With some hesitation I refer also to this species a specimen collected by 
Maximo Ramos in 1909 on Mount Bagagan, Province of Abra {Bur, Scu 
7207). It differs from the species as described in its larger leaves (up 
to 8 cm long) and denser pubescence. The specimen Vidal 21^1, Province 
of Nueva Ecija, referred previously to S. luzoniensis * may be S. cagayan^ 
ensis, judging from the pilose fruits.

2- vel 3-plo longiores; bracteae lanceolatae, villosae; calycis lobi 
lanceolati; corolla calyce duplo longior; stamina ca. 25 corolla 
sublongiora; stylus glaber; ovarium breviter pilosum. Fructus 
junior ovoideus, calyce coronatus, glaber, rugosus. 
Luzon, Province of Rizal, Angilog, Loher 61H, March, 1906. 
This specimen agrees fully with the original description, the type specimen 
from Mount Banajao, being unknown to me, except that the ovary U called 
glabrous, while in my specimen it is slightly hairy. I think, however, the 
pubescence of the ovary may be easily overlooked, if only superficially 
examined.
