ments exserted 6 to 10 mm. Ovary glabrous; style spatulate. 
Disk prominent, glabrous, about 1.5 mm in diameter. 
PALAWAN, Mount Capoas, Malampaya Bay, Merrill 9497, April 21, 1913, 
epiphytic in the mossy forest, altitude about 950 meters. 
A species readily distinguished by its very short inflorescence, in this 
character approaching D. asperifolium Benth. & Hook. f., and D. brevipes 
Clarke, from both of which, however, it is very distinct. 
TRICHOSPORUM D. Don 
TRICHOSPORUM BRACHYSEPALUM sp. nov. 
Frutex epiphyticus, scandens, glaber, tenuibus; foliis oppos- 
itis, coriaceis, oblongo-lanceolatis, usque ad 8 cm longis, acum- 
inatis, nervis lateralibus obsoletis; floribus axillaribus, solitariis, 
pedicellatis, calycis usque ad basin divisi, segmentis 2 mm 
longis; corolla 2.2 cm longa, curvata, staminibus exsertis, fila- 
mentis pubescentibus. 
An epiphytic, glabrous, slender, branched vine, the stems and 
branches rather slender, terete, light-gray, the branchlets often 
longitudinally sulecate or striate when dry. Leaves opposite, 
oblong-lanceolate, fleshy when fresh, coriaceous and wrinkled 
when dry, 6 to 8 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm wide, narrowed below to 
the acute base, and above to the sharply and usually slenderly 
acuminate apex, the lateral nerves obsolete or nearly so; petioles 
2 to 5 mm long. Flowers axillary, solitary, their pedicels 
slender, glabrous, about 1 cm long. Calyx consisting of 5, small, 
ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 mm long, glabrous lobes. Corolla 
tubular, curved, base broadly rounded, glabrous, 2 to 2.2 cm 
long, about 4.5 mm in diameter, the throat somewhat oblique, 
limb 2-lipped, 2 lobes somewhat larger than the other 3, the lobes 
-orbicular, rounded, about 4 mm in diameter, their margins with 
few, scattered, stiff hairs. Disk glabrous, truncate, 0.5 mm in 
diameter. Ovary glabrous; style pubescent. Stamens exserted 
about 1 cm; filaments pubescent; anthers connate, about 2 mm 
long. 
BASILAN, Cumalarang, Bur. Sci. 16163 Reillo, August 25, 1912. 
A species well characterized by its greatly reduced calyx which consists 
merely of 5, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 mm long lobes.

Species 7. rizalense affinis, differt floribus majoribus, 3.5 cm 
longis, corolla deorsum haud angustata, lobis majoribus (circiter 
6 mm diametro), foliis tenuiter acuminatis.

branches light-gray, terete, the branchlets slender. Leaves
