This plant is peculiar in its unisexual trimerous flowers ; the latter 
peculiarity it shares with the Sandwich Islands 31. trimem Hillebr. 
The flowers o£ 31orinda are occasionally unisexual, and that may 
well be the case here, although four flowers were examined without 
yielding sign of ovules or of a style. In several respects 31. triandra 
is not unlike 31. poly near a Miq.

This must be near F. amplithyrsa Valet., of which no specimen 
has been seen. The chief differences lie in the shorter free (not 
connate) stipules of the new plant, its much shorter and shorter- 
peduncled inflorescences, the corollas with tube no longer than the 
lobes, and the larger globose fruit.

P. Montana Bl. var. gractllima Wernh. op. cit. 135. Sogere, 
2500 ft., 37, 38. Wernham suggests that this may be a new species. 
It is certainly not a var. of P. montana Bl., judging from the seeds, 
which are 4-ribbed at back, while those of montana have but one 
dorsal rib. In the absence of flowers it is impossible to proceed 
further with the material at hand.
