medium circiter divisus, 6 ad 7 mm longus, patens, glaber, lobi 
apice rotundati. Corolla curvata, sensim ampliata, in lobos 5 
transverse obiongos, rotundatos, inter se vix diversos partita, 
extus sparse pilosa, in margine loborum fimbriata, 2.5 ad utplu- 
rimum 2.8 cm longa, in orificio 1.2 cm diametro, intus glabra. 
Stamina glabra corollam subaequantia, non excedentia, stylus 
staminibus aequilongus. Capsula submatura ad 20 cm longa, 
teres, apice vix basin versus longius attenuata. Flores rubri.

Very near Dichrotrichum chorisepalum C. B. Clarke, but smaller in all 
its parts. The flowers also present some characters, not very great, it 
is true, but of sufficient importance to be noted. With more material for 
comparison this species may, perhaps, ultimately be reduced to Clarke's 
species as a variety. For the present, however, it seems better to give it 
specific rank, especially as the material does not impress me as being from 
a weak or depauperate specimen.

CYRTANDRA WILLIAMSII Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Dispares). 
Frutex 1 m altus. Rami tenues, fragiles, pallide grisei, glabri, 
etiam in apice. Folia alterna altero nempe omnino obsolete, 
in tuberculum vix conspicuum reducto, cum opposito evoluto 
linea elevatula connexo. Folia brevi-petiolata obovato-oblonga 
vel oblonga, acuta, superne et subtus (etiam in venis et petiolo) 
glaberrima, superne pallida, secus nervos principales quorum 
utrinque 6 adsunt, paulum intensius colorati, subtus fere livida, 
cum petiolo 1 cm longo ad 15 cm longa, 5 cm lata. Inflorescen- 
tiae binae oppositae, dichasiales, pauciflorae, pedunculi tenu- 
issimi, 2 cm longi, ipsi, pedicelli calycesque minutissime pilosi, 
bracteae lanceolatae, pedicellos subaequantes. Calyx basi cam- 
panulatus, lobis late triangulis longe acuminatis, 4 mm longus. 
Corolla calycem subduplo superans, cylindracea, 8 ad 9 mm 
longa; de limbo et lobis aliquid certi proferre non audeo. Sta- 
mina in medio tubo afRxa, filamenta fere horizon talia ; ovarium 
ovatum in stylum breviusculum crassum attenuatum, stigma 
magnum obliquum, discus satis altus, margine integer; haec 
ommia glabra, Flores albi. Baccae 9-10 mm longae, 6-7 mm 
crassae, albae, colore ceris. FL Februario. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Sax River, Williams 2087, altitude 
about 200 m. 
Another unattractive or at least insignificant species. I had but a single 
flower at my disposal, the basal parts fairly well preserved, but destroyed 
at the throat. It is rather difficult to indicate its affinities. There seems 
to be a small group of the section Dispares, all unattractive plants, confined 
to Mindanao.
