 several new species. 



Adeuosacme nu'ndaiineJisis Elm.; Argostemma solanißonnn Elm.; 

 Chasalia memhvanifoUa (Bartl.) Elm.; Coptosapetta olacifonnis [Merr.) 

 Elm. nov. comb. {Randia olaciformis Merr.), seems to differ in 

 characters of the fruit, calyx lobes and leaves from C. ßavescens 

 Korth.; Geophila herbacea (L.) Seh.; Greenea hirsiita n. sp., the second 

 Philippine species so far known; Hedyotis hispida Retz; H. humilis 

 Merr.; H. radicans (Bartl.) Miq.; Hydnophytum orbiciilatus n. sp.; 

 Ixora chartacea n. sp. and var. membranacea n. var. ; /. gigantifolia 

 n. sp., different from /. crassifolia Merr. and /. pachyphylla Merr.; 

 /. magnifica n. sp., primarily distinguished from /. mearnsii Merr. 

 by its much longer corolla and obtusely rounded leaf tips; 

 also closely related to /. lobbii Loud.; /. macrophylla Bartl.; /. oblon- 

 gifolia n. "sp., only distantly related to /. inaequifolia C. B. Rob. 

 and to /. macgregorii C. B. Rob.; /. salicifolia ßl.; Lasianthns 

 clementis Merr. ; L. everettii Merr. ; L. copelandi Elm. ; L. microphyllus 

 n. sp., by its fruits related to L. tashivoi Mats.; L. obliqiänervius 

 Merr.; L. submembvauifolius n. sp. ; Lucinaea epiphytica n. sp., 

 primarily differing from L. monocephala Merr., in having usually 

 more than one head upon shorter stalks; the leaves are not reddish 

 tinged in the dry State, generally widest below or at the middle, 

 not above it, their laminae thicker in texture and broader for their 

 length. It is also quite close to L. involucrata Elm.; Mussaenda 

 attenuifoUa n. sp.; M. philippica Rieh.; Myrmecodia urdanetensis 

 n. sp., differs from M. apoensis Elm. by the much smaller leaves 

 with slenderer petioles; Nauclea ategii n. sp., related with N.Kentii 

 Merr. and N. mindanaensis Merr.; N. media Hav. ; i\''. philippinensis 

 (Vid.) Hav.; Ophiorrhisa caespitidosa fulva n. var., mainly separated 

 as a variety by its distinctly deep fulvus pubescence; O. camiguinense 

 n. sp., differs from O. miingos L., its nearest ally, by its lanceolate 

 and very short petiole or subsessile leaves and by its fewer, more 

 scattering and pedicillate capsules; O curtißora n. sp., not O. oblon- 

 gifolia DC. nor its more distant relative 0. caespitidosa Elm.; O. 

 piibescens Elm.; Paederia vevticillata Bl. and var. tomentella n. var., 

 the species is usually less pubescent or nearly glabrous; Pavetta 

 eucrantha Elm.; Petunga longifolia DC; Plectronia cyanea n. sp., 

 by the fruits it belongs to Plectronia rather than to Lasianthus, 

 although its general aspects are that of the latter genus; P. viridis 

 Merr.; Psychotria agusanensis n. sp., from P. diffusa Merr. it differs 

 in having larger more numerously nerved leaves, from P. ovalis 

 Elm. in having longer petioles, larger blades which are more 

 sharply pointed and much less pubescent beneath; its fruits are also 

 thicker; P. epiphytica n. sp., it is neither P. cuernosensis Elm., 

 nor P. elliptica Elm.; P. evythrotricha n. sp., very similar to P. pilo- 

 sella Elm. except the different calyx upon the sessile fruits which 

 are subtended by bracts; P. loheri Elm.; P. hisoniensis Vil.; P. 

 urdanetensis n. sp. ; P. velutina n. sp., allied to P. pliimeriaefolia 

 Elm.; Randia piibifolia n. sp., approaches R. ticaensis Merr. and 

 R. }nindoroensis Merr.; it may be the fruiting specimen of Tricalysia 

 negrosensis Elm., but the leaves are more pubescent and relatively 

 wider; fruiting cells contain more than two seeds, the ovules of 

 which are not pendulous; R. ivhitfordU (Elm.) Merr.; Sarcocephalus 

 mnlticephalns n. sp., distinct from yet nearest to 5. siibditus Miq.; 

 Tarenna cumingiana (Vid.) Elm. nov comb. {Webera cumingiana 

 Vid); T. meyeri Elm. nov. comb. {Pavetta meyeri Elm.)', I.ebracteata
