oblanceolate or the lower ones sometimes lanceolate, 10 to 20 cm 

 long, 2 to 6 cm wide, the apex rather slenderly acuminate, nar- 

 rowed below to the cuneate base, the margins conspicuously- 

 toothed, especially toward the apex where the teeth are large 

 and irregular, the upper surface dark-olivaceous with very few 

 widely scattered, weak hairs, ultimately glabrous or nearly so, the 

 lower surface conspicuously and softly villous; lateral nerves 

 about 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations 

 very lax ; petioles 2 to 3 cm long. Inflorescences from the trunk 

 or larger branches below the leaves, peduncled, cymose, all parts 

 densely villous with weak spreading hairs, the peduncles 1 to 2 cm 

 long, the pedicels 5 to 8 mm long, the subtending bracts lanceo- 

 late or linear-lanceolate, 1 cm long or less. Calyx including the 

 very slender lobes about 1.5 cm long, the lobes linear, about 1 cm 

 in length. Corolla slender, about 2 cm long, externally prom- 

 inently villous. Style somewhat pubescent.

This species apparently belongs in the group with Cyrtandra 

 ramiflora Elm., from which C. laxa Elm. is scarcely distinguish- 

 able. It differs radically from the above species in its totally 

 different leaves, flowers, and inflorescences.

Planta scandens, partibus junioribus parce pilosis vel glabrls; 

 foliis coriaceis, oblongo-ovatis ad oblongis, usque ad 6 cm longis, 

 basi rotundatis, apice acutis vel obtusis; floribus axillaribus, 

 solitariis vel binis, glabris vel subglabris, calycis subtruncatis, 

 cylindraceis, 1.2 ad 1.5 cm longis, corolla leviter curvata, 4 ad 4.5 

 cm longa. 



A scan dent vine, the stems up to 3 mm in diameter, the 

 younger parts sparingly pilose with weak, widely scattered hairs, 

 soon becoming glabrous or nearly so. Leaves fleshy when fresh, 

 coriaceous when dry, oblong-ovate to oblong, 2.5 to 6 cm long, 

 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, the base rounded, the apex acute or obtuse; 

 lateral nerves usually 4 on each side of the midrib, often obsolete, 

 never prominent; petioles about 5 mm long. Flowers axillary, 

 usually 2 on each peduncle, the peduncle less than 5 mm long. 

 Calyx cylindric, truncate or somewhat angulate, 1.2 to 1.5 cm 

 long, usually glabrous. Corolla apparently reddish, somewhat 

 curved, 4 to 4.5 cm long, glabrous or nearly so, the lobes ovate
