 the distal 5 cm divided into 7.5 mm wide lobes of which 

 the apical 1 cm is distinctly upwardly curved, obtusely 

 terminated; stamens 9, about 4 cm long, glabrous, the basal 

 two thirds united into a broad straight tube, the apical 

 one third free and ascending; filament subequal in length, 

 the upper ones longer, free toward the base, flattened; 

 anthers basifixed or nearly so, the 2 lateral ones 3 mm 

 long, 2 mm wide across the upper portion, notched or 

 sinuately lobed at the hairy apex, base much narrower 

 and obtuse; the other anthers glabrous, 1 mm longer, 1.5 

 ram wide throughout, emarginate at the apex, truncate at the 

 base; ovary subterete, short velvety pubescent, 1.5 cm long;

Type specimen number 13594, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabad- 

 baran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, Aug- 

 ust, 1912. 



Discovered along the rocky forested banks of the Ca- 

 tangan creek at 1500 feet elevation. Named with pleasure 

 after Mr. Clyde MacMillan, the supervising American teacher . 

 at Cabadbaran who has shown me many favors which were 

 highly appreciated. The Monobos call it "Bunalan." 



Chiefly differs from my number 6233 or the type of Mucu- 

 una longipedunculata Merr. in having only one half a3 large 

 bracts which with the pedicels and calyces are more dense- 

 ly covered with a dark velvety brown tomentose not cine- 

 reous or subglabrous. There are other minor differences in 

 the flowers and leaves. 



Along this same creek in the densely forested flats there 

 is another very distinct species of Mucuna which I failed 

 to get even after making quite a clearing. Flowers of it 

 were often seen on the ground and whose corollas were scarce- 

 ly any longer than wide, were of the same creamy white color 

 when fresh and turning deep black while withering and 

 becoming dry.
