below the middle, bristly pubescent on the outside, the

Type specimens 11585 and 11490, A. D. E. Elmer, To- 
daya (Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, August, 1909. 
The former number was gathered from precipitous slopes 
or cliffs along the Cati creek at 6000 feet of Apo; the latter 
number in a deep limestone cut along the Seriban creek at 
5750 feet or about 500 feet below Baclayan camp. For both 
specimens the Bagobos gave me the name "''Tarinagub."' 
This species closely allies itself to C. pallida Elm. from 
which it is quite distinct in a number of characters. Our spe- 
cies here proposed is specifically distinct from similar specimens 
collected a few years ago in the province of Benguet, Luzon.
