A species with the habit and much the general appearance of 
Cyrtandra auriculata C. B. Clarke, differing radically in its much 
smaller flowers and in its crenate not lobed leaves which are all 
petioled and similar in shape, the smaller one of each pair being 
usually about one-half as large as the larger one.

Planta parva, suffruticosa, caulis prostratis, radicantibus, 1.5

tis, inferioribus in paribus valde inaequalibus, superioribus sub- 
aequalibus, majoribus oblongo-obovatis ad oblongo-ellipticis, 5 
ad 8 cm longis, apice plerumque acutis, basi cuneatis, margine 
serratis, subtus pallidis, ad costa et nervis et reticulis perspicue _ 
ciliatis, nervis utrinque 6 vel 7; foliis minoribus 1 ad 1.5 cm 
longis, 5 ad 8 mm latis; floribus paucis, depauperato-umbellatis, 
2.5 cm longis, umbellis plerumque 38-floris, pedunculis pedicellis- 
que brevibus, hirsutis; bracteis lanceolatis, 6 ad 7 mm longis ;

A slender, prostrate, suffrutescent plant with short ascending 
branches, the stems copiously rooting, the older ones glabrous, 
about 1.5 mm in diameter, the younger parts and the leaves on the 
midrib, nerves and reticulations beneath conspicuously ciliate 
with slender, elongated, brown hairs. Leaves opposite, those 
of the lower pairs very dissimilar in shape and size, those of 
the uppermost pairs often subequal, all olivaceous, glabrous on 
the upper surface, paler beneath, membranaceous or chartaceous, 
the larger ones oblong-obovate to oblong-elliptic, 5 to 8 cm long, 
2 to 3 em wide, the apex usually acute, base usually cuneate, the 
margins rather sharply serrate, often conspicuously ciliate; 
lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the 
lower surface as are the primary reticulations; petioles about 
2 cm long; smaller leaves of each pair, at least in the lower 
part of the stem, similar in shape and texture to the larger ones, 
1 to 1.5 cm long, 5 to 8 mm wide. Inflorescences terminal or 
in the upper axils, their peduncles about 5 mm long, hirsute, 
each peduncle usually bearing 3 subumbellately arranged flowers,
