fresh, brownish when dry, about 7 cm long, 4.5 cm in diameter, 
longitudinally 5-ridged, the ridges conspicuous near the apex of 
the fruit, obscure or nearly obsolete in the lower part of the 
fruit, the persistent calyx lobes pubescent, deeply carinate, the 
keels produced, narrowly oblong, falcate, 1.5 cm long, 4 mm 
wide, obtuse. 
MINDORO, Paluan, Bur. Sci. 38919 Ramos, April 22, 1921. 
In forests at low altitudes. 
A species manifestly allied to Gardenia carinata Wall., but 
readily distinguished by its much larger fruits.

UROPHYLLUM MINDORENSE sp. nov. 
Frutex subglaber, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque par- 
cissime pubescentibus; foliis oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, 7 
ad 11 cm longis, membranaceis, olivaceis, utrinque glabris, 
acuminatis, basi late acutis, nervis utrinque 8 ad 10, perspicuis, 
stipulis anguste lanceolatis, deciduis, 8 mm longis; floribus 
fasciculatis, pedicellatis, bracteis lineari-lanceolatis, 2 ad 3 mm 
longis; calycis cupulatis, 4 mm longis, 4-lobatis; corolla 8 mm 
longa, 5-lobata, extus glabra, intus barbata, lobis oblongo-ovatis, 
acutis, 3.5 ad 4 mm longis. 
A nearly glabrous shrub, the very young parts and the in- 
florescences obscurely pubescent, the branches slender, pale or 
greenish, glabrous. Leaves oblong to oblong-elliptic, membrana- 
ceous, 7 to 11 cm long, 8 to 5 cm wide, olivaceous, shining, 
entirely glabrous on both surfaces, the very young ones slightly 
pubescent, apex rather slenderly acuminate, the base broadly 
acute ; lateral nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, spreading, 
rather prominent on the lower surface, anastomosing, the pri- 
mary reticulations rather lax, distinct; petioles glabrous, 1 to 
1.8 cm long; stipules narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, about 3 
mm long. Flowers white, in axillary fascicles, pediceled, the 
pedicels very slightly pubescent, 2 to 5 mm long, the subtending 
bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 to 3 mm long. Calyx 
cup-shaped, about 4 mm long, 4-lobed, the lobes about 2 mm 
Wide, 1 mm long, shortly acuminate. Corolla 8 mm long, gla- 
brous outside, the tube 4 to 4.5 mm long, somewhat expanded 
above the calyx rim, the throat densely villous inside, the lobes 
5, oblong-ovate, acute, 3.5 to 4 mm long, bearded at the base 
inside. Anthers 1.5 mm long including. the rather conspicuous
