A rather commonplace-looking species of no more, or even less attractive- 
ness than our species of Polygojiwni and Lamiuvi growing in waste places. 
The undulate and crenulate lower lip of the corolla, however, is a character 
rarely found in Cyrtandra.

A plant resembling Cyrtandra ilicifolia Kranzl. and C. bcnguetiana 
Kranzl., but distinguished by its long-stalked, few-flowered inflorescences 
and especially by its long corolla-lip, somewhat resembling the lower lip 
of a Plcctranthus. All the characters of the lower lip of the corolla cannot 
be determined from the material available, as in the flower examined it was 
somewhat damaged.
