ovatis, obtusis, 1 cm longis; antheris leviter exsertis; ovario 
glabro; folliculis 13 ad 17: cm longis, 4 mm diametro. 
A scandent, apparently fleshy vine, the younger branches,

Branches usually reddish brown, glabrous, about 3 mm in diam- 
eter. Leaves coriaceous, oblong, 2.5 to 3.5 cm long, 1 to 1.5 
cm wide, rather pale when dry, somewhat narrowed upward to

inous and somewhat recurved when dry, the midrib obscure 
or sometimes obsolete on the upper surface, rather prominent 
on the lower surface, the lateral nerves obsolete or nearly so, 
when young very sparingly pilose, ultimately glabrous; petioles 
3 to 4 mm long, at first sparingly pilose, ultimately glabrous. 
Flowers red, about 4 cm long, somewhat curved, the peduncles 
about 5 mm long, each 2-flowered and terminal and in the 
uppermost axils, the pedicels 1 cm in length, somewhat pilose. 
Calyx 12 mm long, slightly widened upward, the lobes very 
broadly ovate, obtuse, about 2 mm long. Corolla tube 8 to 10 
mm wide when flattened, distinctly curved, about 2.5 cm long, 
sparingly pubescent externally with scattered jointed hairs, 
the mouth oblique, the lobes ovate, obtuse, up to 1 cm long. 
Stamens slightly exserted, the anthers 3 mm in length. Ovary 
and disk glabrous, the style about 3 mm long, villous. Follicles 
cylindric, glabrous, 13 to 17 cm long, about 4 mm in diameter,

MINDANAO, Bukidnon Subprovince, Mount Candoon, Bur. Sci. 
38869 (type) 38922 Ramos & Edaho, June and July, 1920. In 
the mossy forest, altitude 1,100 to 1,800 meters. 
A species somewhat intermediate in characters between 
Trichosporum malindangense Merr. and T. copelandii Merr. 
(Aeschynanthus camiguinensis Kranzl., A. serpens Kranzl.), 
its calyces being twice as long as T. copelandti and T. urdanetense 
Elm., but much shorter and with much shorter corollas than is 
the case with T. malindangense.
