escentia in nervis tantum longius pilosa, margine non fimbriata, 
maxima mihi visa cum petiolo 5 ad 8 mm longo ad 11 cm longa, 
2.5 ad 3.5 cm lata, minima ad 6 cm longa, ad 2 cm lata. Flores 
ex axillis rudimentorum orientes (semper ?) singuli, floribus 
lateralibus plerumque omnino obsoletis; pedunculi 1 cm longi, 
dense pilosi, bracteae 2 oppositae, lineares, 1.5 cm longae, 
(addito interdum alabastro 1 in axillis). Calyx brevi-campanu- 
latus, lobis linearibus multo longioribus quam pars basalis, 1.2 cm 
longus (lobi 8 ad 9 mm), longe pilosus. Corolla calycem plus 
duplo superans, ad 2.5 cm longa, extus pilosa, manifesto biloba, 
lobi labii superioris majores, late oblongi, rotundati, illi labii 
inferioris bene minores, Ovati, acutiusculi. Stamina in dimidio 
inferiore tubi, stylus setosus, aequilongus, omnia vix 1 cm longa, 
discus pro ovario altus, margine integer. Flores certe albi. FI.

A rather uninteresting species which at first sight recalls half a dozen 
others. The principal character by which it can be distinguished is its 
strongly bilabiate corolla in contrast to the more or less actinomorphic 
ones of other species of Cyrtandra. The deeply cleft calyx is another good 
character. 
CYRTANDRA CHAVIS-INSECTORUM Kranzl. sp. nov. (§ Dispares). 
Fruticulus squarrosus, ramuli tortuosi, leviter nodosi, inter- 
dum fractiflexi, superne tomentosi, maxima pro parte glabri, 
internodia 1 ad 2.5 cm longa. Folia petiolata, omnia alterna, 
altero omnino obsolete, late obovato-oblonga, brevi-acutata, basi 
mox rotundata, mox brevi-acutata ut in apice, margine excepta 
parte basali remote dentata, superne glabra, subtus minute et 
adpresse in nervis tantum paulum densius fuliginoso-pilosa, 
nervis majoribus utrinque 7 vel 8, maxima cum petiolo 2 cm 
longo 18 cm longa, antice 6 cm lata, minina (?) ab insectis adeo 
injuriata, ut de magnitudine nil certi proferre possim. Inflo- 
rescentiae satis longe pedunculatae, capitatae, pauciflorae, pe- 
dunculi ad 3 cm longi, tenues, bracteae satis magnae, basin usque 
liberae, tamen cyathum ludentes, oblongae, acutae, extus dense 
pilosae, maximae 8 ad 9 mm longae, 3 ad 4 mm latae, calycem 
superantes. Calyx campanulatus, profunde fissus, lobis ovatis, 
longe acuminatis, longe pilosus, ad 7 mm longus, lobi 5 mm. 
Corolla urceolaris vel cylindracea, recta, lobis pro tota corolla 
satis magnis, late oblongis, rotundatis, ad 10 mm longa, lobis 
3.5 longis et latis. Stamina fere medio in tubo vel paulum infra 
affixa, filamentis valde curvatis, ostium tubi non attingentia. 
Stylus dimidium tubi attingens, dense setosus, stigma crassum.
