mm. long, the connective faintly apiculate; the free upper one 
half of the ovary conically pointed and finely puberulent, toward 
the base rugulose by the impression of the double stamens; style 
strict, glabrous, 1.5 mm. long; stigma capitate, apparently 
glandular. 
Type specimen 13123, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, April, 1911; also 12754 from the same 
locality. 
Only a few trees of this sp2cies were observed in the great 
thinly wooded flat of rather poor red soil underlaid with gravel 
stones. 
The calyx alone distinguishes it at once from V. mangachapoi 
Blco. which is represented by my number 5737 collected at 
Bauang, province of Union, Luzon. Dedicated to Father Manuel 
Blanco, an Augustinian priest and botanist.
