 validis 2-3 cm. long, exemptis. Stipulae 13 X 11 mm., in sicco 

 fusco-brunnese. Inflorescentia 22 X 15 cm.; pedunculus 13 cm. 

 long., uti rami ramulique albus ; pedicelli quoad longitudinem 

 valde dissimiles, ± 3 mm. long. Ovarium segre 1 mm., calyx 

 •4mm.. ong. Corolla alba; tubus 225 X 1 mm., lobi 1 mm. 

 long. Antherge 1 mm., stylus 15 mm. long., hujus rami 

 •75 mm. long. Fructus 3 X 23 mm. 



In foliage very like P. direpta Wemh. except that the 

 acumination is more sudden and the narrowed portion much 

 shorter. Moreover the stipules are shorter and relatively 

 broader as well as being bifid instead of entire. The flowers 

 of P. direpta are unknown.

Affinity apparently with P. rubiginosissima Wamh., but 

 entirely different in the foliage . In several particulars it answers 

 the description of P. Wichmannii, Valet., but the venation of 

 that species and the floral details are different.
