Type specimen 7461, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province 
of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1906. In woodlands of Mount 
Banahao from 700 to 1000 meters. Its fruits and foliage 
are remarkably suggestive of some species of Pipers. 
x Schefflera  longifrutescens n. sp.—A much branched 
epiphyte upon limbs of large trees; branches smooth, yel- 
lowish gray, rather crooked and rigid. Leaves alternate, 
trifoliate, quite variable in size and shape; peduncles quite 
thick, 3 to 13 em. long, terete, glabrous, with corky cor- 
rugations at the base stipule or axillary bract rigid, obtuse, 
6 mm. long, persistent; blade coriaceous, elliptic to oblong, 
glabrous, nerves faint, apex abruptly contracted to an acute 
point, base obtusely rounded, the obscure retieulations equally 
visible on both sides, the terminal leaflet larger and usually 
oblong, 15 cm. long by 7 em. wide, the lateral ones much 
smaller and elliptic; petiolule articulate, the lateral ones 2 
em. long, the terminal oue longer. Infrutescence chiefly 
terminal, 1 to 3-clustered, 2 to 3 dm. long, spicate and 
subpendulous, glabrous; fruits upon slender 7 mm. long 
glabrous pedicels, 1 to 3 in a cluster or occasionally aris- 
ing from short peduncles; berries broadly elliptie, yellow 
but soon becoming reddish, 5 mm. thick, gray apex trun- 
cate, 4-seeded, apparently only 2 maturing; pyrene 3.5 mm. 
long, oblong, compressed, straw color. 
Type specimen 7354, A. D. E. Elmer, Palo, Province 
of Leyte, Leyte, January, 1906. Forming rigid bushes upon 
trees at the rapids of Bangon River two miles above Palo. 
The fruits were eagerly eaten by the birds. 
 Anthrophyllum sablanense n. sp.—Unbranched trees, 10 
m. high with brownish gray bark and soft wood containing 
a large pith. Leaf rachis 1 to 2 m. long, divaricate or the 
older ones descending; true petiole only 3 to 6 dm. long, 
its base thick and flattened, closely set upon one another, 
leaving much flattened almost winged scars after falling; 
leaflets coriaceous, lucid green above, paler beneath, glabrous, 
strongly conduplicate on the upper surface, usually with 
recurved tips, finely involute margins undulate or twisted, 
quite variable in size, an average blade 2 dm. long, one
