The last paper published under this title appeared in the 
year 1910/ and the present contribution, like the preceding 
numbers of the series, is composed of descriptions of presumably 
new species, records of species previously described which have 
recently been discovered in the Philippines, notes on nomencla- 
ture, synonymy, etc- Two new genera are proposed, Freeria, 
of the Icacinaceae, and Macgregorianthus, of the Tkymelaeaceae. 
Four genera, previously not reported from the Archipelago, are 
included, Parishia, Suriana, Cansjera, and Vallaris. One hun- 
dred presumably new species are described, all dicotyledons, 
while about 10 species, previously described from extra-Phil- 
ippine material, are recorded from the Archipelago for the first 
time. As is the case with the preceding numbers of the series, 
all the material on which the present paper is based is preserved 
in the Herbarium of the Bureau of Science.
