JANUARY 11, 1911] NEW AND NOTEWORTHY RUBIACEAE : 1021 
Type specimen 12298, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, April, 
1910. 
In alluvial soil of a densely forested humid flat at 1000 
feet, along the Pauala river. Named after Bartling who has 
published a number or Philippine Rubiaceae. 
Most closely related to J. macrophylla Bartl. but leaves 
more membranous, not cureate at the base; inflorescence 
not congested, entirely glabrous; branchlets in ours articu- 
late and with subtending bracts. 
PSYCHOTRIA Linn. 
Psychotria luzoniensis Vil. in Blanco’s Fl. Filip. III. 
Nov. App. 112. P. tacpo (Blco.) Rolfe in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
XXI; 312, 1884. Paederia tacpo Blco. Fl. Filip. I; 160, 1837. 
A common quite variable shrub all over the Philippines, 
from the seacoast up to 1500 feet or through the cogon 
formation. Never found in subalpine forests and in alpine 
regions. The native name given to my number 12165 from 
Romblon is '"Taepo." P. pauciflora Bartl. in DC. Prod. IV; 
522, 1830 is undoubtedly a form of this species with smaller 
leaves and short only sparingly branched inflorescences. 
Psychotria ixoroides Bartl. in DC. Prod. IV; 522, 1830. 
This has strong affinities with P. paloense Elm. and 
P. tayabensis of the same author. In the latter species the 
inflorescence as well as the infrutescence is a sessile head, 
while Bartling’s species is at least short branched. Again, P. 
ixoroides Bartl. is likewise different from the former is being 
glabrous, leaves long attenuate toward the base with obscure 
nerves. All of these three species are about equally rare. 
Psychotria phanerophlebia Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 
V; 248, 1910. 
Based upon Bureau of Science number 7404, collected by 
Maximo Ramos, near Pamplona, province of Cagayan, Luzon.
