag. inf. magis a.'^j^ectabiles ; petioli 

 lati, 5-15 mm. long. Inflorescentia florens 10 cm., frugiferens circa 

 16 cm. long. Bractese circiter 2 mm. long., bracteohr vix totidem. 

 Pedicelli 1-3 mm. long. Calyx in toto 4 mm. long. ; hujus segmenta 

 3 mm. Corolhe tubus 20 mm. long., basi 2 mm., sub limbo 2*5 mm., 

 parte intermedia 1*5 mm. lat.; limbi lobi postici 8 x 4 mm., antici 

 9x5 mm. Filamenta 3 mm. long. ; antherai utrinque obtussR, 2 mm. 

 long. Ovarium 1*75 mm., stylus 20 mm. long. Capsula 18-22 mm. 

 long. Semina brunnea, minute foveolato-rugosa, 4 mm. diam. 



The artinity is apparently with P. pacijicum Lindau, which has 

 much longer internodes and is therefore most probably a plant of 

 taller habit, leaves with only 6 pairs of side nerves, much longer in- 

 florescence and corollas with oblong lobes half as long again as those 

 of the new species.
