the upper surface being densely and uniformly covered with ra- 
diate and scattered cystoliths; its very diffuse, repeatedly dichot- 
omous male inflorescences; and the peculiar disposition of the 
flowers, a solitary sessile one at each ultimate fork, the others in 
small few-flowered heads. 
CUDRANIA Trécul 
CUDRANIA GRANDIFOLIA sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, glaber, vel ramulis junioribus leviter adpresse 
pubescens; foliis chartacéis vel subcoriaceis, ellipticis, usque ad 
15 cm longis, breviter acuminatis, basi acutis ad rotundatis, ner- 
vis utrinque 6 ad 8, perspicuis; fructibus globosis, densissime 
puberulis, in siccitate 1 ad 2 cm diametro. 
A scandent glabrous shrub, or the younger branchlets spar- 
ingly appressed-pubescent. Branches terete, in the specimens 
examined unarmed, pale-brownish, shining, minutely lenticellate. 
Leaves chartaceous to subcoriaceous, elliptic, olivaceous, some- 
what shining, the larger ones up to 15 cm long and 8 em wide, 
the lower surface paler than the upper, apex rather prominently 
acuminate, the acumen often short, abrupt, base acute to 
rounded ; lateral nerves 6 to 8 on each side of the midrib, prom- 
inent, curved-ascending, anastomosing, the reticulations dis- 
tinct; petioles 1.5 to 2em long. Fruits globose, axillary, solitary 
or in pairs, when dry 1 to 2 cm in diameter, their peduncles 5 
mm long or less, grayish-brown when dry, densely and uniformly 
puberulent.

A species manifestly allied to Cudrania javanensis Tréc., from 
which it is distinguished by its much larger leaves. ,

GYMNARTOCARPUS WOODII (Merr.) comb. nov. 
Artocarpus woodii Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 3 (1908) Eee 221; 
Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 2 (1909) 623. 
This species is manifestly referable to the genus Gymnartocar- 
pus, in which it is here placed, and is very closely allied to the 
Javan G. venenosa (Zoll.) Boerl., the type of the genus.’ In fact, 
a critical examination of a large series of Javan and Philippine 
specimens may show that the two species are identical. I have
