There are several points in which this appears to differ 
 Benerically from some species of Cyrtandra, and the remarkable 
form of the calyx and corolla might furnish good characters. 
It, however, closely resembles in foliage and habit some of 
Bh Specimens distributed by Dr. Wallich under his No. 
807, with the true C. frutescens Jack, a very different plant.
