.(55 nun. long. Pollinia ovoid, about. .1 mm. long. Style, including 



the 1 mm. long arms, 3 mm. in length. 



This can be distinguished from T. Hosseusii Schlecliter by 

 the more hairy leaves and the smaller flowers with shorter calyx- 

 segments and markedly shorter and relatively broader corolla-lobes ; 

 the coronal leaves a!so are smaller and with a tiny very narrow 

 appendix, and the style is much thinner. 



Schlecliter has described the style of T Hosseusii wrongly, 

 thus leading Costantin (Flore Gen. Indo-China, IV. 47) to place the 

 species smong those with an entire style, whereas that organ is most 

 clearly bi ramose.
