Taxonomy

NGF 21573 from Morobe Province is a leptocaul treelet less than 3 m tall. The flowers are similar to those of the more glabrous forms of ‘weinlandii’ but the inflorescence is 3-branched, the major branches being up to 16 cm long. In some respects it approaches the description of Chisocheton oreophilus Harms, which probably belongs in this complex, but has a smaller calyx and may be referable to a form of Chisocheton sayeri.
