Koorders and Valeton specially mention that they find only 4 involucral 
bracts, 5 subsessile flowers, 4 perianth-lobes and 6 stamens or staminodes. 
I cannot understand this as I have examined many flowers and find always 
the fiowers of Cylicodaphne as I have described them. The number of 
stamens varies much and sometimes the perianth-lobes are partly converted 
into stamens, but I have rarely seen so few as 6 though this occurs sometimes 
as in Curtis 3319 and in the var. described below. I fail to see the connec- 
tion with Tetradenia suggested by Koorders and Valeton.
