Impatiens galactica, a new species from lowland rainforest in Marojejy National Park, NE Madagascar, is described and illustrated. It belongs to Impatiens section Trimorphopetalum and is related to I. messmerae, also known from Mt. Marojejy. Impatiens galactica differs from the latter species in the shape of the lateral sepals, and in the dorsal petal and the lateral united petals being entirely glabrous and lacking small white scales. Furthermore, I. galactica has a distinct flower morphology with strongly reduced upper lobes of the lateral united petals. The lateral petals are thus resembling the lower case letter “b” or “d”, respectively. Additionally, it has unusually coloured yellowish white, semi-transparent flowers with an orange-yellow, shiny line along the midrib of the lower sepal, all of which are lacking in I. messmerae.

Background Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthroplasty is a common procedure in the surgical management of symptomatic thumb basal joint arthritis. Following trapeziectomy, a number of suspensionplasty techniques are often used, but limited comparative evidence exists between these techniques. The central aim of this study was to prospectively compare the outcomes of 2 suspensionplasty techniques following trapeziectomy: suture button (TightRope) versus ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI). Methods Prospective data were collected on 112 consecutive patients with Eaton stage III-IV thumb CMC arthritis who underwent open trapeziectomy and suspensionplasty. There were 53 LRTI and 59 TightRope suspensionplasty procedures. Outcomes were measured using the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand ( QuickDASH) questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, radiographic analysis, and lateral pinch strength. Patient demographic data and complications were also recorded. Results Patients undergoing TightRope suspensionplasty had significantly higher trapeziometacarpal index and thus less subsidence than the LRTI group at 2 weeks (0.22 vs 0.17 [ P < .0001]) and 3 months (0.17 vs 0.15 [ P < .05]) postoperatively. TightRope suspensionplasty also had a significantly lower QuickDASH score at 2 weeks (64.7 vs 74.6 [ P < .05]), 3 months (20.7 vs 32.5 [ P < .05]), and 1 year postoperatively (7.57 vs 21.5 [ P < .05]) compared with the LRTI group. However, there was no difference in VAS pain, lateral pinch strength, reoperation, or complications at any time point between groups. Conclusions Thumb CMC joint arthroplasty performed with a TightRope suspensionplasty versus LRTI yielded short-term improved resistance to subsidence, long-term greater improvement in clinical outcome by QuickDASH, and no difference in pain or complication rates.

Absorption Chamber

In a paper recently communicated to the Royal Society, experiments dealing with the absorption spectra of several metals were described, in which it was found that bismuth vapour shows both lines and bands in absorption. The banded spectrum consists of three groups of bands, each group consisting of a number of bands degraded towards the red, the group of bands in the visible region appearing at high temperatures. In the above experiments it was hoped that by raising the temperature of the absorption chamber sufficiently high, and raising the absorption in the lines of the several bands, it might be possible to detect a fine structure in some of these bands. Accordingly, the author modified the furnace previously used so as to blow through it a larger quantity of compressed air, and succeeded finally by using coke and this furnace to obtain a temperature of about 1500°C. to 1600°C. At this temperature the vapour emitted a fluorescent radiation orange yellow in colour.
