vix 3 mm diam., pone orificium circ. 7 ad 8 mm lata, alba. De 
magnitudine et indole loborum in specimine unico destructorum 
nil pro certo dicere audeo. 
Borneo, Sarawak, without exact locality, native collector 887. Col- 
lected for the Bureau of Science through the Sarawak Museum. 
Very near Cyrtandra fenestrata C. B. Clarke but readily distinguish- 
able by its narrower and longer leaves; the pedicels are also longer than 
in Clarke’s remarkable species. Mr. Clarke has taken his specific name 
from characters of the lower surface of the leaves, while I have taken 
mine from characters of the upper surface. Clarke’s “fenestrae” cor- 
respond exactly to my “verrucae.” 
CYRTANDRA VANOVERBERGH 1 1 Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Aureae) . 
Caulis 2 ad 4 m altus, glaber, apice tantum foliatus. Folia 
in petiolum brevem crassum angustata, oblonga, acuta, toto 
margine distanter dentata, dentibus cartilagineo-incrassatis, su- 
perne omnino glabra, subtus solummodo secus nervos pilosa, 
maxima ad 40 cm longa, 14 cm lata, nervi principals utrinque 
10 ad 13; folium oppositum multo minus, tamen non in petioli 
rudimentum reductum. Prophylla racemorum latiora quam 
longa, margine lobata, brunnea, satis tenera, pedicelli 5 mm longi, 
bracteae florales non visae. Calycis 8 ad 9 mm longi lobi breves 
trianguli, subulati, glabriusculi, in apicibus tantum fimbriati. 
Corolla tubulosa, recta, supra brevi-lobulata, lobis vix inter se 
diversis rotundatis, extus et excepto orificio intus setoso-pilosa, 
1.5 cm longa. Stamina 2 filamentis crassiusculis, glabris, ori- 
ficium corollae attingentibus, antherae magnae arete cohaerentes. 
Stylus bene brevior quam stamina, pilosus, stigma crassum, 
ovarium elongatum pilosum, annulus pro flore parvo satis 
evolutus. Flores albi. FI. Augusto, Septembri. 
Luzon, Subprovince of Bontoc, Vanoverbergh 512. 
A coarse plant, difficult to dry properly. I have made the best descrip- 
tion possible from the dried material, and examination of fresh specimens 
would doubtless indicate additional characteristic features. It shows a 
close affinity to Cyrtandra arborescens Blume and C. populifolia Miq. 
(the latter a very inappropriate specific name). 
CYRTANDRA PACHYNEURA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Aureae). 
Frutex 2 ad 3 m altus. Caulis ubi mihi visus, glaber, reticu- 
lato-rugosus. Folia singula, nempe altero ad rudimentum minu- 
tum reducto, petiolata, late oblonga, acuta basi paulum asymme- 
trica, margine integra, superne glabra, subtus solummodo secus 
nervos brunneo-pilosa, maximi mihi visi petiolus 4 cm longus, 
lamina 22 ad 23 cm longa, 11 cm lata, nervi 10 utrinque, ipsi 
et nervus medius subtus valde incrassati et prosilientes. Racemi 
brevi-pedunculati, foliis involucralibus magnis, latissime ovatis.
