Cluytia platyphylla, known only froma single gathering (Rudatis, 
81) and so far only ate nad collected, in foliage most resembles 
C. Dregeana, Scheele, and in male flowers most resembles C. hirsuta, 
E. Mey. For the present, and until this form becomes more fully 
represented in collections, it seems desirable to accord it the 
separate recognition claimed for it by its authors.
