598 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor, II, Anr. 30 
tending the fruits irregularly, abruptly rounded but the apex ex- 
tended into an involute point closely overarching the young fruits. 
Represented by 7503, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province 
of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1900. 
A rare and very characteristic species in damp wooded 
ravines from 2000 to 3000 feet of mount Banahao and in 
similar places on mount Maquiling. Collected and distributed 
by the writer under a provisional new name, prior to its being 
recollected by Messrs. Curran and Merritt in the same region. 
Is number 838 Cuming, and on which Candolle based 
his description of F. plwmeriaeflora, a mixture? My field ex- 
perience in that region failed to reveal such a combination, 
and I am inclined to believe that the flowers of Cwmings 
number belong to a different species; the characteristie. leaves 
of Candolle's species are unmistakably of the same species as 
that of F. longiflora Merr.
