segments broadly obtuse; corolla imbricate, opposite the calyx Xm

oblong, concave on the upper side with inrolled tips, parallel E

mm. long, the valves widely separating after pollination, 
broadly ellipsoid; ovary superior, glabrous, 2-celled, 2-ovu- 
late, each cell conically tapering into 2 nearly free short styles

Type specimen 10027, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuer- 
nos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 
1908. 
Collected in dense shrubberies on a very steep slope at 
3000 feet. The ultimate branches are occasionally very long 
and widely spread over thickets. 
Very near S. philippinensis C. B. Rob., the only other 
Philippine species, but with larger more reticulate leaves 
which are constantly blackish beneath, not green; inflores- 
cence racemose, not cymose; and fruit differently shaped. Compare 
with my number 5866 from Baguio collected a few years 
ago, and which is identical with Robinson’s species. 
DILLENIACEZE. 
SAURAUIA Willd. 
Saurauia panduriformis Elm. n. sp. 
Shrub like tree, 4 m. high; wood coarsely grained, soft, 
reddish especially toward the center; bark rather thick, also 
reddish beneath the brown epidermis, longitudinally checked 
and sealing in plates; branches sparingly rebranched, easily 
breaking, young twigs rough with grayish scales. Leaves 
coriaceous, chiefly terminal and ascending from the suberect 
ends of the twigs, flat, dark green on the upper side, much 
paler beneath, variable in size at least, the larger ones 2 
dm. long by 1 dm. wide above the middle, pandurately 
obovate, the lower surface sprinkled with minute ashy gray 
. scales especially along the nerves, apex rounded or flatly
