perspicuis, margine distanter serratis; floribus axillaribus, fas- 
ciculatis, 2 cm longis, corollae tubo infra angustato, aequaliter 
5-lobato, lobis circiter 2 mm longis; ovario glabro. 
A shrub, apparently scandent, the young branchlets usually 
densely villous with brown or ferruginous hairs, the older parts 
entirely glabrous. Leaves opposite, equal, coriaceous or subco- 
riaceous, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 7 to 10 cm long, 3.5 to 5 cm 
wide, dark-olivaceous and smooth above when dry, the lower 
surface paler, glabrous, apex shortly acuminate, base acute to 
decurrent-acuminate, the margins distantly serrate ; lateral 
nerves 7 or 8 on each side of the midrib, very prominent on the 
lower surface, the reticulations lax, distinct; petioles at first 
ferruginous-villous, soon becoming entirely glabrous, 3 to 4 cm 
long. Flowers axillary, pink, about 2 cm long, fascicled, their 
ferruginous-villous pedicels about 1 cm long or less, subtended 
by a whorl of small, lanceolate bracts. Calyx about 10 mm long, 
7 mm in diameter, ovoid or ellipsoid, black when dry, subcoria- 
ceous, glabrous, the lobes 5, oblong-ovate, acute or slightly acu- 
minate, 3 to 3.5 mm long. Corolla 2 cm long, the lower 12 mm 
slender, about 2 mm in diameter, then somewhat enlarged and 
6 to 7 mm wide when flattened out, slightly pubescent externally 
or glabrous, the lobes 5, equal, broadly ovate, obtuse, about 2 
mm long. Disk glabrous, truncate, about 1.5 mm high. Ovary 
and style glabrous. Fruit soft, fleshy, ellipsoid, about 12 mm 
long. 
Panay, Antique Province, Culasi, Bur. Sci. 3224^1 (type),

altitude about 1,000 meters. 
This species is closely allied to Cyrtandra tayabensis Elm., 
from which it is distinguished by its smaller, fewer-nerved 
leaves and its entirely glabrous ovaries.
