2666 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. VII, Arr. 114 
ovate, obtuse at both ends or obtusely rounded at the base, 
the blades 4 to 6 cm long by 1.25 to 1.75 em wide below 
the middle, appressed cinereous on the upper surface, tomentose 
beneath, the basal one third entire, otherwise crenately tooth- 
ed, curing grayish brown on both sides; petiole reddish 
brown when fresh, 2 to 5 cm long, grayish white hirsute, 
apical buds and young leaves densely covered with whitish 
hairs; midrib whiter pubescent beneath, with 3 to 4 alter- 
nating pairs of much ascending lateral nerves, cross bars or 
reticulations none. Inflorescence usually solitary from the 
leaf axils, upon yellowish gray densely hairy divaricate pe- 
duncles 1 em in length; pedicels severally clustered in a false 
umbel, slenderer, similarly hairy, ascendingly curved and fi- 
nally interlaced, subtended at the base by a pair of oblong 
and strigose foliaceously tipped bracts, the pedicels in the 
fresh state reddish tinged; calyx 5.5 mm long, apparently 
5-segmented, united about the base, green, pubescent on the 
outside; segments widest above the middle, apex broadly 
rounded, linearly oblong, 1.25 mm wide; corolla 2.5 cm long, 
6 mm thick across the middle, curved above the middle, 
cylindric, the lobulate throat very oblique, puberulent on the 
exterior; lower segment reflexed, 3-lobed, 5 mm long, the 
lobes obovately oblong, the middle one broader but not 
longer, apices broadly rounded, densely pubescent toward the 
apex even on the ventral side; the 2 lateral lobes short and 
broad; the upper one straight, somewhat shorter than the 
lower lip, broadly bilobed, scftly pubescent toward the mar- 
ginal portion; stamens of 2 pairs; the filaments of the low- 
er pair from the middle lower portion of the corolla tube 
and ascendingly curved toward the anthers, at least 1 cm 
long, filifrom and glabrous, those of the upper pair simi- 
lar though arising from the upper middle portion of the 
corolla tube and descendingly curved toward the anthers; 
anthers oblong, 1.5 mm long, the folded cells plane on the 
introrse surface, connective thick especially toward the abrupt- 
ly constricted apex which are usually contiguous, bilobed 
at the base; ovary at the base surrounded by a crustaceous 
glabrous rim, nearly black when dry, 2.5 em long, gla- 
brous except the puberulous distal end; stigma of 2 rather 
large recurved fleshy lobes.
