1866, and apparently the same as Hendcer 1990, from Tovar. The 
last named has fruit 1.5 cm. long by 1 cm. broad (exclusive of the 
tubular calyx-limb), oval to slightly ovate, each half broadly and 
strongly 4-grooved, blackish-red, finely granular. 
POEDERIOPSIS gen. nov. Poedertearum 
Flowers perfect. Calyx-tube campanulate, the limb 5-lobed, 
persistent. Corolla infundibular, aria without, the limb and 
throat long-pilose ae 5-lobed, the lobes in nduplicate-valvate. 
tamens 5, included, the short, ee filaments inserted near the 
base of the corolla, the very large anthers lanceolate, sagittate with 
blunt lobes, acute and mucronate, sub-versatilely attached near the 
sinus of the lobes. Ovary 2-celled, 2-ovuled, the ovules erect from 
as the corolla, filiform, not twisted in the partly opened ae not 
pilose. Stems slender, twining, the stipules broad, or 2- 
toothed, recurved, persistent, the leaves membra eat oe 
long-petioled. Panicles oes ample, lax, the flowers cymosely 
disposed. Fruit not s 
e genus is very near Poederza, but differs in the persistent, 
bifid stipules, the mucronate acute anthers, the basal attachment of 
the filaments and the apparently straight stigmas (though these 
may become twisted in anthesis.)

Branchlets puberulent; stipules 3-4 mm. long and nearly as 
broad, purple, thickish, ovate; petioles 3-6 cm. long, ae 
channeled above, costate, dilated at the base; blades o 0.5-1 dm 
more long and two-thirds as broad, ovate, shallowly cordate, acu-

the bud (expanded corollas not seen), 6 mm. long, ovate; anthers 
3 mm. long, 1 mm. broad; stigmas 5 mm. long, flattened at the 
end. (Wo. 2216.) The same as Rusby 2727, the type of AZa-
