Sumatra, and Borneo. As that species is described, however, the Phil- 
ippine plant differs in its thinner leaves which apparently have more 
numerous nerves, and its somewhat larger flowers which are often borne 
in pairs. Comparison with authentic material may, however, show them 
to be identical.

ROUREA Aublet 
ROUREA UNIFOLIOLATA sp. nov. 
Species iJ. volubilis (Blanco) Merr. affinis, differt foliis omni- 
bus unifoliolatis, foliolis majoribus, longe subcaudato-acuminatis, 
inflorescentiis laxioribus. 
A woody vine reaching a height of 20 m and a diameter of 4 
cm, quite glabrous. Branches brown, shining, terete, slightly 
wrinkled when dry. Leaves alternate, simple, subcoriaceous, pale 
and strongly shining on both surfaces when dry, oblong-ovate, 
9 to 15 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, the apex long and rather slenderly 
subcaudate-acuminate, the acumen blunt, up to 2 cm long, the 
base somewhat narrowed and acute or somewhat obtuse ; lateral 
nerves 4 or 5 on each side of the midrib, curved-ascending, 
slender, distinct, anastomosing, the reticulations slender, dis- 
tinct, the lower two pairs of nerves leaving the midrib near 
the base, the others distant; petioles 2 to 5 cm long, jointed 
to the 5 mm long petiolule of the solitary leaflet. Panicles axil- 
lary, fascicled, up to 11 cm long, the shorter ones sometimes 
reduced to racemes. Flowers white or pink. Sepals ovate, acute 
or somewhat acuminate, 3,5 to 4 mm long, their margins very 
minutely and shortly ciliate. Petals oblanceolate, 8 mm long, 2 
mm wide, acute or obtuse, narrowed below. Anthers 0.8 mm 
long.

always simple leaves.
