In many characters this species resembles Aeschynantkus glomeriflorus 
Kranzl., but the leaves are larger, the flowers are entirely glabrous, and, 
so far as I could determine from the four examined, hermaphrodite. The 
material is not very copious and for that reason the inflorescence has not 
been discussed in the description. In the specimen examined the flowers 
are in the axils of the ultimate leaves, but this may not always be the case.

4 ad 5 cm longa. Folia lanceolata, brevi-petiolata, tenui-coriacea, 
basin versus angustata, acuminata, apice ipso tamen obtusa, 
cum petiolo 3 ad 5 mm longo 4.5 ad 5 cm longa, medio 1.2 cm lata. 
Flores semper bini ut videtur semper terminales, pedunculi 1 cm 
longi, glabri, bracteae late ovato-oblongae, apice obtusissimae, 
rotundatae, glabrae, 5 mm longae, 3 mm latae, pedicelli aequi-

brevibus, baud profunde fissus, glaberrimus, 8 mm longus, lobi 
circ. 3 mm longi latique. Corolla sigmoidea, superne sensim 
ampliata, ore obliquo, lobi rotundati, margine pilis glanduligeris 
ciliata, (corolla ceterum glaberrima), 2.5 ad 2.8 cm longa, ore

Fl. Aprili. 
Negros, Canlaon Volcano, Merrill 70^7, in the mossy forest, altitude 
about 1200 m. 
A plant distinguished from other similar ones in the same group by 
its filiform stems, all parts being very slender. The calyx in form and 
size is rather near to that of A. obconica C. B. Clarke and A, hiatis C. B.
