 ceous, very broad, glabrous, erect, 0.75 mm long by 0.66 

 mm wide, pointed at the apex; anther striangularly ovate, in- 

 wardly curved, 1 mm long and equally as wide across the 

 truncate base, glabrous, dark reddish brown in the dry state, 

 rounded at the apex, flattened, opening along the lateral 

 edges, basifixed; ovary crown rugose or ridged, light cine-

Type specimen numbers 13696 and 13749, A. D. E. 

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

 Mindanao, September, 1912. 



Collected both numbers in the densely wooded and humid 

 depression between the summit peaks of mount Urdaneta 

 at 6000 feet altitude. According to the Manobos the first 

 number is called "Calipayan" and the latter number "Bi- 

 taogan." 



Spike and flowers are more glutinous in Dedea apoense 

 Elm. and the exerted portion of the ovary with the style are 

 distinctly cinereous in our present material. 



Hydrangea cuneatifolia Elm. n. sp. 



A lofty tree climber or rather epiphytic on them; stems 

 and branches forming more or less rigid clumps, the free branch- 

 es hanging, the flowering twigs ascendingly curved. Leaves 

 coriaceous, with recurved obtuse or acute tips, opposite, 

 scattered along the young fulvus stems, margins entire, 

 obovately oblong, cuneate at the base or only occasionally 

 obtusely rounded, glabrous, somewhat paler green beneath, 

 drying brownish, the larger blades 15 cm long, 6 cm wide 

 above the middle; midvein brown and prominent beneath,
