144 DIAGNOSES SPECIERUM NOVARUM. 
bamboo brake, in damp shady situation. Flowers green. Alt. 
I1,000-12,000 ft. July 1914.’ Kingdon Ward. No. 1808. 
This new species of Ypsilandra does not fit exactly into that 
genus as described by Franchet. The genus has hitherto been 
monotypic, and the generic characters were based entirely upon 
the single species. There is an excellent figure with dissections 
in Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, x, pl. 17. The habit 
of this plant, the leaves, the scales on the scape, the perianth, 
the anthers, the ovary, and the seeds are quite in accord with 
the new species, which differs markedly in the very short stamens 
and style and in the trifid not capitate stigma.
