The plant is a true Cyrtandra and cannot be referred to any other genus 
of the family, if we take into consideration all characters. From examina- 
tion of the flowers only one might consider it to be a Chirita, flowers of its 
size being quite extraordinary in Cyrtandra. A Chirita, moreover, so far 
east, would be highly surprising, the genus being confined to India, the 
adjacent parts of China, with a few species in the western Sunda Islands.

pilosus. Corolla e basi perangusta sensim infundibuliformis, 
superne in lobos inter se vix diversos, late triangulos divisa, extus

Of this species I had for examination a single flower, but no fruit; 
portions of the leaves and bracts were desti'oyed by insects. I at first was 
inclined to place it in the genus Didymocarpus, but it seems to be a true 
Cyrtandra. The upper surface of the leaves has the same glaucous hue 
as in Cyrtandra cretacea Kranzl.
