Corollae observantur formae : altera brevi-urceolaris, 4 mm longa, 
quinque loba, lobis rotundatis margine crenatis, altera in floribus 
me judice cleistogamis 1 mm longa, foliolis 4 valvatim sese 
tegentibus, excavatis, orbicularibus composita. Stamina 4, in 
forma corollifera filamentis leviter tortis, in cleistogama, filamen-

A very unattractive species, but at the same time an interesting one. 
There are tvro forms of flowers, one without and one with a showy corolla, 
if a corolla only 4 mm in length can be called showy. In the larger flowers 
the corolla does not exceed the calyx, and is visible only between the 
calyx-teeth, while in the smaller flowers it appears like a small globose 
capsule. The series of dimorphous Cyrtandraceous plants is increasing in 
number, and here we have a form of special interest as two kinds of flowers 
are found in the same inflorescence. It should be noted that the stamens 
in the flowers with the larger corollas are by no means smaller or weaker 
than in the cleistogamous flowers, and that the styles in the former are 
perhaps even longer.
