IX, C, 6 Merrill: Dilleniaceae Novae eee 5s | 
15226 Klemme, September 30, 1910, forested slopes, altitude about 40 meters, 
the bark very flaky, covered with large, brittle, membranaceous, dark- 
brown, papery scales. 
The species is manifestly allied to Wormia suffruticosa Griff. (W. sub- 
sessilis Miq.) but with entirely different leaves. 
SAURAUIA Willdenow 
SAURAUIA AMPLA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque plus min- 
usve furfuraceis exceptis glabra, haud setosis ; foliis late oblongis, 
coriaceis, circiter 50 cm longis, margine distanter minute api- 
culato-serrulatis, basi rotundatis, apice breviter acuminatis, ner- 
vis utrinque circiter 18; inflorescentiis caulinis, paniculatis, 
paniculis numerosis, fasciculatis, circiter 12 cm longis; floribus 
circiter 2.5 cm diametro, sepalis glabris; ovario 5-loculare, stylis 
5, liberis. 
A tree about 12 m high, glabrous except the somewhat fur- 
furaceous younger parts and the inflorescence, not at all setose. 
Branches stout, much wrinkled when dry, brownish, about 1 cm 
in diameter, the growing tips and very young leaves more or 
less furfuraceous. Leaves ample, broadly oblong or elliptic- 
oblong, about 50 cm long, 22 cm wide, subcoriaceous, shining, 
quite glabrous, base rounded, apex very shortly acuminate, mar- 
gins distantly and minutely apiculate-serrulate. Inflorescence 
from the trunk, of many flowered, numerous, rather densely 
fascicled panicles about 12 cm in length, the younger parts more 
or less furfuraceous, branched above the middle, the bracts 
oblong-ovate, about 3 mm long. Flowers white, about 2.5 cm in 
diameter when spread. Sepals elliptic-ovate, glabrous, rounded, 
about 7 mm long and 3 mm wide. Corolla-lobes about 9 mm long 
and 7 mm wide, somewhat obovate, inequilaterally retuse. An- 
thers about 2.5 mm long. Ovary glabrous, 5-celled; styles 5, 
free, about 6 mm long. 
SAMAR, Cauayan Valley, Phil. Pl. 1694 Ramos, April, 1914, along small 
streams in forests, altitude about 100 meters. 
A very characteristic species easily recognized by its very large glabrous 
leaves and densely fascicled, cauline panicles. 
SAURAUIA BAKERL sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor parva, foliis inflorescentiis ramulisque pro- 
minente setosis; foliis chartaceis, oblongo-obovatis, usque ad 12 
em longis, utrinque setosis, acuminatis, basi angustatis, obtusis, 
margine prominente setoso-ciliatis, nervis utrinque circiter 10; 
inflorescentiis cymosis, paucifloris, axillaribus, solitariis, 2 ad 4 
cm longis, sepalis exterioribus dense setosis, setis patulis; floribus 
1.3 cm diametro, stylis 3, basi breviter unitis. ¥
