oblanceolate or the lower ones sometimes lanceolate, 10 to 20 cm 
long, 2 to 6 cm wide, the apex rather slenderly acuminate, nar- 
rowed below to the cuneate base, the margins conspicuously 
toothed, especially toward the apex where the teeth are large 
and irregular, the upper surface dark-olivaceous with very few 
widely scattered, weak hairs, ultimately glabrous or nearly so, the 
lower surface conspicuously and softly villous; lateral nerves 
about 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations 
very lax; petioles 2 to 3cm long. Inflorescences from the trunk 
or larger branches below the leaves, peduncled, cymose, all parts 
densely villous with weak spreading hairs, the peduncles 1 to 2 cm 
long, the pedicels 5 to 8 mm long, the subtending bracts lanceo- 
late or linear-lanceolate, 1 cm long or less. Calyx including the 
very slender lobes about 1.5 cm long, the lobes linear, about 1 cm 
in length. Corolla slender, about 2 cm long, externally prom- 
inently villous. Style somewhat pubescent.

This species apparently belongs in the group with Cyrtandra 
ramiflora Elm., from which C. laxa Elm. is scarcely distinguish- 
able. It differs radically from the above species in its totally 
different leaves, flowers, and inflorescences.

Planta scandens, partibus junioribus parce pilosis vel glabris; 
foliis coriaceis, oblongo-ovatis ad oblongis, usque ad 6 cm longis, 
basi rotundatis, apice acutis vel obtusis; floribus axillaribus, 
solitariis vel binis, glabris vel subglabris, calycis subtruncatis, 
cylindraceis, 1.2 ad 1.5 cm longis, corolla leviter curvata’, 4 ad 4.5 
cm longa. 
A scandent vine, the stems up to 3 mm in diameter, the 
younger parts sparingly pilose with weak, widely scattered hairs, 
soon becoming glabrous or nearly so. Leaves fleshy when fresh, 
coriaceous when dry, oblong-ovate to oblong, 2.5 to 6 cm long, 
1.5 to 2.5 em wide, the base rounded, the apex acute or obtuse; 
lateral nerves usually 4 on each side of the midrib, often obsolete, 
never prominent; petioles about 5 mm long. Flowers axillary, 
usually 2 on each peduncle, the peduncle less than 5 mm long. 
Calyx cylindric, truncate or somewhat angulate, 1.2 to 1.5 cm 
long, usually glabrous. Corolla apparently reddish, somewhat 
curved, 4 to 4.5 cm long, glabrous or nearly so, the lobes ovate
