brevi-pedicellate ; pedicelli, braetez, calyces longe brunneo- 
pilosi. Bracteæ in involucrum coalite, post anthesin decidua, 
ovate, acute, subtus valde nervosm. Pedicelli brevissimi, quam 
bracteole breviores. Calycis 6 mm. longi brevi-campanulati, 
segmenta linearia, tres quartas corolle squantia. Corolla cam- 
panulata, extus et intus glabra, 8-9 mm. longa, supra 6 mm. 
diam.; lobi paulum diversi, transverse oblongi, rotuudati. 
Stamina linearia, glabra, valde curvata; anthere non congluti- 
nate. Staminodia parva. Discus 5-dentatus. Stylus glanduloso- 
papillosus. Stigma obscure bilabiatum. Bacca ovalis, dense 
papillosa, stylo subbreviore coronata, calycem patulum excedens, 
6 mm. longa, 3-4 mm. crassa. 
Philippines: Northern Luzon, Prov. of Benguet (Barnett, 
Forestry-Bureau, n. 923 !). 
This plant is surely very near to Cyrt. parviflora, C. B. Clarke; 
but it differs in the curved stamens, the not cohering anthers, 
and the glabrous filaments. 
CvynTANDRA BENGUETIANA, Avrünzl.—[Polynesime.] Fruticu- 
losa. Rami vetustiores subtetragoni, grisel, glabri; juniores 
bruuneo-villosi. Folia opposita, paulum inequalia, lanceolata, 
basi et apice longe acuminata, utrinque paucidentata, brevi- 
petiolata, paulum  asymmetriea, maryine revoluta, tenuiter 
coriacea, supra viridia, subtus pallida, margine et in nervis 
majoribus brunneo-pilosa; nervi primarii utrinque 7-8; folia 
novella omnino aureo-villosa. Cymæ breves et brevi-pedieellatze 
in axillis foliorum. Pedunculi, pedicelli, bracteæ, calyces extus 
omnia rufo-pilosa. Bracteæ persistentes, parve. Calyx fere 
basin usque fissus, 5 mm. longus; lobi e basi paulum latiore 
lineares, satis longi, apice incrassati. Corolla 7 mm. longa; 
tubus longiusculus, fauce 3 mm. latus, calyeem bene excedens ; 
limbus in lobos parvos rotundatos subzequales divisus. Filamenta 
valde torta.  Staminodia conspicua, filiformia. Discus satis 
altus, breviter lobus. Bacca oblonga, in stylum brevem attenuata, 
5 mm. longa. 
Philippines: North Luzon, Prov. of Benguet (Loher, n. 4237 ! 
5039!) The same locality (Vidal, n. 1821). 
The plant is a near ally of Cyrt. parviflora, C. B. Clarke; but 
it differs in the size being even smaller than the preceding 
species. The very remarkable golden-brownish nerves on the 
uuderside of the leaves bring the plant near to Cyrt. chrysea,
