540 FLORA OF BRAZIL. 
Caules suffrutescentes, volubiles, teretes. Folia opposita, 
petiolata, supra viridia, subtus pallidiora, 23 poll. longa, 9-10 
lin. lata. Pedunculi petiolos subaequantes, circiter 10-flori. 
Cor. tubo brevi. Pollinis masse basi obtuse. Retinacula 
linearia, obtusa, basi membranaceo-appendiculata : membrana 
margine incrassata, superne ad marginem in appendicem li- 
nearem obtusam subrecurvam producta. 
Differs from O. umbellatum, Gardn. (supra no. 77*), in 
having the retinacula appendiculate, and in the shorter tube 
of the corolla, with longer and more reflexed segments. The 
latter characters also distinguish it from O. appendiculatum, 
Mart., which, besides, has the retinacula appendiculate at 
the apex, and not at the base, as in O. pilosum. 
227. Monstera cuspidata, (sp. n.) ; caulescens scandens, foliis 
oblique ovato-oblongis acuminatis cuspidatis basi rotun- 
datis petiolis late marginato-membranaceis, spatha (alba) 
obtusa petiolata, spadicem breviore.

This does not seem to differ from D. pentaphylla, with the 
exception of the leaves being nearly entire. In the figure in 
the Flora Fluminensis they are represented as being sharply 
serrated. 
* I have to request the correction of an error at that place, made in copying 
the manuscript, DA the affinity of this plant with O. appendiculatum. 
For fewer-flowered corymbs, read more umbellate, and many-flowered corymbs.
