MINDANAO, Surigao Province, Bur. Sci. 34744 (type), 34773 
Ramos & Pascasio, June 20, 1919, along streams in forests at 
low altitudes. 
This characteristic species is as closely allied to Medinilla fur- 
furacea Merr. as to any other described form, but differs radically 
in its sessile, entirely differently shaped leaves, and different 
inflorescences. 
ARALIACEAE 
ANOMPANAX Harms 
ANOMPANAX PHILIPPINENSIS Harms in Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenz. 19 
(1904) 15. 
Pentapanax sp. Ceron Cat. Pl. Herb. Manila (1892) 89. 
The type of this species is Warburg 14470, from Davao, Min- 
danao, and it is by no means certain that the species is really 
different from the type of the genus, Anompanaxz celebicus Harms. 
Regarding the latter, I examined Koorders’s Celebes material in 
the Buitenzorg herbarium in January, 1914, noting that the Cel- 
ebes material looks exactly like the Philippine specimens and 
that the two species were either identical or very closely allied. 
Anompanazx philippinensis is now known from a number of local- 
ities in the central and southern Philippines, as follows: SAMAR, 
Bur. Sci. 17454 Ramos. NEGROS, For. Bur. 17355 Curran, 7269, 
12329 Everett, Merrill 7034. PANAy, Vidal 2930 in Herb. Kew., 
Yoder, Bur. Sci. 30798 Ramos & Edaio, 32354 McGregor. MIN- 
DANAO, Merrill 8293, Clemens 1058, For. Bur. 4686 Mearns & 
Hutchinson. BASILAN, For. Bur. 18936 Miranda. A species 
widely scattered on damp forested slopes at medium altitudes. 
ANOMPANAX CUMINGIANUS (Presl) comb. nov. 
nee ge cumingiana Pres] Epim. (1851) 250; Walp. Ann. 2 (1852) 
Panax cumingiana Rolfe in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 21 (1884) 310. 
Polyscias cumingiana F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 102. 
Nothopanax cumingii Seem. in Journ. Bot. 4 (1866) 295. 
MINDORO, Cuming 1558. 
Seemann, l. c., records this species also from Borneo, but I 
have seen no material representing it other than Cuming’s col- 
lection, the type of the species. My specimen is incomplete, but 
the ovary is always 2-celled and, although the calyx is truncate, 
not at all toothed or lobed, I feel confident that Anompanaz is 
its correct generic position. It certainly cannot properly be 
placed in any of the other genera to which it has been assigned 
by various botanists.
