Culion: Dry open soil near Holsey, E. D. Merrill, no. 680, flower- 
ing in February 1903. 
Semerara: E. D. Merrill, flowering in June 1905. 
This species is nearly allied to the Papuan B. papuanum Schltr. and 
the Australian B. microstemma Schltr. especially to the former, from 
which it is distinguished by shorter growth and the quite glabrous corona 
as well at by the form of the pollinarium. In all these three species 
the corolla is dark brownish-purple of colour. 
Clemensiella nom. nov. 
Since the creation of my genus Clemensia | have found out, that 
Dr. Merrill has used the same name before for a genus of the Meliaceae 
in the Philipp. Journ. Sci. III (1908), p. 143. Therefor the name of my. 
genus should be altered into the one given above, Clemensiella, and the 
species should be called Clemensiella Mariae Schltr., not Clemensia Mariae 
Schltr.
