Ledge, Roraima. This genus is most nearly allied 
to Lagenocarpus but differs entirely from that genus 
and from the rest of the Cryptangieae in the lateral inflore- 
scence, the bifid stigma with short flat lobes, the absence 
of any cupule and the presence of a long number of hypo- 
gynous bristles.
