basi acutis, margine irregulariter undulato-serratis, nervis utrin- 
que 6 vel 7, subtus valde perspicuis ; floribus axillaribus, 
solitariis, breviter pedicellatis, circiter 4 cm longis, bracteis 
lineari-lanceolatis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, 6 ad 11 mm longis. 
A shrub about 1 m high, apparently sparingly branched, the 
indumentum of characteristic, castaneous, subappressed, villous 
hairs. Branches terete, glabrous, pale-brownish, the young 
branchlets densely castaneous-villous. Leaves alternate or the 
upper ones opposite and dissimilar, oblong-oblanceolate, subco- 
riaceous, 5 to 15 cm long, 1.8 to 4 cm wide, slenderly and acutely 
acuminate, base acute, margins irregularly sinuate-serrate, the 
upper surface dark-olivaceous, glabrous, the lower brownish- 
olivaceous, paler than the upper, the midrib, lateral nerves, and 
reticulations dark-brown, castaneous-villous, contrasting with 
the paler epidermis ; petioles castaneous-villous, 0.7 to 1 cm long. 
Flowers axillary, solitary, about 4 cm long, their pedicels about 
6 mm long, the subtending bracts linear-lanceolate to oblong- 
lanceolate, castaneous-villous like the calyx, 6 to 11 mm long. 
Calyx 1.5 cm long, the tube 7 mm long, narrow, the lobes usually 
3 or 4, lanceolate, slenderly long-acuminate, as long as the tube, 
externally characteristically castaneous-villous. Corolla white 
when fresh, 4 cm long, densely ferruginous-villous. Disk about 
2 mm long, glabrous, irregularly lobed. Ovary and style about 
2 cm long, ferruginous- or castaneous-villous, the immature fruits 
lanceolate, 2.5 cm long, appressed castaneous-villous.

This species in many characters resembles Cyrtandra incisa C. B. 
Clarke and C. multifolia Merr. and manifestly belongs in the same section 
with both. The upper leaves are opposite and dissimilar, the lower ones 
alternate. It is readily distinguished by its characteristic castaneous 
indumentum. 
CYRTANDRA MULTI FOLIA sp. nov. Dissimiles. 
Frutex ramosus, circiter 1 m altus, partibus junioribus fer- 
rugineo-pilosus ; foliis numerosis, oppositis, dissimilis, oblongo- 
lanceolatis, usque ad 9 cm longis, subcoriaceis, tenuiter acumi- 
natis, basi acutis, margine distanter leviter undulato-serrulatis, 
nervis utrinque 7 vel 8; floribus axillaribus, solitariis vel binis, 
pedicellatis, circiter 4.5 cm longis, calycibus tubo 1 cm longo, 
laciniis 1 cm longis, caudato-acuminatis. 
An erect much-branched shrub about 1 m high, the younger 
parts more or less densely covered with long, soft, weak, ferru- 
ginous hairs. Branches terete, brownish, glabrous, somewhat 
striate when dry, the internodes 1 to 2 cm long, the young
