342 MERRILL. 



A characteristic species not, apparently, very closely allied to the other 

 Philippine forms, although manifestly in the same group with Clerodendron 

 quadriloculare Merr., C. mindorensis Merr., and C. klemmei Elm. It is 

 distinguishable by its elliptic, obscurely undulate leaves, and its dense, 

 terminal, many-flowered, cymose panicles.

The specimen agrees closely with the description and with Singapore 

 specimens in our herbarium.

A new name is necessary for the Philippine plant, as the one previously 

 selected by me was preoccupied.

Species G. farinosae Bl., et G. cumingianae (Schauer) Rolfe 

 similis et affinis, difFert foliis subtus parce pubescentibus, vetus- 

 tioribus subglabrescentibus. 



A shrub or a small tree, the young branches, petioles, leaves, 

 and inflorescence more or less stellate-pubescent with brown 

 hairs, the older parts becoming glabrous or nearly so. Branches 

 terete, or the younger ones somewhat compressed, ultimately 

 glabrous. Leaves opposite and alternate, ovate to oblong-ovate, 

 chartaceous, entire, the base abruptly acuminate, the apex long 

 and slenderly subcaudate-acuminate, 9 to 17 cm long, 5 to 9 

 cm wide, brownish when dry, of about the same color on both 

 surfaces, the upper surface slightly stellate-pubescent, the hairs 

 more numerous on the midrib and lateral nerves, ultimately 

 nearly glabrous, the lower surface slightly pubescent, and with 

 numerous, small, yellow, glands; nerves about 8 on each side 

 of the midrib, the reticulations subparallel, distinct; petioles 2 

 to 4 cm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, 10 cm long or less, 

 rather densely brown-stellate-pubescent, the peduncles about 

 as long as the petioles, mostly dichotomously branched, the cymes 

 10 cm wide or less. Pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. Calyx cup- 

 shaped, 2 mm long, somewhat pubescent externally, with 5, short, 

 broad, rather sharp teeth. Corolla 5 mm long, glandular exter-
