Bornean species, but in floral characters it looks like Cyrtandra oblongi- 
folia, a Philippine species. 
CYRTANDRA ROSEO-ALBA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Cuneatae). 
Rami quadranguli, setosi, partes novellae apicales dense fulvo- 
villosae. Folia opposita aequalia vel parum diversa, satis longe 
petiolata, oblonga vel lanceolata, acuta vel acuminata, superne 
glaberrima, subtus scaberula, secus nervos fulvo-pilosa, margine 
integra vel brevissime et valde distanter denticulata, maxima 
mihi visa cum petiolo 4 cm longo ad 24 cm longa circ. 5 cm 
lata. Racemi breves, sessiles, pauciflori, fere glomerati dicendi, 
bracteae parvae, ovatae, obtuse acutatae, pedicelli 3 mm longae. 
Calyx fere basin usque fissus, ima basi campanulatus, deinde 
in lobos 5 basi late ovatos, acuminates, 1 cm longos, basi 5 mm 
latos divisus. Corolla paulum curvata, e basi ampla contracta, 
supra dilatata et in lobos 5 vix diversos, parvos, rotundatos di- 
visa, 1.8 cm longa, basi et in orificio 5 mm diam. medio ad 2 
mm contracta; corolla et calyx extus necnon pedicelli longe ful- 
vo-pilosi, corolla alba et rosea verosimiliter versicolor. Stamina 
brevia in dimidio superiore corollae affixa, antherae in ipso ori- 
ficio. Ovarium ovatum glaberrimum sulcatum, discus vel an- 
nulus sat magnus, 5-dentatus. Stylus media longitudine sparsim 
setosus, stigma pro flore maximum, hians, bilabiatum. Baccae 
in specimine meo nondum maturae. FI. Augusto.

The most striking character of this species is its wide calyx, which 
is cup-shaped at the base and incloses the rather small corolla. 
CYRTANDRA NERVOSA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Aureae.) 
Frutex 2 ad 3 m altus. Caules subtetragoni, grisei, plerumque 
minute partibus novellis densius fulvo-pilosi, praesertim in axillis 
foliorum et juxta insertionem petiolorum. Folia opposita vel 
non, dissimilia, petiolata, oblonga, brevi-acutata, coriacea, su- 
perne glabra, subtus valde nervosa, pallide et sparsissime in 
lamina, fulvo- secus nervos pilosa, cum petiolis 1.5 ad 2 cm longis 
15 ad 18 cm longa, medio 5 cm lata, nervi laterales utrinque 7 
vel 8. Inflorescentiae axillares quam folia bene breviores (vix 
i longitudinis aequantes), longe pedunculatae, pedunculi plus 
minus flexi 3 ad 4 cm longi, fulvo-pilosi, bracteae in involucrum 
breve 4- vel 5-lobatum coalitae, lobi trianguli, acuti, (totum 
involucrum circ. 7 mm longum, 1 cm diam. Cyma pauciflora, 
flores (5 vel 6) brevi-pedicellati. Calyx extus fulvo-villosus, 
pilis apices segmentorum bene excedentibus, segmenta fere basin
