Clarke, but it is quite glabrous, as is also the corolla, except for the lobes 
which are provided with glandular hairs on the margins. 
The leaves are rather small and mostly not longer than the internodes. 
In the present case, as in many others, it is not altogether pleasant to 
propose a species on such slight characters, but with our present knowledge 
of the group we must in such cases admit new species or reduce numerous 
forms to a few very comprehensive or collective species. In the future, 
as soon as we know the limits of variability for each species, the latter 
may be the better plan, but at present it seems best to record the characters 
of the different forms as accurately as we can, and to describe as new 
those forms which have sufficiently valid characters to distinguish them 
from allied species. 
AESCHYNANTHUS POLILLENSIS Kranzl. sp. nov. 
Epiphytica, bene ramosa. Rami cortice luteo, glabro, passim 
fragili tecti, internodia 4.5 ad 8 cm longa. Folia brevi-petiolata 
(5 ad 10 mm), laminae oblongae vel ovato-oblongae, acuminatae, 
apice ipso obtusae, ad 10 cm longae, 3.5 ad 5 cm latae, glaberri- 
mae. Inflorescentiae axillares (semper?), biflorae, pedunculi 
mihi non visi, pedicelli 7 mm longi, brevi- et parcissime pilosi ut 
etiam calyces et corollae extus. Calycis basin usque fissi, seg- 
menta lineari-lanceolata, circ. 7 mm longa. Corolla e basi ampla 
vix dilatata, vix curvula, lobis parum evolutis, superioribus 
parvis subconnatis, lateralibus et intermedia (non deflexo) 
aequalibus, rotundatis, tota corolla 2.5 cm longa, basi 5 mm, in 
oriflcio 7 ad 8 mm diametro. Stamina exserta, paulum longiora 
quam tubus corollae. Stylus bene longior, fere 3 cm longus. 
Flores obscure rubri, basi albi. FI. Augusto.

A plant similar to Aeschynanthus philippinensis C. B. Clarke, but 
stouter, larger in size, and with larger leaves. The flowers are of the 
same size in both species, but the color of the present species, “dark-red, 
base nearly white” is quite different from that of Clarke’s species. 
DICHROTRICHUM Reinwardt 
DICHROTRICHUM MINUS Kranzl. sp. nov. 
Caulis longe repens, tenuis, ubique radicosus, setoso-pilosus, 
pars, quae adest, 30 cm longa; internodia ad 4 cm longa. Folia 
valde inaequalia, majus petiolatum, minus sessile, petioli 1 ad 1.5 
cm longi, setoso-pilosi, laminae ovatae vel oblongae, margine 
remote grosseque dentatae, basi non in petiolum contractae, apice 
obtuse acutatae, supeme sparsissime setosae, subtus densius, 
praesertim in venis, maximae 6.5 ad 7 cm longae, 3.5 cm latae, 
folia minora latissime ovata vel suborbicularia, 1 cm longa 
lataque. Scapi 18 ad 25 cm longi, setosi, flores subumbellati ad 
6 (vel ultra?), bracteae foliis minoribus subaequales, pedicellos 
pilosos vix 1 cm longos aequantes. Calyx campanulatus, ad
