Type: tree 1204, from the forest at Brownsberg, Surinam, repre-^
sented in the herbarium at Utrecht by collections numbered B.W. <¿1
6094, 6400, 6518 and 6928. Henriettella caudata is obviously rela- ^
ted to H. Duckeana Hoehne, H. sessilifolium (L.) Triana, and
H. flavescens (Aubl.) Triana. It differs from the first of these in
its pedicelled flowers, from the second in its long-petioled leaves, *>0.
from the last in its essentially glabrous foliage, and from all of •
them in its much narrower and conspicuously caudate-acuminate
leaves.
