Insects must be very fond of the leaves in all stages, for I do not 
remember any Cyrtandra with leaves destroyed to such an extent by insects. 
If the leaves were opposite the plant could be compared with species of the 
§ Poljtiiesiae, Cyrtandra trifiora Gaudich. and C. Gai^iotiana Gaudich, for 
instance, bein^ similar in size, leaves and flowers, but even excepting the 
characters of the leaves there are discrepancies enough to place our plant 
in quite another section. The closer affinities among the § Dispares are 
very difficult to point out, and I believe that the whole section will have 
to be broken up when the genus is revised as a whole, 
CYRTANDRA SCANDENS Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Radidflorae). 
Fruticulus 1.25 m altus, epiphytus vel in cortice arborum 
affixus, scandens. Caulis lignosus, parsim radicibus obsitus, 
basi circ. 7 ad 8 mm crassus, supra attenuatus ibique fusco- 
pilosus, internodia 1 cm longa. Folia in apice caulis congesta 
ad 8, petiolata, lanceolata, basi et apice acuminata, margine 
integerrima, superne opaca, glabra, subtus glabriuscula, in 
nervis tantum paulum densius fulvo-pilosa, petiolis multo den- 
sius pilosis, maxima quae vidi, cum petiolo circ. 2.5 cm longo ad 
23 cm longa, 5 cm lata, minimum cum petiolo 2 cm longo 10 cm 
longum, 2 cm latum. Inflorescentiae in parte inferiore aphylla 
caulis radicibus oppositae, pedunculi brevissimi, vel vix ulli, 
pedicelli 2.5 cm longi, fusco-pilosi. Calyx glaber, profunde 
fissus, amplissimus, patens post anthesin persistens, segmenta 
ovata, acuta, 1.3 cm longa, 3 ad 4 mm lata. Corolla recta vel 
vix curvata, e basi baud ita angusta ampliata, lobis brevibus 
inter se vix diversis retusis, extus longe pilosa, 2 cm longa in 
orificio 8 mm diametro, Bacca oblonga, interdum calyce obce- 
lata, interdum nuda, stylo brevi coronata, 1.2 cm longa, 6 ad 7 
mm crassa. Flores purpurei, Fl. Aprili. 
Mindanao, Province of Surigao, Bolster 326, altitude 120 m. 
The calyx somewhat resembles that of Aeschynanthus obconica C. B. 
Clarke, and is deeply divided. Each flower apparently produces a berry, 
which, as the flowers are inconspicuous, is a rather singular character. 
CYRTANDRA H YPOCHRYSOIDES Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Polynesiae). 
Frutex volubilis. Caulis quadrangulus, sulcatus, dense ferru- 
gineo-villosus. Folia internodiis valde diversis sejuncta (2.5 
ad 6 cm longis) opposita, parum dissimilia, brevi-petiolata, 
oblonga, basi et apice brevi-acutata, margine fere toto brevi- 
dentata, superne opaca sparsim longeque pilosa, subtus palli-
