Myrmecodia (murmekos, an ant: the ants nest in excavations that they make in the great tubers). Rubiaceae. From 20-25 remarkable epiphytic subshrubs of E. Asia and the Pacific Isls., sometimes grown by the curious. They require the treatment of epiphytic orchids. The plants are glabrous, with 4-angled thickish or fleshy branches: lvs. crowded at the ends of the branches, opposite, obovate; stipules persistent, curiously transformed into scales: fls. small, white, sessile amongst the lvs. and modified stipules. M. Antoinii, Becc. (M. echinata, Ant.). Tuber very large, 6 in. or more diam., dull gray, tuberculate and spiny: st. inclined and flexuous, 4-grooved, the ribs covered with imbricating woody shields (stipules): lvs. at top of st., 4 or 5 in. long, elliptic-ovate to obovate, acute: fls. ½in. long, white, sessile on the ribs; corolla clavate, 4-lobed. Torres Straits. B.M. 7517. G.W. 13, p. 117; 14, p. 524.
