LUZON, Camarines Province, Paracale, Bur. Sci. 33691 Ramos 
& Edano, November, 1918. In damp forests along small streams 
at low altitudes. 
A species manifestly belonging in the group with Kopsia 
fruticosa DC. and K. albiflora Boerl., differing essentially from 
both of these in its larger flowers.

CLERODENDRON LUZONIENSE sp. nov. * 
Frutex erectus, glaber, ramis tenuibus; foliis membranaceis, 
integris, ellipticis ad oblongo-ellipticis, 13 ad 18 cm longis, oliva- 
ceis, nitidis, tenuiter acuminatis, basi cuneatis, nervis utrinque 
6 vel 7, subtus perspicuis; paniculis terminalibus, glabris vel 
puberulis, laxis, paucifloris, ramis patulis, paucis, plerumque 
3-floris, bracteis bracteolisque linearis, 4 ad 6 mm longis. 
Calycis 5-lobatis, lobis lanceolatis, acuminatis, 3 mm _ longis. 
Corollae tubo 5 ad 6 em longo, lobis oblongo-ellipticis, obtusis, 
circiter 1 cm longis. 
A glabrous, erect shrub, the branches slender, pale. Leaves 
membranaceous, entire, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 138 to 18 cm 
long, 6 to 7 cm wide, somewhat olivaceous and shining on both 
surfaces when dry or the lower surface somewhat paler than 
the upper, not at all glandular, the apex rather slenderly acu- 
minate, base cuneate; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the 
midrib, slender, rather prominent on the lower surface, the re- 
ticulations very lax; petioles 2 to 5 em long. Panicles terminal, 
- peduncled, glabrous or very slightly puberulent, lax, few-flow- 
ered, the peduncle and rachis up to 12 cm long, the branches 
few, spreading, each usually 3-flowered; bracts linear, acuminate, 
4 to 6 mm long, the bracteoles similar, smaller, the pedicels 
1to1.6cm long. Calyx green, 5 to 7 mm long, the base cuneate, 
the lobes 5, lanceolate, acuminate, about 3 mm long. Corolla 
white, the tube slender, 5 to 6 cm long, straight, the lobes spread- 
ing, oblong-elliptic, obtuse, about 1 cm long. 
Luzon, Camarines Province, Paracale, Bur. Sci. 33784 (type), 
33779 Ramos & Edafio, December 22, 1918. In damp forests 
along small streams at low altitudes. 
The alliance of this species is manifestly with C. klemmet Elm., 
from which it is distinguished by its differently shaped, rel- 
atively much broader leaves, longer flowers, lax, few-flowered 
inflorescences, and narrower calyx teeth.
