PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 349 



acuminate, the base broadly rounded, prominently cordate, the 

 sinus 1 to 1.5 cm deep, the margins coarsely and irregularly 

 crenate, both surfaces ciliate, the hairs on the upper surface 

 scattered, those on the lower surfaces mostly on the midrib and 

 nerves; nerves and reticulations lax, prominent, dark-colored in 

 contrast to the grayish lower surface of the leaf; petioles 5 

 to 8 cm long. Inflorescence of terminal, solitary, long-peduncled, 

 spiciform racemes, these, when young, and including the pe- 

 duncles, 6 to 14 cm long, apparently much longer when mature, 

 the verticels with from 6 to 8 flowers, the lower ones distant, 

 the internodes up to 2 cm in length, the upper ones approximate, 

 the bracteoles filiform, 2 mm long, puberulent, very sparingly 

 ciliate. Flowers 5-merous, subsessile or shortly pedicelled. 

 Calyx 6 mm long, 5-angled, minutely puberulent and very spar- 

 ingly ciliate toward the upper end, narrowed at both ends, 

 5-toothed, the teeth oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, margins mi- 

 nutely ciliate. Mature corollas not seen, but from buds with 

 the characteristic lobing and with the characteristic stamens of 

 the genus. 



Luzon, Province of Rizal, Montalban, For. Bur. 3395 Ahern's collector 

 (type), November, 1905. Apparently also represented by Loher 3395 from 

 Angat, Province of Bulacan, Luzon, in the Kew Herbarium. 



This species has the characteristic odor of Pogostemon cahlin Benth., 

 and bears the same native name as that species. It is, however, not at all 

 closely allied, being entirely different in its vegetative characters, its 

 indumentum, and in its inflorescence. It is well characterized by its thin, 

 coarsely crenate, broadly ovate leaves which are prominently and laxly 

 reticulate, and by all parts being sparingly ciliate and more or less minutely 

 puberulent. 



SCUTELLARIA L. 



SCUTELLARIA COPELANDII sp. nov. § Stachymachris. 



Herba usque ad 30 cm alta, plus minusve puberula vel leviter 

 pubescens; foliis ovatis, obtusis, usque ad 4 cm longis, basi 

 late rotundatis, truncatis, vel leviter cordatis, margine crenatis; 

 racemis terminalibus, brevibus; floribus oppositis, circiter 13 

 mm longis. 



A perennial herb, slightly branched, the stems slender, terete 

 or obscurely angled, often prostrate below, puberulent or slightly 

 pubescent, pale when dry. Leaves ovate, 1 to 4 cm long, 1 to 

 2.7 cm wide, membranaceous, of about the same color on both 

 surfaces when dry, the apex obtuse, base broadly rounded, 

 subtruncate, or somewhat cordate, both surfaces minutely pube- 

 rulent or the lower one somewhat ciliate-pubescent on the nerves, 

 the lower surface minutely glandular, the margins crenate; pe-
