OCTOBER 14, 1907] FREYCINETIA FROM LUCBAN 218 
Represented by 9011, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province 
of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1907. Only one plant was ob- 
served in very humid forests at 500 meters on the road 
between Lucban and Sampaloc. 
10. F. warburgii n. sp.—Scandent, branched but not 
forming dense bushes. Stems rigid and wiry, hard, smooth, 
brown, 15 mm. thick; branches crooked and ultimately sub- 
deflexed; rings 2 to 3 em. apart. Leaves coriaceous, scat- 
tering along the branches rather evenly, divaricately ascending, 
often yellowish green beneath, 3 em. wide, 2 dm. long, 
broadly linear, gradually tapering toward the acute apex 
finely dentate toward the base, midrib beneath with 
only a few fine scattering teeth; stipules membranous, ad- 
nate, 3 to 5 em. long, with fimbriate auriculate tips, usually 
tearing off the blade and persisting upon the stem. Infru- 
tescence upon a 2.5 em. long suppendulous or recurved stalk; 
pistillate spadices in 3 to 5 radial clusters, subglobose, 3 
to 5 em. long, about 3 em. in diameter, each upon stout green 
15 mm. thick peduncles. Bacca when mature soft, smooth, 
deep crimson red, the basal portion giving off a water colored 
sweet and sticky substance, 10 mm. long, 8 mm. in dia- 
meter across the middle, when fresh roundly angled, grad- 
ually tapering to the base, abruptly tapering to the apex, 
only the upper half free; stigmas 4 to 6; seeds light straw 
color, 2 mm. long, 0.5 mm. wide, flattened and fluted on 
each side, with blunt ends. 
Type specimen 8229, A. D. E. Elmer, Bukal, a barrio 
near Lucban, Province of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1907. Only 
one specimen was observed in a half swampy wooded region 
at about 500 meters. Apparently related to F. spectabilis 
Solms- Laub. from New Caledonia, but. with twice the number 
of stigmas and nearly globose syncarpia. Named in honor 
of Dr. Otto Warburg. 
11. F. monocephala Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 78. 
1906.—A fine and numerously branched climber, festooning 
trees in damp deeply shaded woods at 750 meters on Mount 
Banahao. Stem and main branches brown, the thickness 
of a goose quill. Leaves delicate, equally dark green on 
both sides, cilliate towards the base; stipules 5 mm. long,
