The Targe external glands are a cons]nonou.s feature in Ibi.*^ 

 species (see fig. 8) and appear to be the largest examples in tlier- 

 genus. The apical board is also dense and the long hairs extend 

 down the margins of the perianth segments. In its leathery 

 leaves and bracts in addition to the above-mentioned features this- 

 species stands somewhat apart from all others.
