This is a fine species and should be an ornamental plant in 
gardens. It has been raised from seeds collected by Mr. Forrest 
under No. 5881 for Bees Ltd. but has not yet flowered in 
cultivation. 
It has all the aspect of plants of the Selense and Souliei 
series. Its style, glandular throughout, denies it a place in the 
Selense series. Of the members of the Souliei series the species 
nearest to it are Rh. callimorphum, Balf. f. et W. W. Sm., 
Rh. puralbum, Balf. f. et Ward, and Rh. Souliet, Franch., but 
they are easily distinguished. It recalls by its foliage AA. 
puralbum, Bali. f. et Ward, but that species has a pure white 
corolla, large membranous calyx glandular at margin only, and 
puberulous staminal filaments. Rh. callimorphum, Balf. f. et 
. W. Sm. has cordulate leaves and puberulous staminal 
filaments. Rh. Souliei, Franch. has also cordulate leaves and 
the calyx is large and membranous. 
The 7-lobed corolla and 14 stamens suggest the Fortunei 
series as its affinity, but the leaf form is hardly that of the series 
and the character of the under-leaf surface is entirely that of 
Rh. Souliei.
