THE 8CITAMINELB OF THE PHILIPPINES. 187 



deeply bifid, the lobes again retuse, almost bilobed, margins toothed. 

 Staminodes rather large, fleshy, subulate. Stamen-filament linear, chan- 

 neled. Anther linear-oblong, the connective much broader than the 

 narrow cells.

Schumann makes this only a variety of the commonly cultivated A. galanga 

 Sw. but apart from its hairiness the lip and staminodes are very different. 



8. A. cumingii K. Schum. in Pflanzenreich 20 (1904) 315. 



Not a stout plant in proportion to its inflorescence. Leaves subsessile. 

 linear-lanceolate, acuminate, attenuate, subfili form-caudate, glabrous 

 except for the puberulous edge and tip, 45 cm long, 5.5 cm wide; 

 petiole 5 mm long; ligule coriaceous, 5 mm long, the edge ciliate. 

 Panicle long, narrowly cylindric, 40 cm long; branches 6-flowered, 

 crowded, the rachis pilose. Bracts small, oblong, 2 mm long, caducous. 

 Pedicels 2 cm long. Ovary glabrous, 2.5 mm long, elliptic. Calyx 

 tubular, 1 cm long, puberulous, shoitly 3-lobed, the lobes ovate, hairy 

 on the edges. Corolla-tube distinctly longer, glabrous, the lobes linear- 

 oblong, hooded. Lip shorter, deeply bifid, the lobes again shortly divided, 

 the outer lobule ovate, the inner linear, cylindric, blunt. Staminodes 

 linear-subulate, shorter than the claw of the limb. Stamen-filament a 

 little longer than the lip ; anther nearly as long, glabrous, crcstless. 



Luzon, Province of Albay, {Cuming 859). 



Endemic. 



9. A. penduliflora Ridl. in Elm. Lean. Philip. Bot. 2 (1909) 571. 



A tufted plant 3 to 4 m tall. Leaves elliptic-lanceolate, acute, acumi- 

 nate, base rounded, glabrous, 35 cm long, 16 cm wide, the midrib stout, 

 the petiole very short ; ligule as long as the petiole, truncate, entire ; sheath 

 broad, glabrous. Inflorescence 45 cm to 1 m long, terminal, penduloiis ; 

 peduncle short, the rachis stout; branches very numerous, puberulous, 

 2 cm long, clustered, with short, lateral, erect branchlets. Bracts small, 

 ovate, puberulous. Calyx tubular, about 1 cm long, trifid, with three 

 pubescent, subacute, lanceolate lobes. Corolla-tube barely as long, the 

 lobes white, the upper one linear-oblong, obtuse, the lateral ones broader, 

 oblong, rounded. Lip broadly obcuneate, bilobed, lobes crisped and 

 rounded.- Stamen-filament rather short and thick; anther-cells large, 

 the crest ovate, rounded. Capsule globose, about 1 cm long, glabrous, 

 ribbed, many-seeded. 



Leyte, Palo, Elmer 1288. 



Perhaps most closely allied to A. galanga Sw. 



An allied plant with similar foliage and fruit, but with a very dense raceme, 

 with shorter, very crowded, silky branches, is represented by For. Bur. 9-i7 Barnes, 

 from Mount Santo Tomas, Province of Benguet, Luzon, but there are no flowers on 

 the specimen.
