Oisr SOUTH-AMERICAN APOCYNACE^. 81 



liberiSj imo 2-lobatiSj apice acuminatis ; disco adnato ; ovariis 2 acute oWongis, quam sepala pauUo 

 longioribus, striatis ; stylo filiformi ; clavuncula incrassata, oblonga, 5 -sulcata; stigmatibus 2 subu- 

 latis. In Guiana : v. s. in hb. Mus. Brit. (Sagot 388). 



A species very distinct from A. Meyeri; it resembles PescUera diversifoUa in its 

 lanceolate leaves, but diflfers in its longer petioles and in its inflorescence. Its axils are 

 1 J in. apart ; the leaves in each pair are respectively 3 and 1 in. long, 8 and 4 lines broad, 

 on petioles 4 and 2 lines long ; the peduncle is 4 lines long, its branches somewhat longer, 

 each bearing about 6 bracteolated pedicels 3 lines long; sepals acute, submembrana- 

 ceous, 1 line long ; tube of corolla 8 lines long ; its segments oblong, obtusely pointed, 

 5 .lines long, 2 lines broad. 



A figure of this species, and an analysis of its flower, are shown in Plate XI. B.

An undescribed species, with the nodes of its branch] ets l|^-lf in. apart; leaves 

 3-5^ in. long, 1-2 in. broad, on petioles 8-5 lines long ; peduncle 6 lines long, cicatrized 

 from the base, bearing towards the summit few alternate pedicels 4 lines long; sepals 

 1^ line long; tube of corolla 11 lines long; segments 9 lines long, 2J lines broad; 

 2 oblong ovaries embraced for half their length by a tubular hyaline disk, scarcely dis- 

 tinguishable ; style very slender, 7 lines long. 



4. Anartia WuLFscHLyEGELii, nob. : Tabernmmontana Wulfschlmgelii, Griseb. Fl. Br. W. Ind. p. 409. 



Jamaica (WulEschlegel) : non vidi. 



A tortuous shrub, with subquadrangular branchlets marked below with annular nodes 

 where the leaves have fallen off; leaves in unequal pairs, oblong or lanceolate- oblong, 

 acute at the base, with an obtuse acumen, nerves somewhat distant, arcuately conjoined, 

 pairs 2 and 5 in. long, |-1^ in. broad, on petioles 3-8 Hues long, conjoined across the 

 node by a transverse ridge ; raceme lateral, a little longer than the petiole ; sepals f line 

 long, roundish ; tube of corolla 4 lines long ; segments obliquely ovate-oblong, obtuse, a 

 little shorter than the tube ; stamens inserted in the middle of the tube ; anthers 2 lines 

 long ; disk scarcely discernible. 



A species evidently near the preceding.
