8 praestant, folia juniora aureo-nitida, petioli omnium densius 
pilosi quam laminae, maxima, quae vidi, cum petiolo 2 cm longo 
22 cm longa, 6 cm lata, minima cum petiolo 1 cm longo 11 cm 
longa 4.5 cm lata. Inflorescentiae brevi-pedunculatae, dicha- 
siales, pauciflorae, pedunculi pedicellique 1 cm longi, ipsi necnon 
calyces dense ferrugineo- vel fere aureo-villosi, nitidi, bracteae 
late lanceolatae pro floribus magnae. Calyx profunde fissus, 
deciduus, segm*enta ovato-oblonga, acuta, 5 ad 6 mm longa, extus 
longe pilosa. Corolla perfecta mihi non visa, ex notulis collec- 
toris alba leviter purpureo-suffusa esse dicitur, leviterque suave- 
olens. Bacca latissime ovata, fere globosa, 7 ad 8 mm longa, 
6 mm diam. FI. Martio, Aprili.

The plant resembles Cyrtandra hypochrysea Kriinzl., but differs in its 
larger leaves, its pubescence not so golden-yellow but more brownish, shorter 
inflorescence, and, so far as I can judge from the calyx, larger flowers. 
I have seen no corolla, but in some of the calyces examined in the hope of 
finding at least young corollas, the four short leaflets so characteristic 
of cleistogamous flowers were observed.

Arbol vel frutex elatus. Rami teretes, inferne glabri, deinde 
fusco-piloso, in apice cum foliis novellis fuliginoso-villosi ; inter- 
nodia 5 ad 6 cm longa. Folia opposita, consimilia, longe petio- 
lata, oblonga, acuta vel acuminata, minute remoteque dentata, 
superne opaca, glabra, subtus pallidiora (sicca pallide ferru- 
ginea), nervis utrinque 8, glabra exceptis venis sparsim ferru- 
gineo-pilosis ; petioli 3.5 ad 5 cm longi, laminae ad 15 cm longae, 
ad 7 cm latae. Inflorescentiae brevissimae in axillis petiolorum 
conglomeratae (unde nomen !) pauciflorae (3 ad 5), pedunculi 
pedicellique brevissimi, densissime fuliginoso-villosi. Calyx 
basin usque divisus, lobi ovato-trianguli acuminati, extus 
sparsim pilosi, 1 cm longi, basi 2 mm lati paulum ringentes. 
Corolla extus densissime pilosi, tubulosa vel urceolaris, non 
curvata, in lobos 5 inter se vix diversos ovato-triangulos, obtusos 
divisa, 1.5 cm longa. Stamina brevissima, in superiore parte 
tubi, antherae magnae, staminodia minuta. Ovarium oblongum, 
discus satis altus, margine minute dentatus; stylus breviusculus 
sparsium pilosus, stigma magnum, bilabiatum. Fructus mihi 
non visi. Flores rosei. FI. Julio.

In general appearance very near to Cyrtandra triflora Gaudich., of 
Hawaii, but at once distinguished by its very short inflorescences. The
