There are, however, so many discrepancies between the present species 
Mnd that of Miquel, that it is impossible to unite them. The material avail- 
able was in better condition than in most specimens of the § AureaCy and 
the flowers of firmer texture and more easily detached. The leaves bear a 
certain resemblance to those of some species of Ahius. 
CYRTANDRA BATAANENSI3 Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Diapares) .

It is difficult to determine the exact affinity of this species, although it 
somewhat resembles Cyrtandra dispar DC. The flowers are larger than in 
DeCandolle's species and it seems that they appear one at a time on the 
few-flowered, short inflorescence, and although they are showy enough, they 
are hidden by the very large leaves. 
CYRTANDRA UMBELLATA Kranzl. sp. nov, (§ Polynesiae). 
Frutex, ramus unicus qui praestat 30 cm longus, teres vel vix 
tetragonus, cortice plerumque glabro, apicem versus tantum 
brunneo-setoso tectus. Folia opposita aequimagna, intemodiis 
4 ad 8 cm longis inter se sejuncta, satis longe (1.5 cm) petiolata, 
late oblonga ellipticave, apice obtusa vel breviacutata, supra gla- 
berrima, opaca, subtus in nervis et margine rufo- vel vulpino- 
pilosa, ceterum glabra, pallidiora, 6 ad 11 cm longa, 3 ad 5 cm 
lata, nervis utrinque 8. Inflorescentiae corymbosae, umbellam 
quam maxime ludentes, longe (9 ad 10 cm) pedunculatae, circ. 
10-florae, bracteae florum omnino umbellae involucrum ludentes, 
lanceolatae, pedicellos 1,3 cm longos semiaequantes, tenuiter fus-
