It is with some liesitation that I have referred this species to Disporopsis, 

 whose original description is rather too imperfect to be clearly understood. To 

 begin with the perianth, the description ruus "peiigonium corolliuum, campa- 

 nulatum, basi leviter saccatum, segmentis 6, subaaqualibus, crassiusculis, uniner- 

 viis, tubo duplo longioribus." So far, this agi-ees fairly well with our plant.
