CYRTANDRA (§ DISSIMILES) HOMOPLASTICA, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Caulis ramosus, ramis subtetragonis superne pubescentibus mox glabris paucifoliosis. 
Folia opposita, maxime inzequalia, majora breviter petiolata, oblongo-oblanceolata, 
cuspidato-attenuata, apice ipso obtusa, basi parum obliqua obtusa, margine dentata, 
pergamacea, glabra, folia minora parvula, subulata, diutule persistentia, 4 mm. 
longa. Flores bini, hac utque illac ex ramis foliis jam orbis orti; pedunculi 
nulli; pedicelli filiformes, calyce seepius paullo longiores, ut calyx obscure puberuli, 
5-10 mm. longi. Calyx 7 x 4 mm., tubuloso-campanulatus, corolla brevior, breviter 
5-lobus, lobis deltoideis obtusis 1:5 mm. longis. Corolla 19 mm. longa, extus fere 
glabra; tubus subrectus, ex calyce eminens, infundibularis, 11 mm. longus; lobi 
postiei ceteris minores, suborbiculares, 3 mm. diam.; lobus anticus comparate 
elongatus, 8 mm. long. Stamina inclusa; anthere cohsrentes, dein libere. 
Ovarium subsessile, ovoideum, glabrum, vix 3 mm. longum, stylo puberulo 13 mm. 
longo terminatum. | 
Camps VIII to IX, 4900 to 5500 ft. i 
Tips of branches and very young buds springing therefrom covered with a close rusty 
tomentum. Leaves with midrib and the 6-8 pairs of lateral nerves prominent below ; 
petioles stout, deeply channelled, puberulous, 5-7 mm. long. filaments nearly 1 cm. 
long; anthers oblong, cells slightly diverging at the base, 2°25 mm. long. Staminodes 
, 
apparently absent. 
In appearance this is very like C. quercifolia ; indeed, its leaves are, except for their 
shorter narrowed tip, scarcely distinguishable. ‘Ihe flowers, however, are in several 
respects different. 
The front lobe of the only flower available for examination has become partly 
separated, so that its exact length (and thus the length of the tube of the corolla) 
cannot be stated, although the measurement given above is believed to be correct. 
It is worthy of remark that occasionally both the leaves of a pair are reduced to 
small stipule-like organs. |
