SOLANACEAE 
Solanum banahaense n. sp.—A lax shrub, 2 to 4 m. 
high; bark yellowish gray. Leaves diverse in size, alternate 
or the uppermost ones opposite and very unequal in size, 
membranous, glabrous, the larger ones 9 mm. long by 4 
mm. wide, oblong or the smaller ones subelliptic, apex acute 
to acuminate, base obtuse or acute, much paler beneath, 
the 5 to 7 pairs of nerves arching and united some distance 
from the margin; petiole 1 em. long, glabrous. Yellow flowers 
single or 2 to 3-clustered, chiefly in the axils of leaves or 
in the axils of their scars, upon very slender 2 cm. long 
glabrous pedicels; calyx also glabrous, campanulate, 3 mm. 
deep, 4 mm. wide, leather brown, truncate, 4-nerved; corolla 
yellow, urn shaped, 1 em. long, 6 em. wide across the top; 
its 4 lobes triangularly obtuse, about 4 mm. long, 3-nerved, 
pulverulent on the inner surface, the apical tips wrinkled 
and inflexed; stamens 4, about as many mm. long, included 
and grown to the corolla tube, their filaments very short 
or none; style columnar, bearing a small stigma; berry

Type specimen 7492, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province 
of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1906. In deep ravines along water 
courses at 900 meters on Mount Banahao. Rare and related 
to S. hlumei Nees et Bim. from which our species is at 
once distinguished by its 4-merous flowers, truncate calyx 
and yellow berries. 
Solanum lagunense n. sp.— Apparently shrubs; gray twigs 
finely lenticelled, the younger portion soft rusty pubescent. 
Leaves alternate, quite variable, slightly inequilateral, lance- 
olate to oblong or the smaller subelliptic, apex acute to 
acuminate, base acute and frequently unequally sided, mem- 
branous, darker green above, the medium sized blades 16 em. 
long by 6 em. wide, glabrous or the midvein beneath pubescent, 
with entire margins; nerves 7 to 9 on each side, ascendingly 
arched, anastomosing at apex, nearly equally prominent on 
both sides; petiole for the average sized leaf 3 cm. long, 
slender, ferruginous pubescent or becoming subglabrous with 
age, deciduous. Inflorescense terminal, or upon short special 
branchlets or from the leaf axils, in few or several flowered
