OcronszR 21, 1907] Some New LEGUMINOSAE 224 
ing portion rusty brown; buds ascending, hard; pedicels 
comparatively thick, similarly colored, 5 mm. long, early 
falling, leaving large circular scars; calyx rigid, 5 mm. high, 
cup shaped, 5 mm. across the top, with 5 shallow and 
broadly rounded teeth, fuligineous brown; corolla 15 mm. 
long, mostly ascending or only the tip recurved, coriaceous, 
with a very short light umber colored dense felt like pub- 
escence on the outside, pale white on the inner side, strap 
like, 3 to 5 mm. wide, obtuse at apex, loosely united 
from the middle to the base; stamens very numerous, hair- 
like, subequal, about 3 em. long, loosely united toward the 
base, the free portion tangling, also brown, glabrous; anthers 
brown, 5 mm. long, 0.75 mm. wide, versatilly attached, 
the valves of the sacs spreading and appearing as hyaline’ 
wings after the pollen is shed; ovary 5 mm. long, bristly

Type specimen 8833, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio, Province 
of Benguet, Luzon, March, 1907. Only one tree was seen 
on a ridge of the Sablan cafiyon above that barrio. Later I 
have noticed about one half a dozen trees in precipitous places 
along the Bued river. The flowers are extrem lv delicate 
and rather showy, but owing to their early falling habit 
there is scarcely ever more than one or two on each stalk. 
I take pleasure in naming this species after Mr. R. S. Williams, 
collector for the New York Botanical Garden, whom I first 
met at this station. 
Dioclea umbrina n. sp.—A rigid sprawling climbing 
shrub; young branches sparsely pubescent. Petiole 10 cm.

with broad bases, 2 cm. extended beyond the first leaflets, 
woolly pubescent; petiolule 5 cm. long, similary pubescent, 
also articulate, subtended by 8 mm. long and awl shaped 
stipules; leaflet 14 cm. long, one half as wide, elliptic or the 
lower one ovate, acutely pointed, truncately rounded at the 
base, coriaceous, the upper side strigosely pubescent, more 
densely covered with umber colored hairs beneath, ascending 
veins 9 to 11 pairs and prominent as is also the midvein. In-
