Described from a living plant which flowered at Kew in April, 



1914. 



When the flower first opens, and during the shedding of the 

 white pollen the stamens are erect, and the immature stigmas 

 are closely connivent and not papillate. At about the third day 

 the stamens become strongly recurved, or almost revolute, so that 

 any remaining pollen is quite out of the reach of visiting insects 

 and cannot be shed upon the stigmas, which now stand well apart 

 and erect, with well developed whitish papillae.
