 mosely disposed, densely brown-appressed-tomentose. Calyx tube and 

 pedicels not differentiated, 7 to 8 cm long, gradually thickened upwards, 

 densely brown-tomentose, the calyx lobes narrowly lanceolate or linear- 

 lanceolate, 4 to 5 cm long, about 5 mm wide, densely brown-pubescent

 clawed. Fertile stamens 10. Ovary glabrous. Pods woody, about 20

 PJ07. 



A striking species, well characterized by its entire leaves, undifferentiated 

 calyx tube and pedicel, very long calyx lobes, 10 fertile stamens, and rather 

 large pods. 



MUCUNA Adans. 



Mucuna mindorensis nom. nov. 



Mucuna acuminata Merr. Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (190(5) Suppl. 19G, non Grab. 



In describing the above species the fact was overlooked that the specific name 

 acuminata had already been used. Accordingly the above new name is here 

 proposed for tlie sjjecies. 



GLYCINE Linn. 



Glycine warburgii (Perk.) comb. nov. 



Pueraria warburgii Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 87. 



Mindanao, Taumo, Warburg IJ/GOJi, in Herb. Berol. (type) ; District of 

 Davao, DeVore & Hoover 368, May, 1903; Santa Cruz, Williams 2953, June, 190,5: 

 Province of Surigao, Baganga, Merrill 5430, October 6, 1906. 



The plant is apparently Glycine and not Pueraria, and seems to be allied to 

 G. javanica Linn. I have examined the type of Pueraria warburgii in Herb. 

 Berol., and find that the other specimens here cited closely match it. According 

 to Perkins 1. c, a closely allied, if not identical form, is found in Celebes.
