There are two specimens, one with flowers, one with fruits, the latter 
differing from the former only in its larger leaves. The specific name has 
been selected with regard to the unusual strength of the stem and leaves. 
The flowers are the characteristic ones of the § Haplotrichium. It is im- 
possible to determine from the material available whether the stems are 
pendulous, or whether they climb along the trunks and branches of trees. 
AESCHYNANTHUS GLOM ERI FLORA Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Haplotrichium). 
Caulis elongatus, tenuis, e nodis radices longas tenues emit- 
tans, internodia 8 cm longa, interdum subbreviora aut longiora. 
Folia brevi-petiolata, late ovata, acuta, 8 ad 12 cm longa, 4 ad 6 
cm lata, petiolus 5 ad 10 mm longus, nervus medianus in dorso 
crassissimus. Flores in glomerulos dispositi, pedunculo subnullo, 
crasso, floribus delapsis quasi foveato. Pedicelli vix 1 cm longi, 
minute pilosi. Calyx fere basin usque in lobos 5 anguste trian- 
gulos fere lineares, acuminatos divisus, extus minute pilosus. 
Corolla recta, extus minute pilosa, labii superioris lobi valde 
approminati breves in unum fere uniti, sinu parvo sejuncti, re- 
tusi, labii inferioris lobi laterales semicirculares, lobus interme- 
dins late triangulus, acutus, deflexus, intus pilosus. Stamina 
tubum paulum excedentia, filamentis superne valde tortis, infra 
antheras dilatatis. Stylus brevissimus, ovarium breve, discus 
globosus, totum gynaeceum vix tertiam partem totius corollae 
aequans. Tota corolla 2.5 cm longa, stamina 2.8 cm, stylus cum 
disco 8-9 mm, corolla alba et rubra esse dicitur; capsulae 15 ad 
18 cm longae. FI, Augusto, Septembri.

A plant somewhat resembling Aeschynanthus philippinensis C. B. Clarke, 
but with larger leaves. The flowers are rather insignificant, glomerate or 
fascicled, probably appearing serially. The plant creeps or climbs along 
the trunks of trees, the roots arising from the fascicles below the flowers. 
The plant is presumably dimorphous. The ovary in the flower examined 
was so reduced in size in comparison to the well developed stamens that 
the supposition that the flower was a staminate one is probably correct.
