The type of the late C. B. Claeke is preserved in the 

 Herbarium at Kew. I have compared my specimens with the 

 type and found that they are exactly identical. So far as I am 

 aware, the description of this species has not been published 

 before, owing to the untimely death of the eminent authority 

 who determined it. The description here given is drawn from 

 my own specimen, but not from Claeke's type.
