articulated above the middle. Stamens 3 mm. long, including globose 

 anthers + '5 mm. long, glabrous. Carpels sometimes 3, with glabrous styles 

 nearly 2 mm. long. 



This plant is distinct from known members of the genus in the almost 

 orbicular bullate leaves and the terminal inflorescence, much, longer than 

 the leaves. It approaches S. integrifolium Pulle from the Hellwig Mts. in 

 S.W. New Guinea, but is distinguished by the ternate arrangement of the 

 leaves and the 5-lobed calyx.

Differs from T. oppositifolia Ridl., of Mt. Carstensz, in its stouter habit, 

 rounded small leaves, with few nerves nearly sessile, and very short inflor- 

 escences of a single flower. I see no traces of the staminodes which occur 

 in T. oppositijolia. It agrees with this species in the single seed to each 

 coccus. There are now three species of this genus known one from
