minal, 3 to 6 dm. long and correspondingly wide, broadly 
cymosely paniculate, several branched from the base, occasionally 
subtended by  foliaceous bracts; branches and branchlets in

fragrant, pedicels strict, 1 to 3 to 5 mm. long, glabrous, 
subtended ` by apiculate bracts; calyx very short, flattened, 
with 4 apiculate teeth; corolla tube 2 mm. long, glabrous on 
the exterior, with long yellowish hairs near or at the throat; 
the 4 oblong segments equal in length, obtuse ‘at the apex, 
glabrous on both sides, 1.25 mm. wide, reflexed in anthesis; 
stamens filiform, glabrous, about 3 mm. long, adnate to the 
throat of the corolla and alternating with its segments; 
anthers ellipsoid, curved, 0.5 mm. long; style at least 2 mm.

Type specimen 9178, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province 
of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1907. In dense shrubberies along 
rivulets of low gulches at 600 meters. Its numerous branches 
form widely sprawling masses over the tops of shrubs and 
small trees. When in full flower it can be seen a long 
distance as a mass of white and the strong odor is most 
pleasing. 
Psychotria loheri n. sp.— Shrub 4 m. high, widely and 
numerously branched toward the top, wood soft; bark grayish; 
branchlets brown, glabrous. Leaves chiefly at the ends of 
the twigs, much varying in size, the normal ones 6 em. long, 
2 em. wide across the middle, lanceolate to oblong or sub- 
elliptic, more or less abruptly but equally tapering towards 
both ends, acute apex obtusely pointed, base attenuate, 
submembranous, dull dark green above, paler beneath, pin- 
nately nerved with 9 to 13 pairs; petiole 5 mm. long, 
glabrous; stipule a very narrow brown rim. Infrutescence 
terminal; peduncles 1 to 2 cm. long, slender, glabrous, 
usually 2, the central one longer; pedicels 3 to 5 mm. long 
or .almost none, persistent; drupes subsessilly clustered or
