This species is easily distinguished from the former by having many more and much closer nerves to the leaves, and by the dense rusty tomentum. A tree, 3.

This species very closely resembles Antistrophe caudata, but is at once distinguished by the fact of the corolla-lobes overlapping to the right instead of to the left. The flowers somewhat resemble those of Ardisia porosa. 5. ARDISIA FULVA, King & Gamble, n. sp.
