Anisotes rogersii S.Moore

Small woody shrublets or medium sized shrubs; 0.5-2.0 m high; young branches subtetragonous; villous to puberulent; older branches terete; glabrate, bark pale grey to grey; with opposite brachyblasts. Leaves subsessile, or with petioles up to 0.2 cm long; lamina narrowly elliptic to elliptic or obovate, (3.0-)3.4-5.7(-8.0) cm long and 1.5-2.7(-3.5) cm broad 1/w-ratio: (1.5-)1.9-2.5; apex acuminate to obtuse base attenuate to cuneate; nervation pinnate-reticulate, lamina light green; scabrate to strigose or puberulent to glabrate; margin entire, scabrate. Inflorescences axillary, subsessile or pedunculate, flowers usually solitary with one abortive flower bud; inflorescences develop mostly on brachyblasts, usually in clusters; flowers enclosed by a pair of bracts and a pair of bracteoles; bracts narrowly oblong to narrowly triangular, (2.5-)3-5(-7) mm long and 1-2 mm broad; 1/w-ratio: (1.7-)1.9-3.5(-3.7); apex acute to obtuse; tomentose to puberulent, hairs upward-pointing; bracteoles narrowly triangular, (1.5-)2.5-4.5(-7) mm long and 1-2 mm broad; 1/w-ratio: (1.5-)1.9-3.1; weakly keeled; otherwise similar to the bracts. Peduncles 1-2 mm long; tetragonous; densely tomentose. Calyx (3.5-)4-5(-6) mm long; tomentose to densely puberulent without, sparsely strigose within; hairs upward-pointing; lobes narrowly triangular, 2-4(-5) mm long and 1-1.5 mm broad. Corolla (3.8-)4.1-4.9(-6.0) cm long; red-orange; glandular pubescent without and densely velutinous at the base; sparsely pilose within. Corolla tube (10-)13-17(-20) mm long; 2-3 mm in diameter at the base, 2.5-3.5 mm in diameter at the apex; lateral invaginations 5-9 mm from the base. Upper lip 28-33(-40) mm long and 9-12(-13) mm broad; apex 2-fid. Lower lip narrowly oblong, 26-32(-35) mm long and (2-)2.5-3.5(-4) cm broad; lobes 1-3 mm long, lateral lobes 0.5-1 mm broad, central lobe 1-1.5 mm broad. Stamens. Filaments 2.6-3.2(-3.5) cm long; glabrate. Anthers 3-4 mm long. Pollen grain prolate, 58-63 x 34-43 µm; pores lalongate, 5 x 3 µm; trema area with two rows of insulae, elongated and finely coalesced towards the poles. Ovary 2 mm long, 1.5 mm broad and 1 mm thick; densely strigose, hairs upwards pointing. Style 3.8-4.8(-5.4) cm long, glabrate. Discus 1 mm high and 1-1.5 mm in diameter. Capsule 25-30 mm long, 8 mm broad and 6 mm thick; sparsely strigose. Seeds 6 mm long, 5 mm broad and 2 mm thick; rugose. Flowering specimens from all months of the year.
