basi 8-10 mm. late. Bracteole pedicellos multo superantes. 
Calycis segmenta linearia, e basi latiore attenuata, 1 em. longa, 
corollam subequantia. Corolla 1:4 em. longa, supra 1 em. diam., 
tubulosa, extus densissime villosa, intus glandulis minutis 
undique obsita; lobi inter se vix diversi, transverse oblongi, 
acutiusculi. Stamina geniculata ; filamenta infra paulum 
latiora; anthere conglutinate. Stylus longiusculus, pilis glan-

The plant is nearest to Cyrt. chrysea, C. B. Clarke, but the 
inflorescences, though much shorter than the leaves, are stalked, 
and the flowers are larger, especially the calyx. It is also allied 
to Cyrt. reticosa, C. B. Clarke, but the leaves are smaller and 
longer petiolate. The disk, so far as I could make out, is very 
small, especially on one side, but it is indeed circular and not 
one-sided.
