COMBRETACEJE. 



Terminalia Calamansanat, Bolfe. — Gimbernatia Calaman- 

 sanay, Blanco, I. c. ed. 2, p. 266 ; ed. 3, vol. ii. p. 129.— T. bialata, 

 F. Villar, I. c. p. 80, excl. syn. plur., non Kurz. This species is 

 distinct from T. bialata, Kurz, which must be excluded. 



MELASTOMACE^. 



Carionia triplinervia, sp. nov. — Rami teretes glabri, foliis 

 lanceolato-ellipticis breviter acuminatis triplinerviis coriaceis 

 glabris, cymis terminalibus 5-floris, floribus bracteolatis, calyce 

 eampanulato, lobis 6 minutissimis acutis, petalis 6 contortis 

 obovatis, staminibus ovarioque ut in generibus ; fructu ignoto. 



Luzon, Volcano Mayon, Prov. Albay, 5100 ft. alt. ; S. Tidal, 

 n. 779 ! 



Leaves 1|-2| by f-1 in., petiole | in. Peduncles 1| in., pedi- 

 cels 5 in., with 4-6 peculiar and extremely narrow linear brac- 

 teoles, 2 in. long, at their bases. Calyx 4 lin. long. Petals 8 lin. 

 long. 



I have not seen a specimen of C. elegans, Naud., the type of 

 the genus, but the floral structure agrees with Naudin's descrip- 

 tion and figure. It is, however, evident that this is a second 

 species, for Naudin describes the leaves of his plant as " quintu- 

 plinerviis," and the cymes as " 3-floris aut paucifloris." Naudin 

 does not mention anything about bracteoles in his plant, and the 

 figure represents the calyx-lobes as over a line long, while in 

 the present species they are excessively minute.

 Epim. Bot. p. 250. — Polyscias Cumingiana, F. Villar, I. c. p. 102, 

 excl. syn. P. Villar refers this plant to Polyscias, but it must go 

 to Panax.
