CYRTANDRA TAGALEURIUM Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Macrosepalae) , 
Frutex, pars quae adest, 30 cm longa, internodia 4 ad 5 cm 
longa, pars apicalis tantum fulvo-pilosa. Folia opposita, inaequi- 
magna, minus tamen cuj usque paris bene evolutum nee in rudi- 
mentum reductum, petiolata, oblonga vel lanceolata, acuminata, 
basin versus brevi-angustata, margine minute vel vix denticulata, 
superne glabra, subtus secus nervos tantum rubro-pilosa, mar- 
gine in dentibus vel interdum etiam pro dentibus penicillis 
brevibus pilorum praedita, cum petiolo 2 ad 2.5 cm longo 15 
ad 18 cm longa, circ. 4 ad 4.5 cm lata, folia minora subobliqua, 
cum petiolo 1 cm longo 12 cm'longa, fere 3 cm lata. Inflorescen- 
tiae axillares, pedunculi subnulli, dichasia igitur in fasciculum 
florum soluta, bracteae minutae lineares liberae, ipsae et pedicelli 
tenues 1 ad 1.5 cm longi fusco-pilosi. Calyx basi campanu- 
latus, patens, glaberrimus, segmenta triangula, acuta, cum parte 
basilar! 8 mm longa, ubi libera 2.5 mm lata. Corollae tubus 
brevis mox in lobos 5 patulos, triangulos, acutos solutus, omnino 
glabra, 1.2 cm longa, in orificio 1.5 cm diam. Stamina 2 fila- 
mentis valde flexis, staminodia parum evoluta ; ovarium ovatum, 
glaberrimum, stylus post anthesin elongatus, 6 ad 7 mm longus, 
stigma usque glanduloso-pilosus, stigma satis crassum, annulus 
in lobos 5 sat magnos divisus. Bacca in calyce persistens.

I can only compare this species with Cyrtandra lysiosepala C. B. Clarke, 
and C. triflora Gaudich., the latter of which it greatly resembles in habit 
and gross characters. Both of the above species, however, have the 
corollas pubescent externally, while in C. Tagaleurium they are entirely 
glabrous. The name lysiosepala was given by A. Gray to a Cyrtandra 
regarded by him as a variety of C. triflora, but afterwards raised by Clarke 
to specific rank. 
CYRTANDRA CURRANII Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Polynesiae). 
Frutex. Hamuli, qui adsunt, ad 20 cm longi, tortuosi, grisei, 
in partibus vetustioribus glabri, in apicibus tantum foliati, inter- 
nodia 5-7 mm longa; partes novellae fusco-ferrugineo-tomen- 
tosae. Folia opposita, aequimagna vel vix diversa, petiolata, 
lanceolata, basi et apice acuminata, superne glaberrima, subtus 
secus nervos fulvo-pilosa, margine distanter brevi-dentata, ferru- 
gineo-fimbriata, maxima cum petiolo 2 cm longo ad 15 cm longa, 
medio 2,8 cm lata. Inflorescentiae quam folia bene breviores, 
dichasiales, axillares, typice triflorae, flore terminali semper 
evoluto, lateralibus mox obsoletis, mox evolutis, bracteae, pedun- 
culi et pedicelli, et calyces extus fulvo-pilosi, bracteae ovato-
