324 MERRILL. 



along one side of the branches. Calyx-tube very short, the limb mem- 

 branaceous, 1 mm long, obscurely 4-toothed. Corolla-tube about 15 mm 

 long, cylindric, 3 mm in diameter, the outside with very few short 

 appressecl hairs; lobes 4, spreading or recurved, imbricate, broadly elliptic- 

 ovate, acute or blunt, 4 to 4.5 mm long. Stamens 4, the filaments very 

 short, inserted above the middle of the tube; anthers linear, G mm long, 

 included. Style in the male flowers about 4 mm long, 4-cleft, obscurely 

 pubescent. 



Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Tibucuy, For. liur. 9J/30 Whitford d 

 Hutchinson, February, 1908, in forests at an altitude of about 20 m. 



The first species of the genus to be reported from the Philippines, allied to 

 Greenea corymbosa (Jack) K. Sch., of Burma and the Malay Peninsula, but 

 abundantly distinct. 



GREEN IOPSIS gen. nov. 



Calycifi tubus turbinatus; limbi lobi 5, subaequales, breves, sub- 

 rotundati, corolla breviter infundibularis, fauce villosa; limbi lobi 5, 

 breves, rotundati, in alabastro sinistrorsum contorto-imbricati. Stamina 

 5, fauci corollae inserta, inclusa, filamentis brevibus; antherae dorso supra 

 basin affixae, ellipticae. Ovarium 2-loculare; stylus gracilis, lobis stig- 

 matis brevibus, crassis; ovula in loculis plurima, in placentis septo 

 longitudinaliter adnatis conferta. Capsula oblonga vel ovoidea, 2-locu- 

 laris, septicide 2-valvis, coriacea. Semina numerosissima, elongata 

 praecipue in nucleo reticulato-areolata. Arbores. Folia opposita, char- 

 tacea vel subcoriacea, oblongo-obovata vel elliptico-obovata, petiolata. 

 Stipulae amplae, deciduae, interpetiolares, acuminatae. Flores parvi. 

 Inflorescentia terminalis, multifiora, evmis amplis, paniculatis, ramis 

 ramulisque patulis. 



This proposed new genus is allied to Emmcnoptcrys of southern China and to 

 Mussacndiopsis of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo, but differs from 

 both in none of its calyx lobes being accrescent, and from the latter also in its 

 stamens inserted at the throat of the corolla-tube. It consists of two closely 

 allied Philippine species, the following, the type of the genus, which has been 

 previously referred to Greenea, species undetermined, and the plant described 

 by Mr. Elmer as .1/ ussaendiopsis multiflora. 



Greeniopsis philippininensis sp. nov. 



Arbor circiter 10 m alta; foliis oblongo-obovatis vel elliptico-obovatis, 

 subchartaceis, nitidis, 20 ad 30 cm longis, apice breviter acuminatis, basi 

 augustatis, decurrento-acuminatis, nervis utrinque 15 ad 18, prominen- 

 tibus, glabris vel juniorJbus subtus minus hirsutis; paniculis terminalibus, 

 amplis, ramis ramulisque patentibus, circiter 20 cm longis; floribus 

 breviter pedicellatis, albis, 4 ad 5 mm longis; capsulis ellipsoideis vel 

 ovoideis, 4 mm longis, extus griseo-pubescentibus, septicide 2-valvatis, 

 apice limbo persistente coronatis. 



A tree about 10 m high. Branches terete, reddish-brown, rugose, the 

 younger branches reddish-brown, smooth, glabrous or sometimes hirsute.
