tibus; antheris trapezoideis, appendice hyalina ovata, acuminata stigmatis 
caput paulo superante. 
Mindanao: Near Suringas, c. 20 ped. alt. F. H. Bolster, no. 227, 
flowering in January 1906. 
The species somewhat resembles D. Copelandii Schltr. (Conchophyllum 
Copelandii Schltr. but has shorter leaves and a different corolla. 
The species of the genus are in fact mostly rather similar to each- 
other and for determination require careful examination of their flowers.

folis interdum alternantibus vulgo oppositis, ellipticis, obtusis vel apicu- 
latis, basi cuneatis, glabris, carnosis, 3,5—4,5 cm longis, medio fere 
1,4—2,2 em latis, petiolo 8—12 mm longo; inflorescentiis subsessilibus, 
rhachi 2—3-brachiata, sensim evoluta, densiflora; floribus perbreviter

glaberrima, ‘3,5 mm longa, tertia parte apicali 5-fida, intus tubo medio 
lamella horizontali distincte 10-lobata circumdata, lobis ovalibus acutis, 
sinubus intus toriformi-incrassatis; gynostegio sessili conico; coronae 
foliolis gibbiformibus triangulis acutis, basi excisis; antheris trapezoideis

translatoribus brevibus oblanceolatis, retinaculo polliniis dimidio minori 
juxta basin affixis; stigmatis capite antheras haud excedente. 
Luzon: Claveria, Province Cagayan, R. C. Mae Gregor, flowering 
in Aug. 1909. 
A very distinct species, which is easily recognized from all the 
others by the want of a beard on the corolla lobes. 
With D. luzonica Schltr. it has the 10-lobed thin ring in the corolla 
tube in common; these lobes however are much more visible here than 
in that species. 
23. Dischidiopsis incrassata Schitr., spec. nov.

laxe foliatis; foliis ut videtur vulgo oppositis, oblongis, apiculatis, basi sub- 
rotundatis, glabris, carnosis, 5—6 cm longis, medio fere 2—2,5 cm latis, 
petiolo carnoso, 7—10 mm longo; inflorescentiis pedunculatis, rhachi vulgo 
3—4 cruri valde incrassata sensim evoluta densiflora, pedunculo c. 2 em 
longo; floribus breviter pedicellatis, in genere mediocribus; calycis foliolis 
suborbicularibus, obtusis, glabris, corolla fere 5—6-plo brevioribus; corolla 
urceolari e. 4 mm longa, 5-ta parte apicali 5-fida, extus glabra intus 
medio anulo horizontali alte 5-lobato ornata, lobis ovatis obtusiusculis, 
intus carnoso-carinatis basi linea pilorum erectorum ornatis; gynostegio 
subsessili late conico, e. 1,5 mm alto; coronae roliolis gibbiformibus late 
triangulis, obtusis, basi altius excisis; polliniis oblique oblongoideis, trans- 
latoribus erectis triangulis, retinaculo oblongoideo polliniis paulo minori 
juxta basin affixis; stigmatis capite conico, antheras haud excedente.
