at the end of the ultimate branchlets; pedicels 2 mm. long, sub- 
tended by blunt and short bracteoles; calyx rim-like, hardly 
apiculate, cinereous as are also the pedicels and bracteoles, 1.5 
mm. across; corolla 5 mm. long, subglabrous and narrowest at 
the base, otherwise umbrinus pulverulent on the outside; the 5 
segments nearly one half as long, glabrous on the upper side,

A tight tree trunk climber and forming loose masses at the 
top, in moist soil of a densely forested flat at 250 feet altitude. 
. Quite rare! 
Evidently related to P. sibuyanensis Elm., yet one is glabrous 
. the other pubescent.
