4.5 to 6.5 em wide, the base acute, apex acute to very shortly 
and obscurely acuminate; lateral nerves about 10 on each side 
of the midrib, slender, distinct, somewhat curved, scarcely anas- 
tomosing; petioles 5 to 8 mm long. Inflorescences axillary and 
terminal, usually 2- or 3-flowered, the peduncles 1 cm long or 
less, the pedicels 2 to 3 cm in length. Calyx-lobes broadly ovate 
to elliptic-ovate, rounded to subacute, 4 to 5 mm long. Corolla- 
tube cylindric for about 1.6 cm, then inflated for about 1 cm, 
the lobes about 4 em long. Disk cylindric, 3 to 4 mm high, ir- 
regularly and coarsely toothed. Ovary glabrous, ovoid, narrowed 
upward; style about 2 cm long. Anthers inserted at the ex- 
pansion of the corolla tube, lanceolate, long-acuminate, about 
9 mm long, the basal indurated part of the connective ovoid, 
about 3 mm long. Follicles somewhat woody, divaricate, 
straight or slightly curved, 17 to 20 cm long, about 2 cm in 
_ diameter. Seeds linear-lanceolate, long-acuminate, about 3 cm 
long, the coma copious, the hairs about 4 em in length.

27534 De Mesa, April 28, 1919, growing in deep rich soil at an 
altitude of 40 meters with the local Tagakaolo name klangnita. 
The alliance of this species is apparently with Kibatalia wig- 
mani (Koord.) Merr. of Celebes, from which it differs con- 
spicuously in its ‘slenderly nerved leaves, the lateral nerves 
scarcely anastomosing. 
KIBATALIA STENOPETALA sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, circiter 5 m alta, ramulis tenuibus; foliis sub- 
coriaceis, oblongo-ellipticis, 5 ad 7 cm longis, utrinque subaequa- 
liter angustatis, acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 6; floribus 
axillaribus, solitariis vel binis, tubo corollae 1.5 em longo, cy- 
lindrico, intus pubescens, lobis anguste lanceolatis, acuminatis, 
circiter 2.5 cm longis, 4 mm latis. 
A glabrous tree, about 5 m high, the branches nearly black 
when dry. Leaves subcoriaceous, oblong-elliptic, shining, 5 to 
7 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the blunt- 
acuminate apex and to the somewhat decurrent-acuminate base; 
lateral nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, distinct, the 
reticulations very obscure; petioles 2 to 4 mm long. Flowers 
white, axillary, solitary or in pairs, their pedicels about 2 cm 
long. Calyx-lobes broadly ovate, 1.5 to 2 mm long, acute or 
obtuse. Corolla-tube cylindric, about 1.5 ecm long, 2.5 mm in 
diameter, not at all enlarged upward, pubescent inside, the lobes 
narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, about 2.5 cm long, 4 mm wide. 
Anthers narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, 5 mm long, the indurated
