on the midrib and nerves, becoming nearly glabrous, the margins 
rather coarsely and distantly apiculate or glandular-serrate, the 
teeth corresponding to the lateral nerves ; lateral nerves about 12 
on each side of the midrib, curved, anastomosing, very prom- 
inent on the lower surface, the reticulations lax, prominent; 
petioles 2 to 3 cm long, hirsute, becoming nearly glabrous. Ra- 
cemes terminal, solitary, about 15 cm long, densely hirsute, the 
rachis rather stout. Flowers pale-lavender, about 30 in each 
raceme, their densely hirsute pedicels about 4 mm long, the 
bracteoles 3 at the apices of the pedicels, linear, hirsute, the 
two lateral ones 8 to 9 mm long, 0.5 mm wide or less, the middle 
one up to 12 mm long and a little wider than the lateral ones. 
Calyx somewhat hirsute, including the lanceolate, acuminate 
calyx-teeth about 6 mm long. Petals 4, about 2.5 cm long, 
2.2 mm wide, scarcely narrowed upward, with about 4, dark- 
colored nerves, hirsute, the apex thickened. Filaments slender, 
scarcely flattened, 8 to 9 mm long, sparingly pubescent; anthers 
linear, about as wide as the filament, obtuse, 6 to 7 mm long. 
Style about 1.7 cm long, slender.

A most striking species, at once distinguished from all known Philip- 
pine forms by its large flowers and very prominent, linear, elongated 
bracteoles.
