Affinity with U. velutina HavU., which inter alia has 

 quite different leaves and longer and narrower capsules.] 



Uncaria sp. Deva Deva. Not identified, and may prove 

 to be a new species characterised by the short pedicels (often 

 united at bottom) and short young fruit, shorter indeed 

 than the setaceous lobes of the calyx. The specimen is too 

 incomplete for closer determination.
