duncled, leafy, the floral leaves mostly more than 1 cm. long, oval- 
orbi cular, wavy, emarginate, sessile; pedicels 3-5 mm. long, 
2-bracted, a gland between the bracts on one side; calyx cup- 
shaped, 7 or 8 mm. broad, the sepals white, fleshy, entire, broadly 
oval with rounded apex, strongly appressed to the stamens and

long, strongly clawed and concave, entire; stamens 10, anthers 
uniform, the filaments a little more than 3 mm. long, the alternate 
longer, lanceolate, outwardly arched above the base, connivent . 
above and the apices again curved outward; anthers 1 mm. long, 
not appendaged ; ovary densely pilose, the gynobase very slightly 
pyramidal-elevated; ovaries 3, the cristae low, obtuse; styles

I mm. long; fruit not seen.

ZYGOPHYLLEAE. 
PORLIERA ARIDA sp. n. 
gini gei siii ndis much branched, the branchlets short 
and stout, s of them spinose, blackish, the youngest tomen- 
tellate and arai: spines (stipules) of variable length, about 1 
mm. long, stout, rigid, pungent, spreading ; leaves papillose-gland- 
ular, light green, about 1 cm. long on a very short petiole, rhachis 
stoutish, the leaflets about i pairs, sessile, 2 to 3 mm. long by 0.6 
mm. broad, oblong or slightly broader near the rounded apex, 
thick and coriaceous ; flowers not seen ; fruiting peduncle 5 to 7 
mm. long, clavate ; fruit obcordate, 2- celled (always ?), 5 mm. long 
by 8 mm. broad, blackish. 
Turedon, 1891 (1124). 
Very near P. hygrometrica R. and P., but differs in form of leaf- 
lets and of fruit. Mandon's no. 861 with about 15 pairs of nar- 
rower leaflets, 7 mm. in length, shining above, and with fruit al- 
most identical with P. arida, is quite distinct and is apparently un- 
described.
