930 LEAFLETS OF PurPPILINE BOTANY [Vor. III, Amr. 51 
5 mm. long; leaflets membranous, dull green above, glaucescent 
beneath, quite similar in color in the dry state, flat, horizontally 
spreading, glabrous, the entire margin apparently thickened, 
nearly equilateral, 12 mm. long, 4 mm. wide across the middle, 
elliptically oblong, obtusely rounded at both ends, the basal por- 
tion in many of them a trifle narrower and very slightly inequi- 
lateral; petiole less than 1 mm. long, glabrous, subtended by 
very fine bracts, midvein quite prominent, the faint lateral ones 
pinnate and from 15 to 20 on' each side. Flowers usually 
solitary from the lower side of the leaflet axils, pendulous, 
very short stipitate, subtended by united bracts, pistillate 
only, glabrous; perianth segments 6, oblong with rounded 
apices, 1.5 mm. long; ovary distinctly stipitate, more or less 
lobulate, subtended at the base by 6 subsessile anther-like 
zlands; fruits nearly 4 mm. across, subglobose, smooth, green, 
8-celled, 3-seeded; seeds 1.75 mm. long, flat and glandu- 
larly grooved on the plane lateral sides, the concave side 
transversely rugose, attached to the ventral edge below the

Type specimen 12399, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes 
(Mt. Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, 
May, 1910. 
Discovered among stones or bowlders of a steep wooded 
slope at 1500 feet. Named after Mr. Guy H. Greene, the 
road master between Magallanes and Espafia, with whom I 
spent a number of pleasent days at his camp on the ridge. 
Its relation is close to P. triphlebius C. B. Rob., but the 
leaflets in our specimens are twice as large, broadest across 
the middle, similarly tapering at both ends, more mem- 
branous and glaucous beneath, punctate not reticulate.
