dark brown above and red brown beneath. The sepals are 

 very narrow and when dry at least are curiously hooked at the 

 long acuminate tip. Haviland's plant is more pubescent and 

 the leaves show slight signs of crenation. 



Dr. Stapf recognized this species as distinct in the Kew 

 Herbarium but never published his description of it.

 margin, elevated beneath, reticulations fine conspicuous be- 

 neath, 3—4.5 in. long, l.-l — 2 in. wide, petiole .5 in. long, 

 petiolule .2 in. long. Panicles terminal and axillary, slender, 

 lax, puberulous 2.5 to 6 in. long; branches distant 2 — 3 in. 

 long with the branchlets crowded at the tip. Sepals connate at
