natus statim in segmenta 5 basi lanceolata, deinde linearia 
divisus, segmenta 2.5 cm longa, vix 1 mm lata. Corolla tubulosa, 
lobis 5 vix inter se diversis, rotundatis, margine fimbriatis, 2.5 
cm longa, in orificio 6-7 mm diam. Staminum filamenta 
corollam excedentia, valde torta, compressiuscula, omnino pilosa, 
3 cm longa, adest in media corolla rudimentum minutum staminis 
quinti. Stylus glanduloso-pilosus, corollam aequans vel sub- 
excedens, ovarium lanceolatum compressum, annulus satis 
magnus, leviter 5-partitus. De colore nil constat. Fructus 
mihi non visi. FI. Decembri.

At first glance this species might be taken for Aeschynanthus Fraseriana 
Kranzlin, or a small specimen of Aeschynanthus Motleyi C. B. Clarke, 
although the latter is always a larger species. It differs from the first 
in its longer pedicels but principally by its fiowers not being dimorphous. 
While in A. Fraseriana two kinds of flowers are found, macrostyle and 
brachystyle, we find in this species that all the flowers have the stamens 
and styles of normal length and dimensions, as in the greater number of 
species in the genus. The five characteristic cushions of hairs found in 
A. Fraseriana, always well developed and alternating with the filaments 
and staminode in the interior of the corolla, are wanting in A. stenocalyx 
Kranzl.

Caulis brevissimus, circ. 1 cm longus. Folia congesta ad 6, e 
basi cuneata oblonga obtusa, subfalcata vel subobliqua, margine 
crenato-dentata, superne glauca, glabra, subtus pulchre reti- 
culato-nervosa et secus nervos glanduloso-pilosa, pilis glutinosis 
saepe particulis soli sordidis, magnitudine omnia diversa, 
minimum 2.5 cm longum, 1.5 cm latum, maximum 13.5 cm 
longum, 3.5 cm latum. Flores brevissime pedunculati. Calycis 
in tertia inferiore integri lobi, basi trianguli in apicem longum 
linearem angustati, extus pilis longis articulatis obsiti, totus 
calyx 1.2 cm longus. Corolla (mihi in alabastro tantum nota) 
extus pilis sericeis longissimis obsita, intus glabra. Stamina 
brevia, antherae magnae. Stylus omnino glaber, ovarium fusi- 
forme, annulus brevis, tamen manifestus. FI. Novembri.

Among the species figured, Didymocarpus gracilipes C. B. Clarke gives 
the best idea of D. pallida. The specimen was young, but fortunately 
there were well developed buds, from which my diagnosis was taken. 
Capsules were wanting and so I am unable to determine whether or not 
the flower-stalks increase in length after fertilization as is the case in 
Clarke’s species. The pubescence of the corolla is more copious than in 
any other species of the genus known to me.
