Dr. Pax has already fully explained the difficulties involved in 
referring this plant to the genus Crutonogyne, with which it agrees 
in having lepidote scales and two glands on the upper surface of the 
leat at the junction of blade and petiole, but from which it differs in 
having a terminal not lateral inflorescence, in having free in place 
of united male petals, and in having. inter-staminal receptacular 
glands as well as an extra-staminal ring, alternate with the filaments 
of the outer series. In general facies the plant now described muc 
resembles Sumbavia macrophylla, Muell.-Arg., but differs in having 
the leaves with a pair of basal glands and not at all peltate at the 
base, in having lepidote scales in place of stellate hairs, in having 
relatively larger petals, much stouter filaments, introrse in place of 
lateral anther-cells, and in having glands on the receptacle. The 
receptacle in Sumbavia is densely pubescent, but has no glands.
