ovatis, obtusis, 1 cm longis; antheris leviter exsertis; ovario 

 glabro; folliculis 13 ad 17 cm longis, 4 mm diametro. 



A scandent, apparently fleshy vine, the younger branches, 

 inflorescences, and the Ijeaves very sparingly pubescent or pilose. 

 Branches usually reddish brown, glabrous, about 3 mm in diam- 

 eter. Leaves coriaceous, oblong, 2.5 to 3.5 cm long, 1 to 1.5 

 cm wide, rather pale when dry, somewhat narrowed upward to 

 the obtuse apex, the base usually rounded, the margins cartilag- 

 inous and somewhat recurved when dry, the midrib obscure 

 or sometimes obsolete on the upper surface, rather prominent 

 on the lower surface, the lateral nerves obsolete or nearly so, 

 when young very sparingly pilose, ultimately glabrous ; petioles 

 3 to 4 mm long, at first sparingly pilose, ultimately glabrous. 

 Flowers red, about 4 cm long, somewhat curved, the peduncles 

 about 5 mm long, each 2-flowered and terminal and in the 

 uppermost axils, the pedicels 1 cm in length, somewhat pilose. 

 Calyx 12 mm long, slightly widened upward, the lobes very 

 broadly ovate, obtuse, about 2 mm long. Corolla tube 8 to 10 

 mm wide when flattened, distinctly curved, about 2.5 cm long, 

 sparingly pubescent externally with scattered jointed hairs, 

 the mouth oblique, the lobes ovate, obtuse, up to 1 cm long. 

 Stamens slightly exserted, the anthers 3 mm in length. Ovary 

 and disk glabrous, the style about 3 mm long, villous. Follicles 

 cylindric, glabrous, 13 to 17 cm long, about 4 mm in diameter, 

 slightly curved. Seeds verruculose, 1.5 mm long, apical hair 

 up to 6 mm long. 



Mindanao, Bukidnon Subprovince, Mount Candoon, Bur. Set. 

 38869 (type) 38922 Ramos & Edano, June and July, 1920. In 

 the mossy forest, altitude 1,100 to 1,800 meters. 



A species somewhat intermediate in characters between 

 Trichosporiim malindangense Merr. and T. copelandii Merr.. 

 {Aeschynanthus camiguiyiensis Kranzl., A. serpens Kranzl.), 

 its calyces being twice as long as T. copelandii and T. urdanetense 

 Elm., but much shorter and with much shorter corollas than is 

 the case with T. malindangense. 



CYRTANDRA Forster 

 CYRTANDRA RUFOTRICHA sp. nov. § Decurrentes. 



Suffruticosa, erecta, usque ad 35 cm alta, simplex vel e basi 

 parce ramosa, inflorescentiis subtus foliisque perspicue rufo- 

 ciliatis, ciliae elongatae, articulatae; foliis oppositis parum 

 inaequalibus, oblanceolatis, chartaceis, 6 ad 12 cm longis, acutis.
