The eleventh paper of this series is essentially like its pred- 

 ecessors." It consists of the descriptions of 90 new species of 

 Philippine plants in the families Chloranthaceae, Aristolochia- 

 ceae, Saxifragaceae, Cunoniaceae, Legiiminosae, Simarubaceae, 

 Burseraceae, Anacardiaceae, Sabiaceae, Rhamnaceae, Elaeo- 

 carpaceae, Begmiiaceae, Ericaceae, Sapotaceae, Apocynaceae, 

 Verbenaceae, and Gesnet'iaceae. About 12 previously described 

 species are for the first time credited to the Archipelago, making 

 the total number of additions to the Philippine flora, recorded 

 in this paper, approximately 100. Genera recorded from the 

 Archipelago for the first time are Aquilaria, Koompassia, Meli- 

 lotus, Neptunia, Cymodocea, Diplanthera, Hanguana, Urceola, 

 Vallaris, and Protium. A few reductions are made and a few 

 changes in nomenclature are recorded as such changes have 

 been indicated by the rules of the international code of botanical 

 nomenclature.
