face, dark-brown in contrast with the paler epidermis; petioles 
5 to 8 mm long. Inflorescences axillary, solitary, very slender, 
2 to 4 cm long, umbellately 1- to 3-flowered, the pedicels about 
3 mm long; bracts linear-spatulate, about 6 mm long. Calyx 
glabrous, the tube cup-shaped, about 2 mm long, the lobes 5, 
linear-lanceolate, about 4 mm long. Ovary ovoid, glabrous; style 
6 mm long. Corolla not seen.

The alliance of this species is manifestly with Cyrtandra tenuipes Merr., 
from which it differs especially in its relatively narrower leaves and in 
its calyx-tube being but about one-half as long as the slender calyx-lobes. 
CYRTANDRA LONGIPES sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, plus minusve f errugineo-villosis ; foliis long- 
issime petiolatis, in foliis majoribus petiolis usque ad 14 cm

A scandent shrub, the stems about 1 cm in diameter, usually 
root-bearing on one side, pale-brownish, terete, rather conspi- 
cuously ferruginous-villous, the indumentum more or less deci- 
duous, the internodes about 10 cm long. Younger parts of the 
slender branchlets rather densely ferruginous-villous, the inflo- 
rescences slightly so. Leaves oblong, rather firmly chartaceous, 
10 to 20 cm long, 4 to 9 cm wide, glabrous or nearly so, smooth, 
brittle when dry, the upper surface olivaceous, the lower 
pale, shining, the apex broadly and shortly blunt-acuminate, the 
base slightly inequilateral, subacute, the margins above undulate- 
crenate; petioles of the larger leaves 12 to 14 cm in length, gla- 
brous or nearly so; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the 
midrib, prominent on the lower surface, curved, with very few, 
widely scattered, slender, secondary veins, some of which scarcely 
anastomose. Inflorescences axillary, on the branchlets the flow- 
ers fascicled, on the stems arranged in branched inflorescences up 
to 9 cm in length; bracts narrowly oblong, acuminate, up to 1 
cm in length ; pedicels slender, 2 to 2.5 cm long. Flowers about
