4.5 to 6.5 cm wide, the base acute, apex acute to very shortly 

 and obscurely acuminate; lateral nerves about 10 on each side 

 of the midrib, slender, distinct, somewhat curved, scarcely anas- 

 tomosing; petioles 5 to 8 mm long. Inflorescences axillary and 

 terminal, usually 2- or 3-flowered, the peduncles 1 cm long or 

 less, the pedicels 2 to 3 cm in length. Calyx-lobes broadly ovate 

 to elliptic-ovate, rounded to subacute, 4 to 5 mm long. Corolla- 

 tube cylindric for about 1.6 cm, then inflated for about 1 cm, 

 the lobes about 4 cm long. Disk cylindric, 3 to 4 mm high, ir- 

 regularly and coarsely toothed. Ovary glabrous, ovoid, narrowed 

 upward; style about 2 cm long. Anthers inserted at the ex- 

 pansion of the corolla tube, lanceolate, long-acuminate, about 

 9 mm long, the basal indurated part of the connective ovoid, 

 about 3 mm long. Follicles somewhat woody, divaricate, 

 straight or slightly curved, 17 to 20 cm long, about 2 cm in 

 diameter. Seeds linear-lanceolate, long-acuminate, about 3 cm 

 long, the coma copious, the hairs about 4 cm in length.

 27534- De Mesa, April 28, 1919, growing in deep rich soil at an 

 altitude of 40 meters with the local Tagakaolo name klangnita. 



The alliance of this species is apparently with Kibatalia wig- 

 mani (Koord.) Merr. of Celebes, from which it differs con- 

 spicuously in its slenderly nerved leaves, the lateral nerves 

 scarcely anastomosing. 



KIBATALIA STENOPETALA sp. nov. 



Arbor glabra, circiter 5 m alta, ramulis tenuibus; foliis sub- 

 coriaceis, oblongo-ellipticis, 5 ad 7 cm longis, utrinque subaequa- 

 liter angustatis, acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 6; floribus 

 axillaribus, solitariis vel binis, tubo corollae 1.5 cm longo, cy- 

 lindrico, intus pubescens, lobis anguste lanceolatis, acuminatis, 

 circiter 2.5 cm longis, 4 mm latis. 



A glabrous tree, about 5 m high, the branches nearly black 

 when dry. Leaves subcoriaceous, oblong-elliptic, shining, 5 to 

 7 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the blunt- 

 acuminate apex and to the somewhat decurrent-acuminate base ; 

 lateral nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, distinct, the 

 reticulations very obscure; petioles 2 to 4 mm long. Flowers 

 white, axillary, solitary or in pairs, their pedicels about 2 cm 

 long. Calyx-lobes broadly ovate, 1.5 to 2 mm long, acute or 

 obtuse. Corolla-tube cylindric, about 1.5 cm long, 2.5 mm in 

 diameter, not at all enlarged upward, pubescent inside, the lobes 

 narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, about 2.5 cm long, 4 mm wide. 

 Anthers narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, 5 mm long, the indurated
