perspicuis, margine distanter serratis; floribus axillaribus, fas- 
ciculatis, 2 cm longis, corollae tubo infra angustato, aequaliter 
5-lobato, lobis circiter 2 mm longis; ovario glabro. 
A shrub, apparently scandent, the young branchlets usually 
densely villous with brown or ferruginous hairs, the older parts 
entirely glabrous. Leaves opposite, equal, coriaceous or subco- 
riaceous, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 7 to 10 em long, 3.5 to 5 cm 
wide, dark-olivaceous and smooth above when dry, the lower 
surface paler, glabrous, apex shortly acuminate, base acute to 
decurrent-acuminate, the margins distantly serrate; lateral 
nerves 7 or 8 on each side of the midrib, very prominent on the 
lower surface, the reticulations lax, distinct; petioles at first 
ferruginous-villous, soon becoming entirely glabrous, 3 to 4 cm 
long. Flowers axillary, pink, about 2 cm long, fascicled, their 
ferruginous-villous pedicels about 1 cm long or less, subtended 
by a whorl of small, lanceolate bracts. Calyx about 10 mm long, 
7 mm in diameter, ovoid or ellipsoid, black when dry, subcoria- 
ceous, glabrous, the lobes 5, oblong-ovate, acute or slightly acu- 
minate, 3 to 3.5 mm long. Corolla 2 cm long, the lower 12 mm 
slender, about 2 mm in diameter, then somewhat enlarged and 
6 to 7 mm wide when flattened out, slightly pubescent externally 
or glabrous, the lobes 5, equal, broadly ovate, obtuse, about 2 
mm long. Disk glabrous, truncate, about 1.5 mm high. Ovary 
and style glabrous. Fruit soft, fleshy, ellipsoid, about 12 mm 
long.

altitude about 1,000 meters. 
This species is closely allied to Cyrtandra tayabensis Elm., 
from which it is distinguished by its smaller, fewer-nerved 
leaves and its entirely glabrous ovaries.
