342 MERRILL. 
A characteristic species not, apparently, very closely allied to the other 
Philippine forms, although manifestly in the same group with Clerodendron 
quadriloculare Merr., C. mindorensis Merr., and C klemmei Elm. It is 
distinguishable by its elliptic, obscurely undulate leaves, and its dense, 
terminal, many-flowered, cymose panicles.

The specimen agrees closely with the description and with Singapore 
specimens in our herbarium.

A new name is necessary for the Philippine plant, as the one previously 
selected by me was preoccupied.

similis et affinis, differt foliis subtus parce pubescentibus, vetus-

A shrub or a small tree, the young branches, petioles, leaves, 
and inflorescence more or less stellate-pubescent with brown 
hairs, the older parts becoming glabrous or nearly so. Branches 
terete, or the younger ones somewhat compressed, ultimately 
glabrous. Leaves opposite and alternate, ovate to oblong-ovate, 
chartaceous, entire, the base abruptly acuminate, the apex long 
and slenderly subcaudate-acuminate, 9 to 17 cm long, 5 to 9 
cm wide, brownish when dry, of about the same color on both 
surfaces, the upper surface shghtly stellate-pubescent, the hairs 
more numerous on the midrib and lateral nerves, ultimately 
nearly glabrous, the lower surface slightly pubescent, and with 
numerous, small, yellow, glands; nerves about 8 on each side 
of the midrib, the reticulations subparallel, distinct; petioles 2 
to 4 cm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, 10 cm long or less, 
rather densely brown-stellate-pubescent, the peduncles about 
as long as the petioles, mostly dichotomously branched, the cymes 
10 cm wide or less. Pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. Calyx cup- 
shaped, 2 mm long, somewhat pubescent externally, with 5, short, 
broad, rather sharp teeth. Corolla 5 mm long, glandular exter-
