A striking species, and in full flower certainly a beautiful plant. It is 
undoubtedly allied to C. dispar C. B. Clarke, which it resembles even to 
its slender, elongate ovary. I observed in this species small cleistogamous 
flowers with globose ovaries, short styles, well developed stamens and quite 
rudimentary corollas. 
CYRTANDRA GLABRA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Polynesiae). 
Frutex 1.5 m altus, rami tetragon!, glaberrimi, cortice pallide 
luteo, subtus nitido, superne fusco, glabro tecti, breviter fracti- 
flexi, internodia 2 ad 3 cm longa. Folia opposita, plus minus 
(interdum valde) inaequalia, longe petiolata, superne et subtus 
necnon petioli omnino glabrus, oblongo-Ianceolata, acuta vel acu- 
minata, margine femote et paucidentata, dentibus obtusis, petioli 
2 ad 3 cm longi, laminae ad 10 cm longae, 4 ad 5 cm latae, plerum- 
que minora, nervi principales utrinque 7 vel 8. Inflorescentiae 
pedunculatae, floribus in dichasium typicum pauciflorum disposi- 
tis, bracteae cito deciduae, mihi von visae, pedunculi circ. 2.5 cm 
longi pedicellique breviores tenuissimi, filiformes. Calyx ample 
campanulatus, post anthesin praestans, lobis brevibus triangulis, 
3 mm longus et diam., glaber. Corolla campanulata, recta, lobis 
labii superioris parvis, acutiusculis, illis labii inferioris majori- 
bus rotundatis, tota corolla 1 cm longa, 5 mm diam. Stamina 
medio in tube afRxa, filamentis valde curvatis; ovarium subglo- 
bosum, glabrum, discus in annulum reductus, stylus antheras 
attingens, e basi tenui incrassatum in stigma pro flore maximum, 
tub! diametro fere aequale dilatatum. Bacca globosa, verrucosa 
(an siccitate) intense purpurea, ut videtur valde succosa. Flores 
purpurascentes (?), certe non albi. Fl. Novembri.

The most striking character of this rather commonplace looking plant is 
its entire lack of pubescence. Not even the nerves on the lower surface of 
the leaves, the petioles, or the styles show any traces of hairs, parts of 
the plant that in comparatively glabrous species of Cyrtandra show traces 
of pubescence.
