pale-purple, nodding, somewhat campanulate, fascicled, usually 
two or three from the axil of each bract, their pedicels slender, 
10 to 12 mm long, jointed in the middle, the bracts scarious, 
lanceolate, acuminate, the lower ones up to 2 cm in length, the 
upper ones gradually shorter. Perianth-segments lanceolate,

(type), Levine 1613, August 16, 1917, widely scattered in damp shaded 
ravines, altitude 900 to 1,000 meters. 
This species is well characterized by its very numerous and unusually 
narrow leaves, differing from all of the described species in the latter 
character. It is entirely different from the only other species known from 
Kwangtung Province, Peliosanthes macrostegia Hance, the type of which 
was also from Loh Fau Mountain.
