A singularly beautiful species, with the habit of Trichinium Man-—

glesii, Lindl., but the inflorescence much less elongate and the long

sheeny outer perianth-segments, orange or apricot-coloured below,

passing into a nacreous white above.

Notwithstanding the extreme disparity in the length of the perianth-

segments, upon which Sir F, von Mueller grounds the genus Dipter-

anthemum, | think it might well have been assigned to Trichinium.—

petioled leaves and in being perfectly vlabrous everywhere except the

Sepals and ovary. Both long to a section of Aporosa remarkable

for its large falcate stipules. The Singapore plant, which I have above

doubtfully referred to this, has still larger petioles and membranous

leaves, broader upwards ; it may be a different species.—J. D. HooKER.
