CYRTANDRA BARNESII sp. nov. § Dissimiles. 
Frutex erectus, 1 ad 3 m altus, perspicue ciliatus; foliis oppo- 
sitis, in paribus valde inaequalibus, majoribus petiolatis, oblongo- 
oblanceolatis ad oblongo-obovatis, 15 ad 22 cm longis, acuminatis, 
basi cuneatis, nervis utrinque circiter 8, minoribus sessilibus, 
ovatis, 2 ad 5 cm longis, perspicue lateque cordatis; floribus 4 cm 
longis, paucis, fasciculatis vel depauperato-umbellatis; bracteis 2 
vel 3, elliptico-ovatis, 5 ad 8 mm longis; calycis pilosis, 15 ad 
20 mm longis, lobis lanceolatis, caudato-acuminatis, 10 ad 12 
mm longis; corolla pilosa, tubo deorsum angustato; ovario 
dense ferrugineo-piloso. 
An erect shrub 1 to 3 m high, the branchlets, younger leaves, 
and inflorescences rather conspicuously ciliate with elongated, 
weak, jointed hairs, the older branches glabrous or nearly so. 
Leaves opposite, those of each pair very unequal in shape and size, 
the larger ones oblong-oblanceolate to oblong-obovate, 15 to 22 
cm long, 5 to 7 cm wide, rather prominently acuminate, narrowed 
below to the cuneate and usually distinctly inequilateral Vase, 
the margins rather coarsely toothed; lateral nerves about 8 on 
each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, the 
reticulations distinct, lax ; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long; smaller leaves 
of each pair sessile or subsessile, ovate, 2 to 5 cm long, 1.5 
to 3 cm wide, deeply cordate, scarcely acuminate, rather coarsely 
toothed. Both types of leaves are chartaceous, olivaceous on the 
upper surface, paler beneath and supplied on both surfaces with 
few to many, weak, spreading, jointed hairs. Inflorescences 
axillary, the flowers white, about 4 cm long, fascicled or in very 
greatly reduced, usually 2- or 3-flowered, short-peduncled umbels, 
the peduncles when present about 5 mm long and supplied with 
a whorl of 2 or 3 ovate to elliptic-ovate, somewhat pilose bracts 
5 to 8 mm in length, the pedicels pilose, up to 1 cm in length or 
somewhat longer in fruit. Calyx 15 to 20 mm long, supplied 
with numerous, weak, jointed hairs, the tube broad, 5 to 8 mm 
long, the lobes lanceolate, caudate-acuminate, 10 to 12 mm long. 
Corolla tube rather narrowed below, widened above, sparingly 
pilose externally. Filaments 12 mm long, glabrous, the anthers 
ellipsoid, 3 mm long, connate throughout; staminodes slender, 
glabrous, 5 to 6 mm long. Disk cylindric or cup-shaped, gla- 
brous, 2 mm long, shallowly lobed or crenate. Ovary oblong, 
densely subferruginous-pilose; styles about 11 mm long, pilose, 
somewhat thickened in the upper 4 mm and supplied with capi- 
tate-glandular hairs ; stigma about 3 mm wide, 2 mm long, elliptic
