at both endB; style 1.5 mm. thick, 4 mm. long, terminated 

 by a rugosely 5-lobed flattened stigma; ovary 3.5 mm. wide, 

 also flattened, terete, short and densely tomentose, apparently 

 5-celled. 



Type specimen number 13191, A. D. L. Elmer, Puerto 

 Princesa (Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, May, 1911. 



Collected upon the summit or at 4250 feet altitude of 

 the mountain after which it is named. Messrs. Gutran and 

 fozworthy have also collected it on the same mountain. 



Critically distinguished from S. noronhae Reinw. by its 

 much thinner leaves with less entire margins and whose retic- 

 ulations are very evident from both sides.

Low and spreading shrub; branchlets rather short, crook-

 posite, coriaceous, glabrous, elliptically oblong, the larger blades 

 4 cm. long and nearly 2 cm. wide across the middle, ob- 

 tuse at base, obtuse or subacute at apex, the entire margins 

 curved upon the nether side at least in the dry state, cu- 

 ring dull brown on both sides, the smallest blades one fourth 

 as large; midrib raised beneath, narrowly caniculate above; 

 lateral nerves very obscure, strictly ascending clear into the mar- 

 gins, 7 to 11 on each side, reticulations none; petiole at most 3 mm. 

 long, likewise glabrous, broadly channeled along the upper 

 side. Flowers lost, arising from the uppermost leaf axils, 

 solitary; the pedicel very slender, glabrous, recurved, 2 cm. 

 long or less in length.

 Princesa (Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, May, 1911.
