or obtuse at apex, all straight and nearly flat, shallowly

 ous, short stipitate, 3 mm. long, compressed, the glabrous 

 connective brown crusted at the apex, sacs lateral; pistils 

 fewer, angular, one half as long as the anthers, canescent; 

 fruits dark green and minutely yellowish green spotted, 2.25

Type specimen numbers 12565 and 12644, A. D. E. Elmer, 

 the former from Magallanea (Mt. Giting-giting), Province of 

 Capiz, Sibuyan, May, 1910; the latter from Brooks Point 

 (Addison Peak), Palawan, February, 1911. 



The Sibuyan specimens were gathered along a small 

 stream of scattered woods at 250 feet altitude; the Palawan 

 material in sandy soil mixed with fine gravel in woods 

 bordering a swamp back of the seacoast forests. The Tag- 

 banuas on Palawan call it "Alismat," 



The foliage of this species is identical with that of the 

 two preceding species, but the flowers exhibit specific differ- 

 ences. Named after Mr. W. Klemme who first collected 

 it in the province of Cagayan, Luzon, June, 1906. See 

 Forestry Bureau number 4289.
