quently articulated above the middle and with a pair of 

 bracts; branchlets o to 8 cm long, compressed and grooved 

 along the sides, easily separating at the base, distichously 

 rebranched above the middle, the ultimate ones short and 

 expanded at the point of branching; flowers odorless, 

 greenish, usually few clustered from the more or less thick- 

 ened distal end of the last branchlets, subglabrate; pedicel 

 with the calyx 4 mm long, the basal 3 mm pedicel-like, 

 more or less ridged toward the much broadened distal end, 

 usually curved, puberulent; the calyx portion 3.5 mm wide, 

 disk-like and 4-apiculate, rigid; corolla truncately conical and 

 falling off as a hood, more or less angular, the basal one 

 half portion thinner in texture and united though the 4 

 lobes usually separate from the base toward the apex, ex- 

 ternally pulverulent below the middle, puberulent toward the 

 apex, 4 mm long, the edges above the middle with conspic- 

 uous inwardly extending membranous wings, segments ob- 

 tuse at the apex; stamens 4 or of an equal number as there 

 are corolla and calyx segments, apparently opposite the petals; 

 filaments 2.5 mm long, glabrous, much dilated at the base, 

 curved or twisted especially at the apex; anther oblong, 

 1.33 mm long, basifixed, well encased by the petal mar- 

 gins, bilobed, laterally dehiscent; ovary much compressed, 

 likewise glabrous, 3 mm thick, sunken across the truncate 

 apex, sparsely glandular, obscurely 4-lobed, black and rugose 

 around the outside; style erect, arising from the middle of 

 the ovary, 1.5 mm long, terete, light yellow, occasionally 

 gland punctate, thickest at the base, terminated by a small 

 truncate stigma. 



Type specimen number 11696, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya 

 (Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 



Collected in damp forests at 4000 feet altitude along the 

 trail to mount Apo. "Sumagisig" is the Bagobo name. 



Leea agusanensis Elm. n. Bp. 



Lax undershrub; stem 1.5 to 2 cm thick, crooked, 2 

 or even 3 m high or long, usually inclining, very sparingly 

 branched toward the top, glabrous, obscurely striate and 

 brown lenticelled, ater when dry. Leaves few, alternating
