BAUHINIA CARDIOPHYLLA sp. nov. § Phanera. 



Frutex scandens, glaber; foliis late ovatis, usque ad 6 cm 

 longis, integris, obtusis vel obtuse acuminatis, basi cordatis, 

 7-nerviis, subtus glaucescentibus ; floribus racemosis, longe 

 tenuiter pedicellatis, petalis oblongo-obovatis, circiter 11 mm 

 longis. Species B. menispermaceae similis et affinis, differt 

 foliis multo minoribus, floribusque minoribus. 



A scandent cirrhiferous glabrous shrub, the branches and 

 branchlets reddish-brown when dry, terete. Leaves subcoria- 

 ceous, broadly ovate, 3.5 to 6 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, base 

 cordate, apex obtuse or obtusely acuminate, entire, the upper 

 surface pale-brownish when dry, the lower glaucous; nerves 7, 

 slender, none of them reaching the apex; petioles slender, 1 to 

 2 cm long. Racemes terminal, glabrous, rather few-flowered, 

 the pedicels slender, elongated, up to 3.5 cm in length. Buds 

 clove-shaped, the tube slender, 4 mm long, narrowed into the 

 pedicel, the limb ovoid, subacute. Sepals reflexed, oblong-ovate, 

 acute or slightly acuminate, about 4.5 mm long. Petals some- 

 what ferruginous-pilose on the back, unequal ; two oblong-obovate, 

 rounded or retuse, about 11 mm long and 5.5 mm wide, base 

 gradually narrowed, acute; three oblong-oblanceolate, as long 

 as the other two but 2.5 to 3.5 mm wide and obtuse to somewhat 

 acuminate. Fertile stamens 3; filaments glabrous, about 5 mm 

 long; anthers short, wider than long. Sterile filaments nearly 

 as long as the fertile ones. Ovary and style glabrous. Disk 

 ferruginous-villous.

Manifestly closely allied to Bauhinia menispermacea Gagnep., which it 

 greatly resembles, differing however in its much smaller size throughout; 

 much smaller, thinner leaves, which are obtuse or blunt acuminate; smaller, 

 few-flowered racemes; and smaller flowers. Bauhinia menispermacea 

 Gagnep. is represented by Native collector 129, 1282, 195U (Bur. Sci.), 

 Matang Road, March, 1912. 



BAUHINIA HAVILANDII sp. nov. § Phanera. 



Frutex ut videtur scandens parce pubescentibus ; foliis oblongo- 

 ovatis, acuminatis, integris, basi late rotundatis subcordatisque, 

 5- vel 7-nerviis, chartaceis, usque ad 10 cm longis ; inflorescentiis 

 terminalibus, racemosis vel depauperato-paniculatis, dense mul- 

 tifloris, bracteis bracteolisque linearibus ; petalis oblongo-obovatis 

 ad oblongo-spatulatis, circiter 7.5 mm longis, crispatis, obtusis, 

 extus pallide pilosis; ovario dense hirsuto.
