Perak, at Tapa (Dr. Haviland). 
This has a prostrate stem, rooting at intervals, the upper 
part ascending. The leaves are crowded on the ends of the 
spreading branches, and a few rather larger with longer 
petioles grow in pairs beneath the branches. Stem and leaves 
are covered with a white, silky pubescence, which is longest 
on the younger parts and on the edges of the laminew. The 
flowers are long for the size of the plant, with a somewhat 
slender tube dilated above ; they are rather short stalked. 
In habit I do not know any species exactly like this.
