tened, very short and equally as broad, the imbricated anthers 
nearly iri including the broad yellowish- -white wings. 
Thi s from the type in texture, apex and surface of 
leaves, but is in other respects exactly the same. It is probably 
distinct and the two may form the basis of a distinct genus.
