2. Oxymitra FiLiPEB, H. f. and Th. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 71. A climber : 
young branches softly brown -tomentose, dark-coloured and leuticellato 
when old. Leaves membranous t oblong-lanceolate or oblong-elliptic, 
often slightly obovate, acute or shortly acuminate, slightly narrowed to 
the sub -cord ate sometimes slightly oblique base ; upper surface glab- 
roue, minutely scaly, sometimes pubescent, the midrib and nerves al- 
ways so ; under surface paler r sub-glaucous, pubescent, the midrib 
tomentose ; main nerveB 12 to 14 pairs, spreading, prominent beneath ; 
secondary nerves obliquely transverse, prominent: length 4" 5 to 7 5 in., 
breadth 1'4 to 2 5 in. ; petiole 2 to '25 in,, tomentose. Flowers very 
long and narrow, often curved, 1"75 to 2*5 in. long, solitary on slender 
extra-axillary pedicels 3 or 4 in. long, which arc pubescent and have 
a subulate bract near the middle. Sepals "25 in. long, spreading, ovate, 
acute, pubescent. Petals very unequal ; the outer fleshy, very narrow, 
triquetrous, expanded and concave at the base, pnl>escent ; the inner 
less than one fifth of the outer in length, lanceolate with caudate-acu- 
minate apex, glabrous. Stamens numerous : ovaries 1-ovuled. Ripe 
carpels numerous, ovate-cylindric, shortly apiculate, softly pubescent, 
*5 in. long and '25 in. in diam. ; stalks '3 in. long, pubescent. Seed 
solitary, pale. 
A species readily distinguished in this genns by the extreme length 
and narrowness of the outer petals. Evidently closely allied to O. 
cuneifvrmis, Miq. {Pohjalthia cuneiforniis, Bl. Fl. Javao Anon. 75 t. 35, 
36 d, 37), which it resembles in that respect as also in its filiform, elon- 
gated pedicels.
