This lividus to white flowered and sweetly fragrant 
Vernonia was collected in the woods of the saddle between 
> Duros and Cawilanan peaks at 3500 feet high above the 
sea. Named ''Bogig" by the Manobos. 
Related to Vernonia arborea Ham. and Vernonia lancifolia 
Merr. Possibly it is Vernonia celebica (Blm.) DC.

Scandent, shrubby; main stem repeatedly branched, the 
terete twigs relatively short, the young tips yellowish gray 
tomentulose. Leaves alternate or more or less bunched near 
the base of the branchlets, chartaceous, deep or almost lucid 
green on the upper glabrate side, beneath much lighter green 
and puberulent especially along the nerves, quite variable, 
subsessile or upon very short petioles, ascending, nearly flat, 
obovate or obovately elongated, 5 to 8 cm long, 2 to 3 cm 
wide above the middle, margins entire but in the dry state 
strongly involute or even revolute, obtuse or occasionally acute 
at the apex, cuneate toward the base, curing unequally on 
its 2 sides; midrib ridged on both sides; lateral nerves 5 to 
8 on a side, ascendingly curved, rather prominent beneath, 
tips articulately united, the few cross bars and coarse retic-
