The first species of the genus to be reported from the Philippines, allied to 

 Greenea corymhosa (Jack) K. Sch., of Burma and the Malay Peninsula, but 

 abundantly distinct. 



GREENIOPSIS gen. nov.

 rotundati, corolla breviter infundibularis, fauce villosa; limbi lobi 5, 

 breves, rotundati, in alabastro sinistrorsum contorto-imbricati. Stamina

 basin affixae, ellipticae. Ovarium 2-loculare; stylus gracilis, lobis stig- 

 matis brevibus, crassis; ovula in loculis plurima, in placentis septo 

 longitudinaliter adnatis conferta. Capsula oblonga vel ovoidea, 2-locu- 

 laris, septicide 2-valvis, coriacea. Semina numerosissima, elongata 

 praecipue in nucleo reticulato-areolata. Arbores. Folia opposita, char- 

 tacea vel subcoriacea, oblongo-obovata vel elliptico-obovata, petiolata. 

 Stipulae amplae, deciduae, interpetiolares, acuminatae. Flores parvi.

This proposed new genus is allied to Emmenopterys of southern China and to 

 Mussaendiopsis of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo, but differs from 

 both in none of its calyx lobes being accrescent, and from the latter also in its 

 stamens inserted at the throat of the corolla-tube. It consists of two closely 

 allied Philippine species, the following, the type of the genus, which has been 

 previously referred to Greenea, species undetermined, and the i)lant described 

 by Mr. Elmer as Mussaendiop.sis nniltiflora.
