The elongated calyx and anther-column of this species indicate an approach to 

 Fumyristica, and the inflorescence is more simple than in the majority of Pyrrkoscr. 

 The anthers are, however, distinctly involute, and lobed at the apex.

 lita;, elongato-liueares, circa 18, apice longitudiue subinscquales, columna connectivo 

 haud apiculata. 



There is no apiculus of connective beyond the anthers, but as the mass of the 

 column narrows into a rounded point, some of the anthers are continued to the apex, 

 while the others stop abruptly a little lower.
