Cyrtandra hypogaea can be easily distinguished from other species on Sulawesi with trailing inflorescences by a thicker, and usually more notched, inflorescence axis 2 – 3 mm in diameter, smaller flowers, and a unilateral disc. The fruits also have a distinct, tessellate appearance when they are dried. Koorders did not specify a type when he described this species. Therefore, the most complete of Koorders own collections, Koorders 17190 β in the herbarium in Bogor (BO), annotated by him with the name Cyrtandra hypogaea and with an illustration attached, has been selected as the lectotype. There are three collections from the Lore Lindu area of Central Sulawesi, namely Ardi WI 230, van Balgooy 3434 and de Vogel 5315, which are recorded as having a red corolla, sometimes with yellow markings on the lower lobes. The phenomenon of colour variation, although very rare in Cyrtandra, has been seen in C. splendens C. B. Clarke from Borneo. In that case, the corolla, usually white or cream-coloured with a large crimson patch on each lobe, was found in one or two populations to have a wholly red corolla (Burtt, 1990). These red-flowered specimens fall within the distribution range of Cyrtandra hypogaea. The collections also bear some resemblance, particularly in the striking red corolla colour, to the closely related Cyrtandra rantemarioensis from the Latimojong Range in South Sulawesi but can be separated from that species geographically and also by ovary indumentum, leaf decurrence and fruit shape. Further collections are required to confirm the status of these collections, but for now they are treated as Cyrtandra hypogaea.
Distribusieng
Distribution. North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Central Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi (see Figure 31). Habitat and ecology. Lowland, Hill and Upland Forest at an altitude of 50 – 1290 m. Etymology. The epithet of this species refers to the position of the flowers near the ground (Koorders, 1898). Proposed IUCN conservation category. The EOO of Cyrtandra hypogaea is 173,191 km 2 and the AOO is 112 km 2, based on a 2 × 2 km grid cell size, under the B criteria (Bachman et al., 2011). This is one of the most common and widespread species on the island, collected in all of the six provinces in Sulawesi and over a wide altitudinal range, and for this reason is considered to be of Least Concern (LC).
