566 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. II, Art. 27 
Trichosporam cuernosense Elm. n. sp. 
Subscandent; stems and branches wiry, smooth, terete, yellow- 
ish gray or the younger parts green. Leaves heavy, rigid, slight- 
ly descending, edges comparatively sharp, glabrous, deep green 
on the upper side, yellowish so beneath, ovately lanceolate 
or narrowly oblong, 5 em. long by 2 em. wide just below 
the middle; nerves much ascending, quite conspicuous on the 
under side at Jeast in the dry state, 3 to 5 pairs; petiole 
at least 5 mm. in length, glabrous, much wrinkled in the 
dry state. Inflorescence a few flowered cluster, either sub- 
sessile or upon elongated stalks, terminal or lateral and from 
the leaf axils; peduncle stout, terete, at first provided with - 
yellowish strigose hairs, the primary one less than 1 em. 
long, terminated by 2 to 3 acute bracts; secondary peduncle, 
occasionally present and slenderer; pedicels slender, glabrous, 
1 cm. long, more or less thickened at both ends, especially 
at the distal end; calyx red, 6 mm. long, 4 mm. thick, 
cylindric, easily separating from the base, terminated by 5 
shallowly rounded lobes; corolla cardinal red, yellowish red 
within, 3.5 em. long, tubular below the middle, curved and 
somewhat inflated above this, 8 mm. thick toward the apex, 
mostly glabrous but occasionally strigose; segments mostly 
4, rotately spreading or deflexed, the upper one deeply bilob- 
ed, 7 mm. long, all broadly rounded and sparsely ciliate; 
stamens didymous, slightly protruded; filaments strongly 
curved upward, glabrous, inserted upon the inside of the 
corolla tube above the middle; anthers oblong, 2 mm. 
long, truncate at both ends, dorsally affixed; strap like 
ovary upon a slender glabrous stalk arising from the center 
of the large circular disk; style 3 mm. long, short yellowish

Type specimen 9522, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, March, 1908. 
In dense shrubby jungles on steep north slopes of ra- 
vines at 2750 feet. 
The dry nerved leaves approach T. nervosum Elm. from 
middle northern Luzon, but it has entirely different calyces. 
From T. negrosense Merr. it is distinguished by its nervose 
differently shaped leaves and tubular or cylindric calyx.
