A. insularis, nov. sp., frutex ; rarais a cortice griseo-brunnea tectis ; 

 ramulis pallidioribus in specimine siccato rugoso-striatis apice foliatis ; foliis 

 approximatis alternis obovatis integris penninervatis supra atroviridibus 

 parce pubescentibus subtus pallidioribus molliter pubescentibus basi cu- 

 neatis apice rotundatis ; pilis induinenti crispis ; umbellis sessilibus 2-4- 

 floris ; pedicellis elongatis filiformibus nutantibus subglabris apice in 

 calycem incrassatis ; calyce campanulato tenui subglabro truncato ; corolla 

 tubulosa gradatim ampliata pilis crispis pubescenti ; limbo 5-fido; dentibus 

 deltoideis subobtusis ; antheris in parte faucium superiori subsessilibus ; 

 stylo recto filiforme glabro ; stigmate capitate. — A. sp. Rob. & Greenm. 

 (1), 147. — Chatham Isl.: southwest end, middle region, June, 1891, 

 Baur, no. 193 (hb. Gr.). Endemic. Leaf-blade 6 to 8 mm. long, half 

 as broad; petiole 1.5 to 2 cm. long; pedicels 2 to 2.5 cm. long; corolla 

 3 cm. long ; flowers more inclined to be nodding or even pendulous than 

 indicated on the plate. This species must in many points resemble 

 A. ellipticus, Hook. f. That, however, is described as having leaves 

 attenuate at both ends and glabrous, the calyx-limb 5-crenate, the style 

 somewhat curved and the stigma obscurely bilobed. Plate 2, fig. 3.
