Frutex epiphyticus, scandens, gracile, inflorescentiis exceptis 

 glaber; foliis coriaceis, anguste lanceolatis vel oblongis, glabris, 

 circiter 7 cm longis, integris, nervis lateralibus obsoletis; caly- 

 cibus tubulosis, breviter dentatis, extus parce capitellato-hirsutis, 

 2 ad 2.5 cm longis; corolla 4 cm longa, cylindrica, extus parce 

 hirsuta. 



An epiphytic, scandent shrub, the branches rather stout, 

 terete, pale-brown when dry, very slightly pubescent or subglab- 

 rous. Leaves opposite, lanceolate to narrowly oblong, thickly

 long, 1.5 to 2 cm wide, narrowed above to the blunt apex, the 

 base acute, somewhat shining, the midrib prominent, the nerves 

 and reticulations obsolete; petioles 5 to 7 mm long. Flowers 

 axillary, the pedicels 6 to 8 mm long, solitary or 2 to 4 fascicled 

 in the upper axils. Calyx tubular, 2 to 2.5 cm long, 6 to 8 mm 

 in diameter, slightly inflated in the middle, 5-toothed, the teeth 

 short, acute, outside with scattered, short, white, capitate hairs. 

 Corolla red, about 4 cm long, narrowly tubular, the limb some- 

 what spreading, irregularly 5-lobed, the lobes ovate, rounded,

Species T. philippinense affinis, differt pedunculis unifloris, 

 floribus brevioribus latioribusque, circiter 2 cm longis. 



An epiphytic, scandent shrub, quite glabrous, the branches 

 slender, terete, light-gray, 2 to 3 mm in diameter. Leaves fleshy 

 when fresh, when dry coriaceous, pale-brownish, dull or slightly 

 shining, oblong-ovate to oblong-lanceolate, 4 to 6 cm long, 1.5 to 

 2 cm wide, entire, the base acute, the apex long and slenderly 

 subcaudate-acuminate, the midrib distinct, the lateral nerves and 

 reticulations obsolete ; petioles about 2 mm long. Flowers scar- 

 let, axillary, solitary, their pedicels about 1 cm long, jointed in 

 the middle, with a pair of linear, obtuse, 4 mm long bracts near 

 the joint. Calyx cleft to its base into linear, obtuse, 4 to 5 

 mm lobes. Corolla scarlet, 2 cm long, glabrous, slightly curved, 

 when flattened about 1 cm wide at the throat, somewhat ven- 

 tricose, the mouth somewhat oblique, not contracted, the three
