NOTES.
Gomphostemma curtisii
is a recognised by having subulate calyx lobes, broadly ovate or cordate leaf blades and axillary inflorescences subtended by leaves or in a lower, more basal position where leaves have fallen. Prain agreed with Mr W. B. Hemsley who remarked that this species is similar to
G. pedunculatum
by having pedunculate inflorescences and large bracts (
Prain 1891
).
