in anthesis about 3 cm long, the buds subsessile or shortly 
pediceled. Each flower is subtended by an oblong-elliptic, 
membranaceous, cinereous-pubescent bract which is supplied 
also with few, scattered, stinging, brown hairs, and is about 
3 cm long and 12 mm wide, and by two similar but smaller 
bracteoles about 2.5 cm long and 8 mm wide, the bracts and 
bracteoles deciduous. Calyx broadly cup-shaped, cinereous- 
pubescent with numerous, brown, stinging hairs, the tube 
about 1 cm long, the upper lobe broadly ovate, obtuse, 4 to 5 
mm long, the lower lip 3-lobed, the lobes narrowly lanceolate, 
acuminate, the two lateral ones 5 to 7 mm long, the middle 
one up to 1 cm in length. Standard oblong-ovate, obtuse, 4 cm 
long, 2 cm wide, glabrous; wings oblong, obtuse, 7 cm long, 
1.5 cm wide, shortly clawed, the basal auricle oblong, obtuse, 
2.6 mm long, somewhat pubescent near the base; keel equaling 
the wings, 1 cm wide (folded), slightly curved above, acute. 
Stamens glabrous, all parts free; filaments about 10 mm long. 
Ovary oblong, 10 mm long, densely hirsute with long hairs; 
style appressed-hirsute.

In damp forests along the margins of old clearings at low alti- 
tudes; locally known as malanipai. 
This species belongs in the section Zoopthalmum and prob- 
ably in the subsection Citta, although fruiting material is neces- 
sary to verify this. Striking characters are its membranaceous, 
glabrous leaflets; its short-peduncled infructescences; its mem- 
branaceous, conspicuous, deciduous bracts and bracteoles; and 
its purplish-black flowers.
