about twice as long as broad. The pedicels are shorter than those 
of W. hernandioides Garcke. It is quite different from W. decora 
recently described by Mr. Spencer Moore (Trans. Linn. Soc. II. 4: 
312) from Puerto Pachico; but may be identical with W. gymnan- 
themum K. Sch., a plant which I only know from description, but 
the petioles here are more than double the length given by Dr. 
Schumann (FI. Bras. 12%: 446). The lamina of the leaf also 
appears to be very much larger.
