Abstract


The genus Gonatanthus Klotz. including only two species, both occurring in K. & J. Hills, has been discussed after a detailed study of live plants and herbarium specimens. Apart from descriptions, and documentation of specimens, notes on variations and confusions in literature, are added, including a de novo description of the hitherto unknown spadix of G. ornatus Schott. The two species are illustrated with analytical drawings.
