Planta dioiea R. Arnoldi multoties minor, diametro floris expansi sexpollicari, caeterum 
ante expansionerh externe similis ut ovum ovo, indusio e cortice Vitis aut Cissi for- 
mato rugoso sed vix reticulato;- interne eonvenit corona faucis indivisa, tubo intus 
ramentaceo: differt annulo baseos columnae unico (exterivre R. Arnoldi deficiënte),

stylos manifeste superantibus et tam numerosis in centro et versus peripheriam ut in 
B, Arnoldi.” — De specimine masculo cl. Tescuemacuer haec adhuc refert.: » The 
interior of these divisions of the perianth is marked by tubercles of various forms, 
as in the other species” — » The column has a convexe dise, surrounded by a raised 
edge; on the surface of this column are eleven processes differing from each other 
slightly in size and form, the summits of which are entire and hispid, the hairs 
much resembling pistillary projections. One of the processes is in the centre, the 
other ten arranged around it at about an equal distance between it and the raised 
edge.” — » The anthers, which are of the same form, with pores and cells like those 
of the other species described, are ten in number, and are also suspended from the 
under side of the upper edge of the column, in open cavities formed in the lower 
part or base of it; both edges of the open part of these cavities are covered with 
hairs resembling those on the tips of the processes on the disc, and that part of 
the tube of the-perianth opposite to these openings is studded with thiek, eapillairy 
hairs, each terminated by what is apparently a glandular knob” — »l eould not 
perceive any very distinct appearances in the bud of an annular process at the mouth 
of the tube of the perianth, although it is not improbable, from various marks, that 
such a ring may be developped when the flower is open.” 
Si cum his comparamus quae de R. Rochussenië mare 1. Supra c. relata sunt, 
dubitari fere posset, an haec ab BR. Cumingiù specifice sit distincta. Flos expansus 144 
centim. in diametro (itaque circiter sexpollicaris); perianthii laciniae 64 centim. 
longae, 8—9 latae; faucis diameter 54 centim. Columnae centralis pars inter basis 
annulum et verticis discum 2 eentim. Discus 7 centim. in diam, supra processubus 
styliformibus fere orbatus, unico tantum, lineam longo, in eentro obvio; area stellata 
rubra in medio diseo subalbido eleganter picta, radiis (5) singulis 24 cent. longis; 
margo disci elevatus, saturatius coloratus. Perigonium intus verrucis capitellatis, 1—6
