Kränzlin, F., Cyrtandraceae Malavae insulares novae. (Journal 

 of the Linnean Society of London. Vol. XXXVII. No. 260. 1906. 

 p. 275—285.) 



The author publishes a number of new species of Malayan Cyr- 

 tandraceae, the type-specimens of which are in the Herbarium at 

 K e w. Four new species of Cyrtandra, belonging to the section 

 Polynesiae are described (viz. C. macrodiscus, C. micrantha, C. 

 Bengiietiana, and C ilicifoUa) ; they belong to the type, which so 

 far had its only known representative in C. parviflora C. B. Clarke, 

 and a new subsection (Parviflorae) of the Polynesiae is suggested 

 to include these five species. C rhizantha n. sp. is suggested as 

 a new subsection of the Decurrentes (owing to its peculiar type of 

 growth) to be named Heteroblastae in contrast to the remaining 

 members of Decurrentes (Homoioblastae) . 



The new species described are as follows: 



Cyrtandra (§ Dispares) tiibiflora (near C. oblongifolia Benth. 

 and Hook, but one leaf of every pair reduced to a little scale) ; C. 

 (§ Stellatae) liypoclirysea (near C. clirysea C. B. Clarke, but with 

 stalked inflorescences and larger flowers); C. (§ Decurrentes) riii- 

 zantha (flrs. produced on separate short branches arising directly 

 from the subterranean stein; leaf-bearing stem flowerless); C. (§ De- 

 currentes) gracilenta (near C. navicellata Zippel, but with narrower 

 leaves, much shorter petiole and longer corolla); C. (§ Jackianae) 

 cretacea (leaves whitish-green on the upper, covered with an elegant 

 network of numerous anastomosing veins, clothed with dark brown 

 silky hairs on the lower side ; near C. bicolor Jack) ; C. (§ Poly- 

 nesiae) macrodiscus (flrs. distinctly bilabiate with a large disc below 

 ovary, leaves like those of certain oaks) ; (C. (§ Polynesiae) mi- 

 crantha (very near C. parviflora C. B. Clarke, but differs in having 

 curved stamens, non-cohering anthers and glabrous filaments) ; C. 

 (Polynesiae) Benguetiana (near C. parviflora, but of small size; 

 leaves with remarkable golden-brownish veins on underside); C. 

 (§ Polynesiae) ilicifoUa (near C. parviflora but more slender throug- 

 hout and with inconspicuous flrs.); Aeschynanthus (§ Holocalyx 1) 

 cordifolia (exactly cordate, rather small leaves; stamens very short); 

 A. (§ Holocalyx 1) rhodophylla (near A. parvifolia R. Br. and A. 

 Teysmanniana Miq., but with small convex leaves, having a pale, 

 rox-coloured hue, especially on the underside); A. (§ Holocalyx 2) 

 Hoseana (with creeping stems, rooting from all the nodes ; all parts 

 glabrous except the inside of the 3 inferior corolla-lobes and fila- 

 ments); A. (§ Polytrichium) traseriana (differs from A. Motleyi 

 C. B. Clarke in size and shape of leaves, shorter calyx-lobes, and 

 size and shape of pistil). F. E. Fritsch.
