BEGONIACEAE 
Íí Begonia camiguinensis Elm. n. sp. 
Scattering clumps; stem  subterete, reddish, succulent, 
curved, occasionally short branched; roots long and fibrous. 
Petioles alternating, chiefly toward the ends of the stems or 
stem branches, glabrous, erect or suberect, terete, also suc- 
culent, green to reddish, varying from 1 to 2 dm long, 
. curing dark brown, subtended by bracts; bracts elongated, 
acuminate, 1.5 cm long, brown when dry, glabrate; blades 
\ horizontal or descending, paler green beneath, glabrous on 
both sides, grayish white punctate beneath, curing dull green, 
inequilateral, ovate in general outline, oblique and deeply 
cordate at the base, apex gradually tapering into a sharply 
acute to acuminate point, the broader side broadly rounded 
at the lower end, the average ones 1.5 dm long by 1 dm 
s wide a trifle below the middle or the widest portion, mar- 
gins entire in the basal sinus, otherwise obscurely wavy or 
coarsely dentate, the edges reddish tinged, coriaceous; veins 
7, all radiating, much darker brown beneath when dry, the 
main one extending into the apex and with 1 to 3 faint 
lateral pairs, the others merely once or twice forked on the 
lower side toward the distal end or above the middle, re- 
ticulations scarcely evident from the upper side. Peduncles 
considerably longer than the petioles, similarly colored and 
glabrate, ` subtended by stipule-like bracts, branched toward 
the top; branches distichously branched from the base, the 
internodes averaging 2 cm apart, a trifle enlarged at the 
point of branching, glabrous and shining, striate; flowers 
alternatingly scattered along the fine ultimate slender bran- 
ches, odorless, white and tinged with red or pink but an- 
* thers bright yellow; flower pedicel 3 mm long, filiform, sub-
