DeceMBER 31, 1910] NEW AND INTERESTING GESNERACEAE 953 
margins subinvolute in the dry state, drying similarly brown 
on both sides, cuneate at the base; petiole less than 1 cm. 
long, glabrous; midrib conspicuously brown beneath when dry, 
the 3 to 5 ascending lateral pairs very obscure from beneath, 
more evident from the upper side. Inflorescence in small 
axillary fascicles or terminal, yellowish green, suberect, not 
rigid, odorless; pedicels 1 cm. long, more or less ridged when 
dry, glabrous, subtended by small bracts; corolla greenish with 
purple streaks on the inner side, glabrate except the ciliate mar- 
gins of the lobes and with crinked hairs in the tube toward 
the base, tubular, nearly straight, slightly thickened toward 
the apex; lobes nearly equal, 4 mm. long, rounded at 
the apex, the basal sinus much deeper; stamens 4, fertile; 
anthers oblong, 2.5 mm. long, subbasifixed; filaments attach- 
ed to the middle of the corolla tube, exerted, glandular 
hairy except at the distal end and toward the base; ovary 
glabrous, elongated; calyx 5-segmented clear to the base, 
subequal, setaceously linear, glabrous, at most 2 mm. wide 
at the base, 2.5 to 4 em. long; disk cartilaginous, nearly 
1 mm. deep; pod terete, 3 dm. long, gradually tapering 
toward both ends, numerously seeded in both septal halves; 
achene 1.75 mm. long, subterete and subcylindric or oblong 
in outline, pustulate, at the distal end with a single 4 
cm. long silky white hair, at the base with a crown of simi- 
lar hairs but only one half as long. 
Type specimen 10492, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Axo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, May, 1909. ; 
Discovered in damp deep woods at 4000 feet, growing 
from the root clusters of other epiphytic vines and herbs 
clustered about large tree trunks or upon the upper side 
of the limbs of large trees. 
From description it is near Aeschnanthus motleyi Clarke, 
but calyx tube none, its segments twice as long and much 
narrower. It reminded me of an Asclepiadaceae and is call- 
ed ''Culili" by the Bagobos. Quite rare!
