blades 1.5 dm. long, 5 cm. wide across the middle or a 
trifle below it, short obtuse at the base, oblong, occasionally 
a trifle wider below the middle, the basal one third entire, 
otherwise undulately apiculate or subentire; midrib con- 
spicuous beneath, with 9 to 11 ascendingly curved pairs | 
whose tips form a united submarginal line especially toward 
the apex, reticulations none, all tawny brown, at first tawny 
pubescent but soon becoming glabrate, ascending. Flowers 
upon short bracteate tubercles or branchlets, in either the 
leaf axils or in the axils of their sears; bracts linearly 
or lanceolately oblong, much twisted in the brown dry 
state, olivaceous hairy on the back especially dense on 
the margins, acuminate, 1 cm. long or much shorter; 
pedicels slender, 1 em. long, olivaceous pubescent, gla-

green, 1 em. long, the 5 acute segments about 5 mm. long, 
otherwise united; corolla 2 cm. long, pale flesh red, glabrous, 
much inflated above the middle, nearly straight; segments 
broadly triangular, obtuse at the recurved apex, 5; stamens 
2, fertile, included; filaments glabrous, fleshy, curved, in-

Type specimen 12529, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. I 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, May, ' 
1910. 
Climbing upon small trees leaning over a deeply shad- 
ed mountain stream at 1750 feet, near the trail to Espafia. 
Also a near relative of C. tayabensis Elm., but differs in 
having broader leaves whose bases are not attenuate nor 
are the margins entire, reticulations entirely obscure, and 
with other minor characters.
