 Altitude al><mt son m. A species probably of the section Uolocalyx. 



Trichosporum copelandi Merrill sp. nov. 



A scandent epiphyte, glabrous except the inflorescence, with opposite. 

 oblong leaves 5 to 7 cm. in length, and axillary and terminal inflorescence, 

 the flowers quite the same as in Trichosporum ovatum. Branches 



slender, gray, glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long, the base 

 rounded or obtuse, the apex acute, pale, somewhat shining, the nerves 

 obsolete; petioles rugose. 4 to 5 mm. long. Peduncles axillary and- ter- 

 minal, solitary or fascicled, somewhat pilose, two or more 1 flowered. 

 Flowers purple, in size, shape, and pubescence quite the same as in 

 Trichosporum ovatum. Capsules linear, 10 cm. long. Seeds wanting. 



Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, San Ramon (1G19 Copeland) February r>. 

 1905. An epiphytic vine in forests along the river at about 200 m. A species 

 apparently closely related to the preceding, similar in floral characters, but 



differing in its much larger, very differently shaped leaves, longer petioles, and 

 glabrous brandies, the inflorescence being also lateral as well as terminal. 



Trichosporum rubrum Merrill sp. nov. 



A scandent epiphyte reaching a length of from 1 to (i m., rather 

 strongly hirsute pilose with pale often appressed hairs, the leaves lan- 

 ceolate to oblanceolate, the flowers red. Branches gray, the older ones 

 glabrous, the younger branchlets densely appressed hirsute-pilose. Leaves 

 subcoriaceous, I to 8 cm. long, 1.5 to 2 cm. wide, pale beneath, the upper 

 surface rather densely appressed hirsute-pilose, the lower surface densely 

 so on the midrib and nerves, gradually narrowed below to the slender 

 acute base, more abruptly narrowed above to the acute apex, the margins 

 entire, hirsute; nerves about 4 on each side of the midrib, ascending; 

 petioles 1 to -1 cm. long, densely appressed hirsute. Flowers fascicled in 

 the upper axils, the pedicels hirsute, 2 cm. long or less. Calyx hirsute, 

 deeply 5-clefi nearly to the base, the lobes linear, about (> mm. long, 

 1..") mm. wide, blunt. Corolla nearly :> cm. long, bright red, tubular, 

 slightly curved, densely uniformly hirsute pilose with pale 2 mm. long 

 hairs, the lobes elliptical-ovate, rounded, 4 to 5 mm. long. Filaments 

 glabrous; anthers broad, 2 mm. long. Disk truncate or obscurely toothed, 

 glabrous, cup-shaped, 2 mm. long. Ovary glabrous. Old capsules pale, 

 glabrous, linear. 8 cm. long, the ^va\^ not seen.
