the oceurrence of similar modifications among the species of 
Aischynanthus are very desirable, and could, of course, be made 
best in the field. 
CyRTANDRA TUBIFLORA, Kränzl.—[Dispares.] Frutex humilis. 
Caulis ad 45 em. altus, simplex, in superiore parte foliatus, 
omnino glaber. Folium alterum omnino obsoletum aut ad 
rudimentum filiforme reductum, alterum petiolatum, oblongum, 
acuminatum, subfaleatum, paulum asymmetricum, integrum, 
margine (et subtus certe in nervis principalibus) parce brunneo- 
pilosum ; folia minima cum petiolo 2 em. longo, 7 em. longa, 
2:3 em. lata, maxima 15 em. longa, 4-45 em. lata. Cyme 
dichasiales ex axillis et folii prestantis et folii obsoleti, 1-3-floræ. 
Pedunculi 1-1'2 cm. longi. Bractee magne, ovato-lanceolate, 
non in involucrum coalite, 2 em. long, 7-8 mm. late. Pedicelli 
brevissimi. Calyx longe tubulosus, apiee tantum in dentes 
5 triangulares supra lineares equilongos divisus, fere 2:5 em. 
longus, a basi medium fere usque minute puberulus. Corolla 
4°5 em. longa, supra tubiformis, 1:8 em. diam., infra (in calyce) 
infundibuliformis, lobi transverse oblongi, obtusi, vix diversi. 
Stamina sesquitorta, anthere elongate, lineares. Stylus in 
ovarium levissime fusiforme transiens, minute papillosus. Stigma 
magnum, bilabiatum. Discus et bacca a me non visa (ob flores 
in parte inferiore partim destruetos).— Junio. 
North Borneo: Nial, on limestone ( Haviland & Hose, n. 3537 !). 
This plant resembles very much Cyrt. oblongifolia, Benth. & 
Hook., but one leaf of every pair is reduced to a little scale, the 
last remnant of the petiole, the leaves are thinner and black 
when dry, whilst in Cyrt. oblongifolia they assume a rusty or 
cinnamon colour. The flowers are larger (in our species), 
especially longer, and are also black in the dried state. 
CynTANDRA HYPOCHRYSEA, Ardnzl.—[Stellate.] Fruticosa. 
Rami strieti, validi, subquadranguli; vetustiores cortice griseo 
profunde suleato fragili tecti, juniores pallide ferrugineo-villosi. 
Folia satis longe petiolata, opposita, equalia v. vix diversa, 
symmetrica, oblonga, aeuta v. subaeuminata, margine distanter 
dentata et leviter undulata, supra intense viridia, leviter arach- 
noideo-pilosa (pilis detersilibus), subtus pallidiora et in nervis 
omnibus chryseo- v. pallide ferrugineo-villosa, pilis sericeis 
nitidis, textura satis firma; petioli satis crassi, 2-4 em. longi,
