a dimidio in lobos 5, triangulos, acuminates divisus, apicibus 
loborum contractis fere teretibus solidis, post anthesin persistens, 
6 ad 7 mm longus. Corolla manifesto bilabiata, ad 12 mm longa, 
labium superius brevius, brevique bilobulus, labium inferius a 
superiore bene sej unctum magis productum, lobis lateralibus bre- 
vioribus rotundatis, intermedio duplo longiore obovato. Stamina 
orificium tubi attingentia ; annulus ovarii satis altus, margine non 
lobulatus, ovarium parvum, ovatum, stylus setosus, dimidium tubi 
subaequans, staminum insertionem vix attingens. Bacca extus 
rugulosa, stylo persistente coronata, 7 ad 8 mm longa, 6 mm 
diam. Flores certe albi. FI. Decembri,

A species well characterized by its comparatively broad glabrous leaves, 
and its long-peduncled, umbelliform inflorescence. The flowers are insig- 
nificant, and present some resemblances to those of Cyrtandra trivialis and 
C. plectranthiflora. The long peduncle is characteristic, and it is pi-obable 
that other species presenting this character will be found, so that in the 
future this prominent feature may prove to be useful to designate a small 
group in the very large § Polynesiae. I have maintained the names and 
limits of the sections as defined by C. B. Clarke, but it will probably be 
necessary later to break up this large group into smaller natural and 
geogp-aphical ones.
