Has. Mount Salak, Java. Thomas Lobb. 
An inhabitant of mountain regions in Java; and, as far as I 
can discover, a hitherto undescribed species. The leaves are : 
coriaceous, glossy above, opaque beneath; the margin with @ 
slightly reflexed edge. Racemes shorter than the leaves, with — 
from 10-12 drooping flowers. Pedicels short. Ovary inferior, — 
small, hemispherical, crowned by very indistinct calycine teeth. 2 
Corolla almost exactly elliptical; the mouth with five, small, | 
spreading segments or teeth. Stamens and thick style in- — 
cluded. Filaments broadly subulate, clothed, especially on the . 
anterior side, with long, copious hairs. Anther-cells without — 
awns, terminating upwards in a long tube, with about three — 
unequal teeth at the mouth,
