I am not satisfied with my diagnosis with regard to the characters 
of the involucre and corolla, as it is difficult to separate the parts in dried 
material, a remark that applies to the entire § Aureae. The species is 
allied to Cyrtandra Antoniana Elm., and turns black in drying as does 
that species. 
CYRTANDRA LACUNAE Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Decurrentes) . 
Fruticosa, 2 m alta. Rami quadranguli, sicci sulcati, omnino 
glabri. Folia valde inaequalia, alterum semper magnum longe 
petiolatum, alterum multo minus nunc rite evolutum, nunc in 
petioli rudimentum reductum. Folia evoluta petiolata, lanceo- 
lata, acuminata, basi paulum asymmetrica, in petiolos angustata, 
a basi medium usque integra, deinde apicem usque remote et 
minute denticulata, superne opaca glaberrima, subtus pallidiora 
grisea, scabriuscula, in venis tantum fulvo-pilosa, maxima cum 
petiolis 5 cm longis ad 30 cm longa, fere 5 cm lata, minora ad 
12 cm longa, ad 3 cm lata, pedicelli illorum saepius fulvo-pilosi. 
Flores in ramulis ultimi ordinis, in dichasia abortu florum late- 
ralium 1-flora dispositi. Calyx in segmenta 5 longe lineari- 
lanceolata, fulvo-pilosa, corollam fere semiaequantia divisus, fere 
2 cm longus. Corolla infundibuliformis vel elongato-obconica, 
obscure labiata, lobis 3 aequalibus minoribus, 2 majoribus, om- 
nibus semiorbicularibus, tota corolla alba, extus dense longeque 
pilosa, ad 3 cm longa, superne 1.8 cm diametro. FI. Februario.

Very closely allied to Cyrtandra gracilenta Kranzl., of northern Borneo, 
but distinguished by its larger leaves and its single-flowered inflorescences, 
while in C. gracilenta the leaves are rather small and the inflorescences are 
always 3-flowered. In the Bornean species the leaves are all of the same 
size or nearly so, while in C. lagunae they are very unequal in size.
