parvis rotundatis reflexis, tota corolla sparsim pilosa, 5 cm 
longa, in orificio patens, 2 cm diam. Filamenta parcissime 
pilosa, corollam paulum superantia, antherae per paria con- 
glutinatae. Stylus compressiusculus pilosus, staminibus brevier, 
stigma magnum; de colore nil relatum est, corolla purpurea 
fuisse videtur. Fl. Octobri.

In general appearance this species much resembles Aeschynanthus 
radicans Jack, but it is entirely glabrous, the dimensions are very different, 
and the flowers are arranged in dense clusters. It is also very near 
A. Lobbianus Hook, f., but this species has very pubescent leaves and 
calyx, and in leaf-form is also quite different.

Caulis volubilis longe inter muscos repens, exceptis inser- 
tionibus petiolorum glaber, griseus, radicibus longis, tenuissimis 
obsitus, internodia ± 3 cm longa. Folia brevi-petiolata, elliptica, 
obtusa, crassiuscula, margine revoluto, glaberrima, petioli crassi 
in nervum medianum producti, minute setosi, 4 mm longi, laminae 
2,5 ad 4,5 cm longae, 1.5 ad 1.8 cm latae. Flores bini, brevi- 
pedicellati. Calyx cylindraceus, superne retusus, dentibus 5 bre- 
vissimis praeditus, 6 mm longus, 4 mm diam., certe (purpu- 
reo- ?) coloratus, pilis albidis pluriarticulatis, glandulosis vesti- 
tus. Corolla cylindracea, dorso leviter curvata, lobi labii supe- 
rioris vix vel parum divisi, laterales labii inferioris late ovato- 
trianguli, intermedius deflexus oblongus, omnes obtusi, tota cor- 
olla 3 cm longa, quo amplissima circ, 6 mm diam., sordide pur- 
purea, extus satis dense pilosa. Stamina mihi non visa ab insec- 
tis destructa. Stylus brevissimus, calycem vix excedens. Fl. 
Novembri.

The only species with which this can be compared is Aeschynanthus 
Beccarii C. B. Clarke, but in that species the corolla exceeds the calyx 
only by one-half its length, while in A. serpens it is more than four times 
as long. The only flower available for examination was injured by insects, 
the stamens having been destroyed, but the corolla and style were intact.
