CYRTANDRA FLORULENTA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Dissimiles), 
Frutex multiramosus. Rami vetustiores grisei, novelli fulvo- 
tomentosi. Folia inaequalia (minus cujusque paris multo minus 
tamen bene evolutum), petiolata, oblongo-Ianceolata, subito acu- 
tata, pauci- et grosse dentata, basin versus cuneata, superne 
glabra, opaca, subtus pallidiora, secus nervos fulvo-tomentosa, 
cum petiolo 1 ad 1.5 cm longo 9 ad 11 longa, 2 ad 2.5 cm 
lata, folia minora circ. 4 ad 5.5 cm longa, 1 ad 1.5 cm lata. 
Flores satis crebri, fere ex axilla quaque partium vetustiorum 
orientes, in dichasia triflora dispositi, pedunculi pedicellique bre- 
ves, ipsi calycesque pilis longis fulvis vestiti, bracteae lineares 
parvae villosae. Calyx satis profunde fissus, pars basilaris in- 
fundibuliformis, segmenta lanceolata, in apicem longum pro- 
tracta, totus calyx circ. 1.3 ad 1.5 cm longus, infra dimidium 
fissus. Corolla infundibuliformis, supra in lobes 5 vix diversos 
partita, extus longe villosa intus glabra, alba, ultra 3 cm longa, in 
orificio 1.5 ad 1.8 cm diam., lobi obtusissime trianguli, subrotundi. 
Ovarium et stylus longe pilosi. Fl. Martio, Junio,

An attractive little shrub, the profusely produced, large, white flowers 
in pleasing contrast to the dark-green foliage. If one of my brother 
botanists should unite this species with Cyrtanda incisa and regard it 
as a mere variety of that species it would not be surprising. On first 
examining the plant I determined it to be the above species, but a 
critical examination and comparison of all characters with C. incisa shows 
one discrepancy after another, none of them, however, of great taxonomic 
value. I finally decided to consider the Bontoc species a distinct one, 
although, I must confess, founded on rather slight differentiating char- 
acters.

CYRTANDRA VERRUCOSISSIMA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Decurrentes) , 
Pars caulis, quae adest, 8 cm tantum longa, planta certe altior, 
pilis multiarticulatis setosis lumine oblique argenti instar niten- 
tibus vestitus, 3 ad 4 mm diam., satis firmus. Folia opposita, 
aequalia vel vix diversa, lanceolata, minute dentata, basi et apice 
acuminata, vix petiolata, superne verrucis numerosissimis con- 
vexis omata, subtus eodem numero cavernularum fenestrata, 
nervi praesertim subtus valde incrassati, numerosi, superficies 
subtus et superne pilis albidis nitentibus argentata, maxima mihi 
visa ad 13 cm longa, ad 2 cm lata. Flores ut videtur semper 
singuli (si mavis dichasium, flore terminali solum evoluto, late- 
ralibus obsoletis), pedunculus 4 cm longus, longe setosus, brac- 
teolae in superiore parte minutae, lanceolatae, pedicellus floris 
unici brevis. 
segmenta 
mm longa, setosa. Corolla recta, glabra, ad 3.5 cm longa, basi
