Frutex epiphyticus, scandens, gracile, inflorescentiis exceptis 
glaber; foliis coriaceis, anguste lanceolatis vel oblongis, glabris, 
circiter 7 cm longis, integris, nervis lateralibus obsoletis; caly- 
cibus tubulosis, breviter dentatis, extus parce capitellato-hirsutis, 
2 ad 2.5 cm longis; corolla 4 cm longa, cylindrica, extus parce 
hirsuta. 
An epiphytic, scandent shrub, the branches rather stout, 
terete, pale-brown when dry, very slightly pubescent or subglab- 
rous. Leaves opposite, lanceolate to narrowly oblong, thickly 
coriaceous, pale and more or less wrinkled when dry, 6 to 7 cm 
long, 1.5 to 2 cm wide, narrowed above to the blunt apex, the 
base acute, somewhat shining, the midrib prominent, the nerves 
and reticulations obsolete; petioles 5 to 7 mm long. Flowers 
axillary, the pedicels 6 to 8 mm long, solitary or 2 to 4 fascicled 
in the upper axils. Calyx tubular, 2 to 2.5 cm long, 6 to 8 mm 
in diameter, slightly inflated in the middle, 5-toothed, the teeth 
short, acute, outside with scattered, short, white, capitate hairs. 
Corolla red, about 4 cm long, narrowly tubular, the limb some- 
what spreading, irregularly 5-lobed, the lobes ovate, rounded, 
about 6 mm in diameter. Stamens 4, included or slightly ex-

floribus brevioribus latioribusque, circiter 2 cm longis, 
An epiphytic, scandent shrub, quite glabrous, the branches 
slender, terete, light-gray, 2 to 3 mm in diameter. Leaves fleshy

shining, oblong-ovate to oblong-lanceolate, 4 to 6 cm long, 1.5 to 
2 cm wide, entire, the base acute, the apex long and slenderly 
subcaudate-acuminate, the midrib distinct, the lateral nerves and 
reticulations obsolete; petioles about 2 mm long. Flowers scar- 
let, axillary, solitary, their pedicels about 1 cm long, jointed in 
the middle, with a pair of linear, obtuse, 4 mm long bracts near 
the joint. Calyx cleft to its base into linear, obtuse, 4 to 5 
mm lobes. Corolla scarlet, 2 cm long, glabrous, slightly curved,
