peduncles -5 in. long ; pedicels very short, slender ; buds ovoid. Calyx 

 membranous ; lobes ovate-acute, 'O-S in. long ; scales small. Corolla 

 campanulate ; tube -1 in. long, glabrous on both sides ; lobes -075 in. 

 long, thickened, glabrous. Corona of 5 very thin hyaline processes, 

 about -04 in. long from the back of the anthers between the wings, 

 linear-stalked with orbicular rounded tops and sagittate lobes. Staminal- 

 column attached to the base of the corolla-tube ; filament part short ; 

 anther-cells parallel ; appendages short, acute ; pollen-masses ellipsoid, 

 on caudicles nearly as long as themselves, which attach them to the 

 narrowly oblong pollen-carriers ; the caudicles curved upwards to a cup- 

 like oblique mouth, and broadly membranously winged on the inside. 

 Style-apex short, blunt. Fruit not known.

13. DiscHiDiA MONTicoLA, King & Gamble, n. sp. A trailing 

 epiphytic undershrab, rooting at intervals on the trunks and branches 

 of trees ; stems slender, terete ; internodes long. Leaves fleshy, thinly 

 coriaceous when dry ; ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate at apex, 

 rounded or attenuate at base ; both surfaces glabrous ; margins slightly 

 recui'ved ; 1-5 to 3-5 in. long, -75 to 1 in. broad ; 5-nerved ; the midrib 

 slender ; outer pair of basal nei'ves short, reaching about the middle of 

 the leaf, second pair at an angle of about 20° with the midrib, forming 

 a looped intramarginal nerve till close to the midrib ; main nerves 2 to 

 3 pah's, short, inconspicuous, joining the midrib to the sinuses of the 

 looped nerve ; reticulations netted, irregular ; petiole '25 in. long, some- 

 what twisted. Umbels few-flowered (?), in pairs on tubercular rachises 

 •2 to -3 in. long at the end of a -75 to 1'75 in. long straight lateral 

 peduncle ; pedicels very short, slender ; buds ovoid ; flowers pale green 

 (Wray). Calyx membranous ; lobes ovate-acute, puberulous without, 

 •05 in. long; scales rather large. Corolla campanulate, -125 in. long; 

 tube glabrous ; lobes also glabrous, thickened, scarcely over -025 in. 

 long. Cm'ona of 5 very thin membranous processes, each linear-stalked 

 with a rounded bluntly sagittate head. Staminal-column short ; anther- 

 wings broad ; anther-cells parallel ; appendages very long-acuminate ; 

 pollen-masses ellipsoid, on cornucopia-shaped caudicles as long as 

 themselves, which connect them to the slender oblong pollen-carriers. 

 Style-apex with a short conical tip. Fruit not known.

Seortechini has marked his specimens "D. sagittata, Dene.," but they do not 

 agree at all well with the descriptions in DC. Prodr. VIII. 631. There are no 

 specimens of D. sagittata in the Kew Herbarium, but the descriptions give the 

 leaves as obtuse at apex and attenuate into the petiole at base, which hardly suits
