ly carapanulate, glabrous, 1 cm long, 8 mm wide across the

 filaments very linear, hyaline winged, glabrous, the shorter 

 ones 1 cm long, the longer 1.5 cm long, curved or looped, 

 shorter anthers nearly equalling their filaments, much curv- 

 ed at the thickest lower portion and slightly recurved at the 

 apex, also much lighter in color, opening by a terminal 

 pore, basifixed, with a 1 mm long recurved spur and a pair 

 of 1.5 mm long lateral appendages; longer anthers as long 

 as their filaments, much slenderer, curved, only with a mi- 

 nute spur and the cell appendages reduced to gland shaped 

 bodies or excrescences, otherwise similar to the other anthers; 

 style fleshy, almost 3 cm long, glabrous, terete, termina-

Type specimen numbers 13477 and 13633, A. D. E. 

 Elmer, Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Min- 

 danao, August, 1912. 



The first number above cited was collected in a forest- 

 ed humiil depression on the southwest side of Duros peak 

 at 3000 feet elevation and was called "Lagicau" by the 

 Manobos. The other more luxuriant material is from the 

 forested ridge between Duros and Cawilanan peaks at 3500 

 feet altitude and was named "Etag" by the same natives. 

 This very distinct, large and pure white flowered Medinilla 

 I name after our son, Anton Dambor Elmer. 



Medinilla rotundifolia Elm. n. sp. 



A tree trunk climber; stem bendable, 2.5 cm thick, up

 about its support, with long roots from the lower side next 

 to its host and particularly from the joints, repeatedly 

 branched toward the top; wood white on the outside, dark 

 latericius in the center; bark relatively very thick, smoothish, 

 dirty yellowish gray, latericius except the epidermis; branches
