Coripata, Yungas. (Wo. aziz 
Allied to A. aranthe Baker, but differs in its more elongated 
leaf with a much more obtuse basal sinus, and a stouter spadix. 
Anthurium grande N. E. Brown, sp. nov 
Leaves large, leas glabrous; petiole 2 ft. or more long; blade 
about 20 in. long, 14 in. broad, exactly ovate in outline, obtuse with 
a short apiculus at the apex, deeply cordate at the base; basal lobes 
curved; basal nerves about 7 on each side, the 4 outer of which are 
ginal nerve 1-114 line distant from the margin, prominent and 
ro panied ‘beneath, slightly prominent above; under surface densely 
covered wit nute fuscous dots in the dried et Peduncle 8 
short overlapping lobes. Spadix shortly stipitate, 6 in. long, sabi 
% in. thick at the base, cylindrical, slightly tapering. Flow 
rather large, about 134 line in diameter. vary ovoid, caecuae 
into a short stout style, which is not exserted beyond the perianth ; 
cells r-ovulate. 
Yungas. (/Vos. 23772 and 2583.) 
This fine species is more nearly allied to A. ornatum Schott, 
than to any other at present described; it differs from that plant in 
having the sinus of the leaf enclosed by the overlapping basal lobes, 
and by the much broader spathe which has overlapping basal 
auricles, whilst in A. orzatum, the spathe is decurrent at the base. 
ANTHURIUM sp., almost certainly undescribed, but better specimens 
are necessary. (lVo. 2582.) 
ANTHURIUM sp. nov. (?) near A. Bredemeyeri Schott. (Speci- 
men without number.)
