The present species appears to be best referable to Sydow's genus 

 Pcuzschkeella described from Brazilian material in Bull. Herb. Boiss. II 

 1 (1901) 83. The Philippine specimen differs in several respects from 

 the original description and a comparison with Sydow's type might show 

 that our plant should be better described as the type of a new genus.
