98. Sonerila ciliata, sp. nov. 



Stem woody, angled, and winged, red, scurfy pubescent, 

 12 in. tall. Leaves membranous, obliquely elliptic lanceo- 

 late, base narrowed, edge serrulate, spinulosc ; nerves 3 

 pairs, upper leaves spotted with large white spots with a 

 central dark-coloured pustule, 3-4 in. long, 1 • 75 in. wide ; 

 petiole • 25 in. long. Young leaves in bud purple, glandular

 long, pedicel • 1 in., valves 4, incurved, secund on a peduncle 

 •5 in. long. Tasan : Leaves spotted white ; reverse dull 

 crimson ; 6982. 



I do not know any species really like this, the woody 

 angled and winged stem, and quite smooth rounded capsules 

 are very distinct. The leaves are not always spotted and 

 are sub-equal and similar.

 that.
