panicle and almost glabrous fruit. The former is the plant figur- 
ed by Roscoe, the latter is ied form collected by Mr Feilding and

stamen was rudimentary and the two lateral ones developed. 
This may be compared with Roscoe’s A. difissa which is probably 
a specimen of this plant with all the flowers like this.
