This species differs from V, luxi/oUum especially in tlic bracts being 

 like the leaves and not much smaller, and in the anthers being without 

 spurs. This beautiful species was collected ou ]\rount Denii>o, from 

 7500-10,500 feet. In size it varied from a tree four feet in circmufercncc 



to a low shrub.

I found this singularly beautiful and graceful plant m full Aov^er m 

 November, 1881, first near the village of Napal Litjni, 580 feet al)0^ e the 

 sea: but in profusion on the large disrupted calcareous blocks near ho 

 summit of the peak of Karangnata, in company with magnificent ^pike- 

 bearing Ca^logynes and pink-fruited Mclastomacep I am not satisfied 

 that BoeaTreubil may not form a new genus; it differs fwm Boca m its 

 large size and entire stigma. The specific name is give in honour of Dr. 

 Trcub, Director of the Botanic Gardens, Buitcnzorg.
