branchlets ferruginous-villous. Leaves opposite, numerous, 
oblong-lanceolate, those of each pair dissimilar in size, one 
usually about one-half as large as the other, subcoriaceous, 5 to 9 
cm long, 1 to 2.5 cm wide, slenderly subcaudate-acuminate, base 
acute, margins distantly undulate-serrulate, the upper surface 
dark-olivaceous when dry, glabrous, the lower paler, brown, 
ferruginous-villous on the midrib and lateral nerves; lateral 
nerves 7 or 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower 
surface, the reticulations obsolete or nearly so; petioles ferrugi- 
nous-villous, 5 to 8 mm long. Flowers axillary, solitary or in 
pairs, pink to white, about 4.5 cm long, their pedicels 1 to 1.5 
cm long, sparingly villous, each subtended by a pair of leaflike 
bracts 0.7 to 2 cm long. Calyx 2 cm long, ferruginous-villous, 
the tube about 1 cm long, somewhat inflated, the lobes slenderly 
lanceolate, caudate-acuminate, about as long as the tube. Co- 
rolla 4.5 cm long, ferruginous-villous. Disk about 1.8 mm high. 
Ovary densely ferruginous-villous, including the style about 3

The alliance of this species is manifestly with Cyrtandra incisa C. B. 
Clarke, from which it is distinguished by its much smaller, but slightly 
toothed leaves and its larger flowers.
