three in each axil, appressed-hirsute, 2 to 3 cm long, few-flowered, 
usually with but three flowers which are umbellately arranged, 
the. peduncle 1.5 cm long or less, the pedicels about one-half 
as long; bracteoles lanceolate, acuminate, appressed-hirsute, 
about 7 mm long, deciduous. Sepals 5, elliptic-oblong to oblong- 
lanceolate, 11 to 12 mm long, 4 to 4.5 mm wide, acute, appressed- 
hirsute. Petals narrowly ovate, about 8 mm long, 2 mm wide, 
acute, the scale suborbicular, ciliate, prominent. Stamens indef- 
inite; anthers about 0.5 mm long; filaments 4 to 5 mm long. 
Ovary densely hirsute. 
Guam Experiment Station 188, November, 1911, at Tumon. 
A species manifestly closely allied to the Polynesian Grewia malococca 
Linn. f., and perhaps not specifically distinct. I have seen no complete 
description of this species, and my conception of it is based largely on a 
Samoan specimen so named, Vaupel 247. 
GREWIA MULTIFLORA Juss. in Ann. Mus. Paris 4 (1804) 89, t. 47, 
f. 1; Safford 287. 
Admitted on the authority of Safford, but his specimens should be com- 
pared with the preceding species. 
Widely distributed in the Indo-Malayan region. 
TRIUMFETTA Linnaeus 
TRIUMFETTA SEMITRILOBA Jacq. Enum. Pl. Carib. (1760) 22. 
Mrs. Clemens s. n., G. E. S. 109, locally known as dadangsi. 
Widely distributed in the tropics of both hemispheres, a native of tropical 
America. 
It is strongly suspected that the species recorded by Safford (p. 398) 
as Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq., based on the reference of Triumfetta 
lappula to Guam, by Gaudichaud, is Triumfetta semitriloba Jacq., and not 
T. rhomboidea Jacq.

Islands of the Sulu Sea to Australia and Polynesia. 
TRIUMFETTA TOMENTOSA Boj. Hort. Maurit. (1837) 48; Safford 393. 
Credited to Guam by Safford, but the record must be considered a very 
doubtful one. ;

In all tropical countries, where native uncertain, but probably originating 
in tropical America.
