moderately stout, younger branches pubescent, older ones gla- 

 brescent, tendrils compressed, circinate, pubescent. Leaves

 long. Flowers in lax long peduncled copious terminal racemes, 

 8 — 18 cm long, lower flowers usually deciduous; bracts ulti- 

 mately deciduous, ovate-acute; pedicel 3 — 3,5 cm long, densely 

 rusty -tomentose or velvety; buds narrowly clavate, 1,5 — 2 cm 

 long, the narrowiy fusiform upper part rather longer than the 

 narrow slightly infundibuliform base. Calyx rusty -velutinous 

 or subsilky, limb splitting into reflexed equal linear- lanceolate 

 lobes, 2 cm long, 4 mm wide, infundibular lower part 1 cm long. 

 Petals 5, subequal, oblanceolate, clawed, about 2,4 cm long, 6 mm 

 wide, externally rusty -silky. Stamens 5, 3 fertile, linear -oblong, 

 filaments of fertile stamens uniform. Ovary distinctly stalked, den- 

 sely silky, style silky, stout, about 1,2 cm long, stigma large peltate. 



Luzon, Prov. Rizal, Antipole (Merrill no. 1317, in flower 

 in February). 



This species is probably closely allied to Bauhinia fer'ru- 

 ginea Roxb., but differs from it in the leaf -lobes which are more 

 acute in our specimen, in the more numerous nerves, and in 

 the shape of the calyx- tube.
