eye; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, j)i"ominent, some- 

 what ascending, nearly straight, anastomosing near the margin, the reticu- 

 lations distinct on the lower surface; petiolules about 1 cm long. 

 Inflorescence axillary, brown-pubescent, the stipe about 1 cm long, very 

 stout, bearing about 4 primary branches 5 to 6 cm long, branched near 

 the apex, and bearing numerous, subsessile, congested, white flowers. 

 Calyx 4 to 5 mm long, slightly pubescent, brown when dry, 4-toothed, 

 the teeth broadly ovate, 1.5 to 2 mm long, with few scattered glands. 

 Corolla 6 mm long, the lobes 4, reflexed in anthesis, oblong, 3 mm long. 

 Anthers 4, 2 mm long, connate, inflexed and included in the tube. 



Luzon, Province of Laguna, Mount Maquiling, For. Bur. 13309 Tamesis, Sep- 

 tember 25, 1909, in forests, altitude about 700 m. 



A most distinct species, well characterized by its prominently glandular 

 leaflets, but especially by its 4-merous flowers, in the latter character differing 

 from all species of the genus known to me.

ABUTILON Tourn. 



Abutilon hirtum (Lam.) G. Don Gen. Syst. 1 (1831) 503. 



Sida hirta Lam. Encycl. 1 (1783) 7. 



Ahniilon graveolens W. & A. var. hirtum Mast, in Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 1 

 (1874) 327. 



M1ND.A.NA0, District of Zamboanga, 3Irs. Clemens 675, HalUer s. n. 



Widely distributed in the Tropics. 



This is probably the form credited to the Philippines by F.-Villar - as A. 

 graveolens W. & A. If the forms described as Abutilon graveolens W. & A., and 

 A. hirtum (Lam.) G. Don, are varietally distinct, as several authors consider 

 them, it is believed that the specific name should be that of the one first described.
