brous and broadly united into a tube; segments 5, alter- 

 nating with the calyx extensions, ovately oblong, submem- 

 branous, t.ie blunt acutely pointed apex usually recurved 

 and somewhat twisted, densely puberulent along the thick, 

 ened edges, otherwise glabrate, more or less light glandular 

 on the outside, divaricately spreading; stamens 5, erect, al- 

 ternating with the corolla segments and inserted upon the 

 throat; filaments glabrous, 1 mm long, flattened, erect; an- 

 thers 3.5 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, oblong, basifixed, broadly 

 notched at the base, with a pair of apical pores on the 

 inner side a trifle below the obtuse apex, erect and con- 

 tiguous; ovary conical, 2.5 mm long, 1.75 mm thick, smooth 

 and glabrous; neck 4.5 mm long, also glabrous, terete, 0.5

Type specimen number 13828, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabad- 

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

 ember, 1912. 



Gathered from nearly decayed large timbers lying upon 

 wet earth of an open gulch in dense forests about lake 

 Danao at 5000 feet elevation. 



Solanum crassipetalum Wall, but our specimen seem to 

 differ from the descriptions in a number of minor characters. 

 Number 13881 from this same general region was also 

 distributed under this new name yet I really believe it to 

 be a distinct species. To be compared with Solanum bi- 

 florum Lour, and Solanum dentkulatum Blm. 



THEACEAE 



Adinandra apoense Elm. n. sp. 



A rather large tree; trunk 6 dm thick, 15 m high; 

 branches chiefly above the middle, forming an elongated

 wood whitish or turning brownish toward the center, mod- 

 erately soft; bark brown, gray on the branchlets. Leaves 

 rigidly coriaceous, elliptically oblong or ovately so, glabrous, 

 shining green above, much paler green beneath, curing un- 

 equally dull brown on its 2 sides, alternate, copious, the 

 edges slightly recurved at least in the dry state, entire to-
