This shrub is a very characteristic one of deep, damp, shaded ravines 
growing along small streams. It extends to an altitude of about 1,200 
meters, but in some regions, Laguna Province, occurs as low as 100 meters 
altitude or less. 
It extends from Penang and the Malay Peninsula through the Malay 
Archipelago to New Guinea. I believe that Valeton is correct in consider- 
ing Adenosacme longifolia Wall., as described by Hooker f., to be a mixture 
of two or three different species. 
UROPHYLLUM Wallich 
UROPHYLLUM ACUMINATISSIMUM sp. nov. 
Frutex glaber; foliis lanceolatis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, usque 
ad 14 cm longis, membranaceis vel chartaceis, basi acutis, apice 
longe caudato-acuminatis apiculatisque, nervis utrinque circiter 
9; floribus axillaribus terminalibusque, plerumque solitariis, 
longe pedicellatis; fructibus globosis, circiter 5 mm diametro. 
A shrub, quite glabrous except the slightly pubescent very 
young branchlets. Branches slender, terete, reddish-brown, the 
young branchlets pale. Leaves lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, 
10 to 14 cm long, 2.5 to 3.5 em wide, membranaceous or chart- 
aceous, base acute, apex long and slenderly caudate-acuminate, 
the acumen ending in a distinct apiculus, the upper surface 
olivaceous, shining, the lower paler, shining; lateral nerves about 
9 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, 
curved-anastomosing, the reticulations lax, distinct; petioles 5 
to 7 mm long; stipules linear-lanceolate, acuminate, as long as 
the petioles. Flowers axillary and solitary or sometimes in a 
few-flowered apical fascicle, the pedicels, in fruit, about 1 cm 
long. Fruit globose, yellowish when fresh, about 5 mm in 
diameter. 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, San Antonio, Bur. Sci. 20423 Ramos, Feb- 
ruary, 1913, in forests. 
A species with much the general appearance of Urophyllum arboreum 
Korth., and manifestly allied to that form, differing in its solitary or 
fascicled, not umbellate flowers, and its very slenderly acuminate leaves.
