5 floris, pedicellis 5 ad 6 mm longis; calyce turbinate, 2 ad

Mount Poi, s.n., at or above an altitude of 1500 m. 



A species strongly characterized by its very lax, few 

 elongated, dichotomous inflorescences which attain a length of 

 25 cm, as well as by its narrowly lanceolate, caudate- 

 acuminate, very sparingly toothed leaflets. Rarely the leaflets 

 are entire showing no signs of teeth, the few teeth when 

 present being confined to the upper one-third of the leaflet.

Mount Murud, No. 117. E. M\oherg. October, 1922, at or 

 above an altitude of 1900 m. 



Among the few species of this genus with simple leaves the 

 present one is strongly characterized by its indumentum, and 

 its entire, elliptic, thickly coriaceous leaves, their margins 

 strongly re volute. In spite of its simple leaves it is clearly a 

 representative of this genus.
