terminal; pistillate spadices 5 or 6, oblong-cylindrical, 8 to 10 cm. long, 
about 1.5 cm. tbick, tbe peduncles 3 cm. long, ferruginous, strongly sca- 
brous. Fruits very numerous, tbe free portions subpyramidal, strongly 
ridged. Stigmas 2, rarely 3. 
ScantU'iit in fort-sts at 900 in. alt. (No. 5047 ). 
A species possibly as closely related to Frcycinetia hizoncnsis Presl, as to any ' 
other, differing from that speeies in its longer leaves and more numerous and 
much larger spadiees. No. 2994 Aher}}'fi collector from the Province of Kizal. 
Luzon, is apparently tlie same. 
Freycinetia globosa Merrill, n. sp. % Pleiostigma. 
Gracilis, scandens, ramulis 2 ad 3 mm. latis, foliis late lanceolatis vel 
oblongo-lanceolatis, 2.5 ad 7 cm. longis, 5 ad 15 mm. erassis, apice brevi- 
ter acuminatis, basi abrupte angustatis, denticulatis; infloresceritiae 
terminales, spadiees 2 terni, fructiferi globosi, ca. 2 cm. diametro, pe- 
dunculis glabris, 1 cm. longis; fruetus ea. 1 cm. longus; semina 2.5 mm. 
longa> anguste linearia; stigmata 4, 
Slender, scandent, tbe brandies reddish-brown, glabrous, 2 to 3 mm. 
thick. Leaves broadly lanceolate or oblong lanceolate, 2.5 to 7 cm. long, 
5 to 15 mm. wide, shortly acuminate, the base rather abruptly, narroAved 
into a 5 mm. long clasping petiole, not anricled, the margins slightly 
denticulate throughout, the teeth small, often obscure; nerves about 15, 
parallel, nearly as prounnent as the midrib. Inflorescence terminal, 
pistillate spadices globose, red, fleshy, about 2 cm. in diameter, the 
peduncles glabrous, about 1 cm. long; fruits nearly 1 cm. long, fleshy, 
ovoid ; seeds numerous, white, narrowly linear, 2.5 mm. long. 
Scandent in forests at 1,150 m. alt. (No. 5791). 
A speeies apparently related to Freycinetia ensifolia Merr., from Mount Mari- 
veles and to F. aphneroccphala Gaudioli., differing from the former in its relatively 
broader, shorter leaves and from the latter in its longer, (^uite differently shaped 
'and less strongly denticulate leaves which are not auriculate at the base.
