probably an imdescribed species in the alliance of P. meJastomoides (Poir ) Wedd 
but the staminate inflorescences are much shorter than the petioles, the petioles' 
are very lon^^ the leaves large and wider proportionately than on any of the 
Philippine plants referred to that species, the leaves are almost o-nerxed, but 
the outermost pair is very mucli more slender than the inner and prolonged less 
than one-third the length of the leaf. The specimen hardly furnishes sufficient 
criteria of the comparative length of the petioles and size of the leaves. 
ELATOSTEMATOIDES 0. B. Rob. 
Elatostematoides sp. 
Xiah, Baviland d Hose 3318. From its habit, this is almost certainly a 
species of this genus, but only staminate flowers are present, and there is no 
proof that it is not a Pellionia. Tlie leaves are almost exactly the same as those 
of _£;. thihaudianum (Wedd.) C. B. Kob. {Elaiostcma rostmtum Hiq. non Hassk.), 
but the inflorescence is very difl'erent, borne on long branching peduncles instead 
of being sessile. 
Elatostematoides sp. 
Kejang, Belaga, '^o. 2187, collector not named on label, staminate. This has 
much resemhlance to E. rohusfum (Hallier f.) C. B. Rob., difl'ering in the larger, 
glabrous leaves, and the shorter stipules. It is probably an undescribcd species, 
but is left with that status for the same reason as the preceding. 
PROCRIS Commers. 
Procris pseudostrigosa Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 1 (1908) 284. 
Kuehing. Very typical, a nearly perfect match for many Philippine collections. 
-The species appears to find its closest alliance in P. frutescens (Bl. ) Wedd. 
Philippines, Celebes. 
Procris (?) gp. 
Mount Kinabalu, at 3,500 feet elevation, HavUand 1773. Onl}' staminate 
flowers are present, but the habit, the flowers and inflore-scence, so far as they 
^an, indicate the specimen to be of this genus, while it seems quite distinct from 
«ny published species. 
ELATOSTEMA Forst. 
Elatostema bulbothrix Stapf 1. c. 230, pi XIX, fig. A, i-J. 
Mount Ivinabalu, at 10,000 feet elevation, HavUand 1392, type collection. In 
discussing the affinities of this species, Stapf suggests that in spite of its well- 
niarked difl'erences from anything previously described it may come nearest to 
^' g^oueescens Wedd. He described the receptacles as sessile, but evidently refers
