longioribus, alternatim numerosissimis, capillaribus, eum pedicellis alternis imo uni-

simis, glabris, ochroleucis; sepalis acutis, petalisque oblongis, pallide membranaceis, 
marginibus subciliatis, toro crasso turbinato rugoso impositis; cæteris ut in preece- 
dente: fructu ignoto. In Guiana: v. s. in herb. Mus. Brit. et Hook., Surinam, ad 
Karauary (Sagot, 937). 
This species differs from the preceding in the shape of the leaves, with much fewer, 
more descending nerves, shorter petiole, shorter inflorescence of a pale red colour. The 
axils of its branches are 13-13 in. apart; the leaves are 5—53 in. long, 21-23 in broad, on 
a petiole 3-33 lines long; the axillary inflorescence is 1-11 in. long, peduncle 2 lines, 
the alternate primary and secondary branches 2-3 lines long, the rest gradually more 
elongated, capillary, much intricated, alternately branched, with 1-flowered alternate 
pedicels 6-8 lines long, erect and filiform; each of the numerous flowers is barely half a 
line in diameter when expanded.
