OF MT. KINABALU AND BRITISH NORTH BORNEO. 117 
tawny below; lateral nerves several, ascending, scarcely at all arcuate ; 
petioles 10-15 mm. long, tawny villous. Pedicels 3-4:5 em. long, with small 
subulate villous bracteoles about 2 mm. long at the base. Flowers white. Tube 
of calyx 8 mm. long, 3 mm. wide at the bottom and 4 mm. at the top ; posticous 
lobes longer than the anticous owing to their higher connation, anticous 9 mm. 
long, the others 7-8 mm. Tube of the corolla about 3:5 em. long, 3*5 mm. 
below and 8 mm. wide at the throat; lobes about 10 mm. long, 9-11 mm. 
broad. Ovary 10 mm. long. Style arms clavate, 3 mm. long. Berry up to 
24 mm. in length. 
The stamens and part of the style have been destroyed by insects, but 
there seems no reason to doubt that this is a Cyrtandra, close to C. radiciflora, 
C. B. Clarke, from which there is no difficulty in separating it on account, 
inter alia, of the long narrow calyx-lobes. 
AESCHYNANTHUS GIBBSLE, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Epiphytica, pendens ; foliis oppositis breviter ovatis apicem versus angus- 
tatis obtusis basi subrotundatis margine undulatis coriaceo-incrassatis glabris; 
floribus binis (an semper?) in fasciculos axillares vel terminales pedun- 
culatos dispositis ; pedunculis pedicellisque pubescentibus; calyce majusculo 
cylindrico pubescente, lobis brevibus late triangularibus obtusis; corolla 
majuscule tubo ex calyce longe eminente superne incurvo mediocriterque 
dilatato extus pubescente, labio antico alte tripartito lobis late ovatis obtu- 
sissimis, labio postico breviter bilobo ; staminibus leviter exsertis filamentis 
glabris ; orario glabro, stylum pubescentem magnopere excedente. 
Hab. Gurulau spur, 3500', above Kiau, in sec. forest. Fl. Feb. 3987. 
Leaves 8-11 em. long, 3°5-5°3 em. broad ; keel very prominent, laterai 
nerves but little visible ; petiole 5-7 mm. long, channelled above. Peduncles 
to all appearance bearing a couple of flowers, stout, 7 to nearly 10 mm. in 
length. Pedicels about as long as the peduncles, but more slender. Calyx 
2:5 em. long, in width half as much, green in the fresh state, hairy on both 
surfaces, its lobes 3 mm. long and nearly 7 mm. wide at the base. Corolla 
red, up to 6 em. long ; the tube 6 mm. wide at the base, contracting soon for a 
short distance to 2 mm. or a little more, and then expanding to 8 mm. ; lobes 
of the lower lip 10x 8 mm. ; upper lip 12 mm. long and about as broad, its 
suborbicular lobes 4 mm. in length. Anthers barely 3 mm. long. Disk 
1:5 mm. high. Ovary with gynophore nearly 5 em. long. 
The only specimen seen was in flower, hence the section to which it belongs, 
and consequently the affinity must remain uncertain. It will probably 
prove nearly allied to 477. Rhododendron, Ridl., which has smaller leaves, a 
deep purple calyx with acute glabrous lobes, a longer corolla with a glabrous 
tube and longer lobes as well as pubescent stamens.
