terminal, erect or somewhat recurved, 3 to 5 cm long and 
nearly as broad, umbellately branched from below the mid- 
dle, peduncle one third as long, shining yellowish green 
though brown when dry, more or less angular; main bran- 
ches similar, longer than the peduncle proper, rebranched 
toward their distal ends only; pedicel varying from 1 to 3 
mm long; calyx greenish, glabrous, subarticulate at the base, 
narrowly cup shaped, 1.5 mm high including the 5 divergent 
apiculate teeth; corolla yellowish green, also glabrous except 
the sparsely pubescent tube on the inside, 2.5 mm long, 
twice as broad, the basal one half united into a broad 
tube; the 5 segments elliptic or oblong, rounded at the 
apex, strongly recurved in anthesis, the margins very finely 
ciliate; stamens 5, free, inserted upon the base of the corol- 
la tube and alternating with the segments; filaments sub-

ly elliptic, shallowly bilobed at both ends, subdorsifixed, cells

Type specimen number 14264, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio 
(Mt. Santo Tomas), Province of Benguet, Luzon, March, 
1913. 
This same species I have collected ten years ago in the 
same rocky soil of a steep northern slope of Santo Tomas 
at 7500 feet altitude. Other collectors have failed to collect 
it. The inflorescence reminds one of Scheffera and its strong 
odor especially after being cured is that of Valeriana. 
Dr. Aug. Henry’s number 34lóa from central China 
or Viburnum propincuum Hemsl. is a very closely related 
species.
