Epiphytic undershrubs. Leaves opposite, equal, fleshy or leathery, 
entire rarely obscurely toothed; nerves obscure. Peduncles terminal or 
axillary, 1- or 2-fld., rarely cymose, solitary or clustered; bracts ovate, 
usually small, sometimes large coloured, deciduous. Calyx truncate, 5-fid, 
or 5-partite. Corolla tubular-ventricose, rarely small or greenish; limb 
2-lipped. Stamens 4 perfect, didynamous; anthers oblong, equalling the 
corolla or much exserted, usually coherent in pairs by the tips ; rudimentary 
fifth rarely present. Disc annular. Ovary superior, stipitate, oblong or 
linear; stigma peltate; placente deeply inflexed, then recurved bearing 
the ovules. Capsule long-linear, loculicidally 2-valved; valves placenti- 
ferous. Seeds very many, small, sessile, pendulous, oblong, rugose, with 
one or more hairs at the end next the hilum, and one at the apex.—Species 
52, Indian and Malayan, extending from Kumaon and Ceylon to Hongkong 
and the Philippines. 
JEschynanthus, Jack, was published Jan., 1823; but Trichosporum, D. Don, 
being published July, 1822, has the right of priority ; Aischynanthus, however, 
having been accepted for half a century, it would not be expedient to relinquish it. 
Sect. 1. Politrichium. Seeds with many hairs near the hilum, and 
one hair at the apex.
