it so nearly accords with the character of Turczaninow's Otdlepis 

 nigrescens, founded on Cuming's No. 1922 (which I have not seen) 

 from Luzon, that I suppose it to be the same species. But the genus 

 is plainly identical with Blume's Otopliora, which is probably the 

 earlier published, and with a considerable number of species. This 

 name, therefore, I adopt, although too like Otiqphora, Zucc. The 

 stipules, if such they be, of our plant are over an inch in length.
