O / Cyrtandra copelandii Elm. n. sp. 
A low and lax undershrub or subherbaceous; stems few 
to several from the same root cluster, reclining and rigid 
toward the base, finally ascending, unbranched or sparingly 
branched, crooked or curved, 1 em thick, 1 to 1.5 m high, 
terete; roots long, rigid; woody tissue greenish white with 
a large pith, covered with yellowish gray bark; twigs when 
young isabellinus tomentose. Leaves of few opposite pairs 
toward the distal end of the stem or branchlets, thinly 
leathery, horizontal and recurved toward the obtuse to acute 
apex, base cuneate, deep green and thinly woolly hairy on 
the upper surface but ultimately glabrate, soft tomentose 
and much paler beneath, drying very unequally on the 
2 sides, oblong to elliptically oblong or the smallest 5 
cm long ones obuvately oblong, averaging 2 dm long with- 
out the petiole and 7.5 cm wide at the middle, margins 
entire toward the base, otherwise serrately toothed; midrib 
very prominent, with similarly colored woolly hairs; lateral 
nerves 17 to 23 pairs, pinnate, divaricate and slightly curv- 
ed, much less prominent though similarly pubescent, the 
basal one or two pairs short, reticulations obscure and mainly 
in the marginal one half of the blade; petiole 1.5 to 2 cm 
long, broadly flattened along the upper side especially to- 
ward the expanded base, thickly woolly though the upper 
surface in the old ones glabrous. Inflorescence chiefly in 
small clusters from the old leaf axils along the stem or 
branches, divaricate or subpendulous, 2 to 4 cm long, branch- 
ed from below the middle; peduncles isabellinus woolly,
