P. Griffithii, Benth., has pollen exactly as of P. IVrayi, and is closely allied to 

 it, but has a much more open and compound inflorescence. 



2. Phialacaxthus major, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. A nearly glabrous 

 shrub, 6 to 8 ft. high. Leaves opposite, equal ; the blade up to 8 by 

 3 in., narrowed at each end; petiole more than 1 in. long. Panicles 

 2 to 5 in. long, terminal, sometimes reduced to a simple raceme ; 

 flowers opposite ; pedicels "175 in. long, spreading ; buds drooping. 

 Calyx nearly "35 in. long, divided more than half-way down ; teeth 

 lanceolate. Corolla 1-25 in. long, waxy yellowish-white. Stamens 

 nearly as of P. Wrayi, but the pollen only obscurely ribbed longitudi- 

 nally. Pistil as of P. Wrayi.

3. Phialacanthus minoe, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. Very like P. major, 

 but smaller in every part. Leaves smaller, sometimes only 3 by -7 in. 

 Calyx divided nearly to the base, "2 in. long; segments linear. Corolla 

 ■8 in. long.

Herbs or small shrubs. Leaves opposite, subequal, petioled, entire,

 reduced nearly to a raceme or spike ; pedicels largely opposite ; bracts 

 small, inconspicuous, except injP. bracteosa. Calyx -175 to -25 in. long, 

 divided nearly to the base into 5 narrow segments. Corolla-tube linear 

 or cyhndric, conspicuously 2-lipped ; posticous hp erect, subentire ; 

 anticous of 3 oblong lobes. Stamens 4, perfect, subsimilar ; anthers 

 2-celled, the cells oblong, muticous, one placed half-way below the 

 other, or nearly at equal height ; pollen short-elUpsoid, with 2 stopples, 

 and longitudinally striate. Pistil glabrous, or hair}' in the lower half 

 of the style ; ovules 2 in each cell ; style shortly 2 -fid, or with one
