278 DR. FR. KRANZLIN : CYRTANDRACEJE 
Ovarium brevi-stipitatum, longe fusiforme, in stylum corollam 
wquantem attenuatum. Stylus parce glanduloso-pilosus. Stigma 
orbieulare, excavatum. Bacca 1'5 em. longa, 6 mm. crassa 
(maxima, quam vidi).— Augusto. 
Celebes: Forest at the mouth of the valley Tiram (?) (de la 
Saviniere, n. 1881). 
Differs from Cyrt. radiciflora, C. B. Clarke, in the leaves, 
which are by far larger and glabrous on both sides and less 
serrate. The flowers also are larger and the stamens and the 
style longer. I believe it is better to separate this species from 
the other ** Decurrentes," the flowers being produced on separate 
short branches arising directly from the subterranean stem or 
rhizome, whilst the leaf-bearing stem is flowerless. For this 
reason I propose to establish a new subsection “ Heteroblaste,” 
in contradistinction to the “ Homotoblaste,” which produce stems 
with flowers in the axils of stil existing leaves, as in the 
majority of the species, or in the axils of decayed leaves, as in 
Cyrt. radiciflora, C. B. Clarke. 
CYRTANDRA GHACILENTA, Avrdnzl.—[Decurrentes.] Caulis 
herbaceus, tetragonus, sulcatus; internodia 8:5-5 cm. longa, 
suprema tantum leviter pilosa. Folia equalia, opposita, petio- 
lata, lanceolata, acuminata, remote dentata, in margine levissime 
pilosa (presertim in dentibus), ceterum utrinque glabra, supra 
opaca, viridia, subtus multo pallidiora, juniora pilis brunneis 
mox deciduis villosa, 12-20 em. longa (incl. petiolo 2-3 em. 
longo), 3-35 cm. lata, basi zqualia. Cyme dichasiales sessiles, 
triflore.  Bractese in involucrum 5-6 mm. longum urceolatum 
extus brevi-pilosum utrinque acutum 5-6 mm. longum coalite. 
Calyx 1 ein. longus, quam braetez duplo longior, dense longeque 
villosus; segmenta longe linearia. ^ Corolla elongata, flavida, 
3 cm. longa, fauce 1:5-I:8 em. lata, infundibuliformis, lobulis 
sequalibus rotundatis, extus fulvido-villosa, fauce minute papillosa. 
Authere subquadrate. Filamenta linearia, corolle zquilonga, 
minute pilosa. Staminodia minuta. Stylus equilongus, glaber. 
Stigma magnum, oblongum, valde papillosum: 
Borneo: near Datar (Dater?) (Curtis! comm. Veitch). 
The plant is very near Cyrt. navicellata, Zippel, but the leaves 
are narrower, the petiole much shorter, and the corolla twice 
as long as in that species. ‘There are only very few flowers 
with the specimen, and I confess I have not seen the disk; but
