LUZON, Benguet Province, Mount Tonglon, For. Bur. 920 
Barnes (type), May, 1904, Merrill 7801, May, 1911. In very 
damp shaded ravines in the mossy forest, altitude about 2,000 
meters. A form of the same species is represented by Bur. 
Sei. 37541, 37800 Ramos & Edafio from Bontoc and Kalinga 
Subprovinces, Luzon, February and March, 1920, these speci- 
mens differing from the type in being more densely pilose and 
in some of the larger leaves being. obtuse or even obliquely 
cordate at the base. 
This species has been confused with Cyrtandra lobbii C. B. 
Clarke, from which it differs radically in its very dissimilar 
leaves, the smaller one of the pair being sessile, ovate, deeply 
cordate and entirely different in shape and size from the larger 
one of each pair. 
CYRTANDRA ZAMBOANGENSIS sp. nov. § Dissimiles. 
Species C. auriculatae affinis, differt foliis omnibus petiolatis, 
crenatis, haud lobatis, paribus leviter inaequalibus, floribus 
multo minoribus, ovarium glabrum. 
A slender, prostrate, conspicuously ciliate herb, the main stems 
up to 30 cm in length, rooting at their nodes, and with short 
ascending branches, the stems, branches, and branchlets densely 
ciliate with rather weak, jointed hairs. Leaves opposite, those 
of each pair unequal, all petioled, the larger one of each pair 
usually about twice as large as the smaller one but similar in 
shape, the larger ones elliptic, up to 4 cm long and 2.2 cm wide, 
the smaller ones up to 2°em long and 1.5 cm wide, all mem- 
branaceous to chartaceous, olivaceous, obtuse or rounded, acute 
to rounded at the base, somewhat crenate, both surfaces 
supplied with numerous, long, weak, jointed hairs, these hairs 3 
to 5 mm in length, pale; lateral nerves 4 or 5 on each side of the 
midrib, not prominent; petioles densely villous, 5 to 15 mm long. 
Flowers white, about 14 mm long, terminal or in the upper axils, 
the peduncles 1 to 2 mm long, pilose, 2-flowered, 2-bracteate, the 
bracts oblong, 3 mm long, somewhat pilose, the pedicels 1 to 1.5 
mm in length. Calyx 6 mm long, pilose, the lobes 5, lanceolate, 
caudate-acuminate, as long as the tube. Corolla tube sparingly 
pilose in the lower half, the tube slender in the lower 5 to 6 mm, 
then widened, the lobes ovate, 3 to 3.5 mm long. Filaments 
2.5 mm long, glabrous, the anthers 1 mm in length. Disk cup- 
shaped, glabrous, 1 mm high, crenulate. Ovary oblong-ovoid,
