Cyrtandra (§ Stellate) eriophtlla, S. Mooro, sp. nov. 



Caidis crassus, densissime fulvo-villoso-tomentosus. FoUa breviter petiolata, ovato- 

 oblonga, basi apiceque obtusa, margiue repanda, coriacea, vitrobique densissime 

 appresse fulvo- (vel brunneo-) villoso-tomeutosa, in pagina superiore bullata 

 tardiusque glabrescentia, summum 11x5 cm., interdum modo 7x3 cm. Flores 

 fasciculati, bracteis amplis late ovatis irregulariter laceratis dense villoso-tomen- 

 tosis +1'5 cm. longis 2 cm. latis involucrati. Pedicelli villosi, circa 5 mm. longi. 

 Calyx campanulatus, dense villoso-tomentosus, usque ad medium partitas ; seg- 

 menta inferne deltoidea, siiperne linearia, lana densissima involuta, 7 mm. longa. 

 Corolla dense villoso-tomentosa, calycem plane superans, 24 mm. longa; tubus 

 subrectus, in dimidio inferiore cylindricus, 10X4 mm., sursum inflatus, 9x8 mm. ; 

 limbus subbilabiatus, lobis posticis reliquis minoribus brevioribusque, antico latera- 

 libus simili nisi longiore 6 mm. longo. Stamina inclusa ; antherarum loculi 

 cobterentes. Staminodia 2, filiformia vel spatliulata, 2-2'5 mm. long. Ocarium 

 ovoideo-oblongum, glabrum, 5 mm. longum, in stylam glabrum 8 mm. longum 

 desinens. 

 Camps XI to XII, 8300 to 11,000 ft. 

 Petioles stout, very woolly, 1-2 cm. long. Fascicles of flowers apparently sessile or 



nearly so. Flowers "deep brownisb yellow." Filaments 3 mm. long; antbers as long 



as tbe filaments. 



The affinity of tbis seems to be with C. chrysea, C. B. Clarke, and C. hypoch^ysea, 



Kriinzl., especially with the latter, but, inter alia, their calyx and corolla are different. 



Owing largely to tbis supposed affinity, I have placed tbe present plant in § Stellatce, 



although its calyx is not divided quite according to tbe definition of that section. 

 The flowers being all detached, their relation to the stem is uncertain.
