from all other Philippine species of the genus heretofore described.

This is an interesting species of § Cirrkopetalum easily distinguished 
from all other Philippine species of the same section by its loose umbels 
and long, narrowly triangular petals which are smooth and similar in 
form to the sepals. The upper sepal is remarkable because of its similarity 
to the lateral sepals.
