Two Hundred Twentt Six New Species — II 



fourths surrounded by the calyx, the apical or exposed por- 

 tion apparently glandular. 



Type specimen number 13822, A. D. E. Elmer, Cahad- 

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

 ember, 1912. 



Discovered this epiphytic shrub upon the lower large 

 limbs of moss covered lofty trees in the very humid for- 

 ested basin just above lake Danao at 5250 feet altitude. 

 "Madolau" is its Manobo name. 



Number 13861 was collected in stony ground along the 

 ridge between Duros and dwilanan peaks at 3500 feet eleva- 

 tion. It was a small slender erect tree and not at all epi- 

 phytic, otherwise the two numbers represent the same species. 



Closely allied to Callicarpa fiavida Elm. but leaves al- 

 ways broadest below the middle or toward the base and 

 with other minor characters. 





Vitex cartifrutescens Elm. n. sp. 



A stocky tree; trunk 6 dm thick, 12 m high, branch- 

 ed from below the middle, forming a dense elongated 

 brown; main branches widely spreading, rebranched all along, 

 the ultimate ones yellowish gray and from 1 to 2 cm 

 thick; bark gray with brown blotches, rather finely checked; 

 sapwood white but very thin, the balance brownish, brittle, 

 very hard and heavy, closely grained. Leaves widely spread- 

 ing, diverse in size, nearly flat, descending, the entire 

 margins more or less wavy, the abruptly acute to acumi- 

 nate apex recurved or only obtusely rounded, base broadly 

 cuneate or obtuse, obovate to obovately oblong, glabrous, 

 drying blackish brown, the more exposed leaves strongly 

 conduplicate on the upper darker green side, lamina 2.5 

 cm wide above the middle, the larger ones measure 6 dm 

 long, alternatingly crowded toward the ends of the twigs; 

 midvein raised beneath, plane on the upper side, yellowish 

 green, glabrous; lateral nerves 7 to 11 but usually 9 pairs, 

 very oblique, similar in color and prominence, usually 

 branched along the lower side from above the middle to- 

 ward their ends, ending in coarse reticulations, the cross 

 bars few and also conspicuous, reticulations relatively fine
