Marca 27, 1915] Two Hoxprep Twenty 31x New Sprecies—I 9693 
fruit, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), District of Da- 
vao, Mindanao, August and May respectively, 1909. 
Both of these numbers were collected in rich soil thick- 
ly overlaid with forest humus at 4000 feet altitude. The 
flowering specimen was called ‘‘Mata-mate’’, the fruiting ones 
‘“‘Maram-may” by the Bagobos. 
My number 7192 from Palo, Leyte I now consider Stemo- 
nurus cumingianus Meirs. and which is not the same as our 
present species. Neither can I agree that Williams’ number 
2582 from this same region is exactly like mine.
