branches in pairs, the smaller one of each pair one-third to one-half 
shorter than the other; nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, 
ascending, rather distinct on the lower surface; petioles 0.5 to 2.5 em 
long. Flowers axillary, solitary, in pairs, or in fascicles of 3 or 4, 
white to pale-purplish, the pedicels 1 to 2.5 cm long, in anthesis 
somewhat thickened upward, spreading or reflexed, rarely erect or 
ascending, glabrous. Calyx glabrous or slightly and obscurely puberulent, 
somewhat funnel-shaped, becoming broadly cup-shaped in anthesis, the 
rim subentire, the 10 ridges extending as narrow, stout, blunt teeth 1 
to 2 mm in length, the calyx in bud prominently ridged, in anthesis the 
ridges becoming more obscure, the calyx splitting down one side, 
Corolla-tube about 4 mm long, the lobes 5, oblong-ovate or ovate, acute, 
7 to 9mm long. Anthers 5, oblong, about 5 mm long. Style about 8 
mm long. Fruit globose, fleshy, 1 cm in diameter (immature). 
In the mossy forest above an altitude of 2,300 m, 0. M. Z. 16201, 16203, Me- 
Gregor 8814, Merrill 6588. From similar habitats, Bur. Sci. 4401, 3418 Mearns, 
Pauai, Benguet, and Merrill 4548 (type), from Mount Data, District of Lepanto, 
Luzon. 
This species is manifestly allied to Solanum biflorum Lour., but is apparently 
sufficiently distinct from that and all hitherto described allied forms. Its distin- 
guishing features are in being nearly glabrous, with comparatively large flowers, 
and its calyx splitting down one side,
