Wendlandia nervosa Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. IIl; 
263, 1908. 
Based upon a single specimen collected by Maximo Ra- 
mos in the province of Zambales, Luzon, in 1907. Number 
5007, Bureau of Science. 
DOLICHOLOBIUM Gray 
Dolicholobium philippinense Trelease * n. sp. 
Rusty villous. Leaves elliptical, acuminate, subacute at 
base, 6 x 12-13 cm., minutely revolute, becoming glabrous 
above but with persistent long rusty hairs along the midrid— 
and to a lesser extent the veins and margin—beneath. Petioles 
about 15 mm. long. Flowers 5-merous. Corolla (in the ster- 
ile form) slender, with narrow lobes (2-3 x 10 mm.) nearly 
equalling the tube. Capsule 2-3 x 12 mm., crowned by the 
broadly funnel-shaped accrescent calyx parted to the middle 
with rounded subacuminate lobes 2 mm. long and wide. Seeds 
0.5 x 1 mm., with a narrowly oblong attenuated wing 3 mm. 
long at each end. 
Philippines, Sibuyan Island, Magallanes (Elmer, 12252, 
April, 1910.) An undershrub on shale rocky soil of wet or 
seepage banks or upon deeply shaded cliffs near water falls. 
Closely allied to the Fijian D, latifolium and D. longis. 
simum, the former of which has broadly obovate round-based 
leaves; and the latter elliptical leaves not acuminately pointed, 
larger flowers with broad corolla lobes (6 x 10 mm.) about 
half as long as the tube, and larger fruit (5 x 16 mm.) with 
minutely toothed calyx. 
This is the ninth species in the genus and the only one 
thus far known from the Philippines. Five are reported from 
Fiji, two from New Guinae and one from Solomon island. 
* Not having the necessary literature for specific determination, 
a small specimen was sent to Dr. William Trelease, Director of the 
Missouri Botanical Garden, who was kind enough to determine and 
diagnose it.
