 quam in typo latioribus oblongo-ovatis vel ovatis utrinque glabris 

 apice breviter acuminatis basi cuneatis nervis lateralibus 

 utrinque 6-7 ; infloreseeutia glomerata petiolo breviori vel

Leaves 10-15 cm. long + 7 cm. broad ; petiole 8-10 mm. long. 

 Flowers in many-flowered sessile glomerules which are + 2 cm. in 

 diameter. Sepals oblong-lanceolate + 3 mm. long. Petals + 5 mm. 

 long. Differs from the type in the shape of the leaves, &c.

CELASTRACE^.

 breviuscule petiolatis subcoriaceis oblongis vel elliptico-oblongis 

 apice acuminatis basi cuneatis nervis lateralibus utrinque 5-8 

 subtus ut costa prominentibus nervis secundariis reticulatis 

 glabris ; jiorihus pro genere majusculis in foliorum axillis pluribus, 

 pedicellis mediocribus ; alahastrls subovoideis ; cali/cis lohis ovatis

 2-3-plo longioribus oblongis vel ovato-oblongis ; stamiuibus 3 intra 

 discum crassiusculum aunularem insertis, filamentis applanatis 

 antheris late cordiformibus filamentis brevioribus rimis longitudi- 

 nalibus extrorsum debiscentibus ; ovario conico apice in stylum 

 manifestum attenuato, 3-loculari. 



Oban ; n. 1687. 



Internodes 6-7 cm. long. Leaves 12-22 cm. long, 5 '5-8 '6 cm. 

 broad; petioles 9-14 mm. long. Pedicels 4-7 mm. long. Exterior 

 sepals 2 mm. long, interior 3 mm. long. Petals + 8 mm. long. 



This plant belongs to the series in which the anthers dehisce 

 longitudinally — the flowers are rather large and arise from the axils 

 of the large sub-coriaceous, glabrous leaves. 



[Sepals pale yellow, outline bright brown, petals yellow-creamy in 

 high lights, disc cream, stamens with cream filaments, brownish- 

 yellow anthers. — P. A. T.]
