new species. It is curious, that none of the species, tound by the 

 author, agrees with one of the three species: B. altacea Jungh., B. 

 decurrens Fawc. and B. micrmitha Warb., previously rnentioned 

 from the Philipp in es. 



New species: B. fawcettii, Lucban (Mt. Banahao), Province of 

 Ta3'^abas, Luzon. Very near to B. hildebrand Reicht)., but its few 

 and scattering bracts are not imbricated and there are other diffe- 

 rential characters. B. subglobosa, Palo, Leyte, much smaller than 

 B. micrantha Warb., B. incarnata, Todaya (Mt. Apo), District of 

 Davao, Mindanao, possibly nearest allied to B. forbesü Fawc.

Eimer, A. D. E., Philipp ine Curculigo. (Leaflets Philipp. Bot. V 

 Art. 85. p. 1645—1649. 1913.) 



Curculigo recurvata Dry, the most common of the Philippine 

 species; C. glabra, type from Mt. Halcon, and apparently not 

 common; C. orchioides Gaertn., quite common; C agusanensis n. sp., 

 Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, 

 nearest related to C. glabra Merr., whose peduncles are much longer 

 than in the species here proposed and which are as long as those 

 of C. recurvata Dry; C. weberi n. sp., same locality, the foliage is 

 like that of C. agusanensis and C. glabra Merr., but the short pe- 

 duncle and beaked flowers in addition to the glabrous few seeded 

 fruits are characters sufificiently distinct from either; C. brevipedun- 

 culata n. sp., Puerto Princesa, Mt. Pulgar, Palawan, it 

 seems to be distinct from the forms under C. latifolia Dr3^

Eimer, A. D. E., Philippine Gyrinopsis. (Leaflets Philipp. Bot. 

 V. Art. 82. p. 1629—1632. 1913.) 



Gyrinopsis brachyantha Merr., only known from the Province ot 

 Cagayan, Luzon; G. cumingiana Decne, scattered throughout 

 the Philippines; G. cumingiana pubescens n. var., Todaya (Mt. Apo), 

 District of Davao, Mindanao, primarily distinguished from the 

 species by its pubescent under leaf surfaces; G. urdanetense n. sp., 

 Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan , Mindanao; 

 G. citrinaecarpa n. sp., same locality, closely related to but not iden- 

 tical with G. cumingiana pubescens. Jongmans. 



Eimer, A. D. E., Philipp ine Polyosma. (Leaflets Philippine Bot. 

 V. Art. 83, p. 1633—1639. 1913.) 



Polyosma philippinensis Merr., rather common in the hill forest 

 of middle Luzon; P. verticillata Merr., quite common on mount 

 Santo Tomas, ßenguet province, Luzon; P. retiisa C. B. 

 Rob.. only known from Infanta, Tayabas province, Luzon; 

 P. piperi Merr., at Hinatuan, province ofSurigao, Mindanao; 

 P. apoensis n. sp., Todaya (M t. Apo), District of Davao, Min- 

 danao, closely related to P. philippinensis Merr., P. verticillata 

 Merr. and P. gitingensis Elm. The leaves are not verticillate, 

 lateral nerves and fruits not as in many Sibuyan specimens and 

 the leaves as well as the pubescent ovoidly ellipsoid fruits are 

 smaller than in the first species rnentioned, under which name it 

 was distributed; P. gitingensis n. sp., Magallanes (Mt. Giting- 

 giting), Province of Capiz, Sibuyan, critically distinguished
