January 11, 1911] New AND NOTEWORTHY RUBIACEAE 991 
specimens of my Todaya number 10886:—Tree, 13 m. high, 4.5 
dm. thick: wood moderately soft, yellowish brown, thinly check- 
ed; branches from above the middle, forming an elongated crown, 
the branchlets widely spreading, lax and some even droop- 
ing. Leaves similarly green on both sides, nearly flat or 
only the tips recurved, submembranous. Inflorescence upon 
8 em. long green peduncles, axillary or terminal, mostly de- 
scending; buds green; flowering heads globose, 3 cm. in di- 
ameter; pistil creamy white, the corolla creamy yellow or 
greenish white; calyx green. A fine tree in dense forests of 
moist fertile soil south of the Baruring river at 4000 feet. 
Known to the Bagobos as ''Mamulocko." 
MUSSAENDA Linn. 
Mussaenda albiflora Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. V; 
241, 1910. 
The type is Forestry Bureau number 17358, collected 
by Mr. Curran last year on the island of Negros. There 
are several sheets in the herbarium, Bureau of Science, all 
from Negros. 
Mussaenda grandifolia Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. I; 13, 
1906. 
This remarkable species has not been recollected. The 
leaves, color of pubescence and the branching of the inflor- 
escence resemble that of M. vidalii Elm., but the short 
persistent calyx segments are entirely different. 
Mussaenda philippinensis Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. III; 
264, 1908. 
This is based on a single sheet, collected by the author 
on Semerara island in July, 1905. 
I erroneously referred it under M. anisophylla Vid. when 
the first article of the Leaflets was written, although at that 
time I wrote a note on the sheet in regard to the long and 
apparently persistent calyx segments.  Merrill's number is 4139.
