Anthorrhiza Huxley & Jebb, Psychotrieae-Hydnophytinae, is described. The eight species, all of which are new to science and endemic to Papua New Guinea, are fully described, and a key to the species and an enumeration of specimens are given.

Huxley, C.R..

Rumphius first described the two major genera of the Hydnophytinae in 1750, but Linnaeus did not recognize the work, and Jack described Hydnophytum and Myrmecodia in 1823. These genera were briefly placed elsewhere and confused, until Beccari’s admirable monograph (1884-86) when three further genera were added. Valeton’s revision was sadly incomplete.

Myrmecodia Jack, a tuberous epiphytic genus of the Psychotrieae, Hydnophytinae, is revised to contain 26 species. A key and listing of all specimens are included.

Myrmedoma Becc. is sunk into Myrmephytum Becc. on account of floral and inflorescence characters. Myrmephytum is revised to contain eight species, of which one is new and four are litde known.

The morphology and ant-association of the five genera Hydnophytum Jack, Myrmecodia Jack, Anthorrhiza Huxley & Jebb, Squamellaria Becc. and Myrmephytum Becc. are described. On the basis of shared character states in tuber cavity development and inflorescence structure these five genera are united as a subtribe, the Hydnophytinae.
