fresh, brownish when dry, about 7 cm long, 4.5 cm in diameter, 

 longitudinally 5-ridged, the ridges conspicuous near the apex of 

 the fruit, obscure or nearly obsolete in the lower part of the 

 fruit, the persistent calyx lobes pubescent, deeply carinate, the 

 keels produced, narrowly oblong, falcate, 1.5 cm long, 4 mm 

 wide, obtuse. 



MiNDORO, Paluan, Bur. Sci. 38919 Ramos, April 22, 1921. 

 In forests at low altitudes. 



A species manifestly allied to Gardenia carinata Wall., but 

 readily distinguished by its much larger fruits.

 UROPHYLLUM MINDORENSE sp. nov. 



Frutex subglaber, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque par- 

 cissime pubescentibus ; foliis oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, 7 

 ad 11 cm longis, membranaceis, olivaceis, utrinque glabris, 

 acuminatis, basi late acutis, nervis utrinque 8 ad 10, perspicuis, 

 stipulis anguste lanceolatis, deciduis, 3 mm longis; floribus 

 fasciculatis, pedicellatis, bracteis lineari-lanceolatis, 2 ad 3 mm 

 longis; calycis cupulatis, 4 mm longis, 4-lobatis; corolla 8 mm 

 longa, 5-lobata, extus glabra, intus barbata, lobis oblongo-ovatis, 

 acutis, 3.5 ad 4 mm longis. 



A nearly glabrous shrub, the very young parts and the in- 

 florescences obscurely pubescent, the branches slender, pale or 

 greenish, glabrous. Leaves oblong to oblong-elliptic, membrana- 

 ceous, 7 to 11 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, olivaceous, shining, 

 entirely glabrous on both surfaces, the very young ones slightly 

 pubescent, apex rather slenderly acuminate, the base broadly 

 acute ; lateral nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, spreading, 

 rather prominent on the lower surface, anastomosing, the pri- 

 mary reticulations rather lax, distinct; petioles glabrous, 1 to 

 1.8 cm long; stipules narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, about 8 

 mm long. Flowers white, in axillary fascicles, pediceled, the 

 pedicels very slightly pubescent, 2 to 5 mm long, the subtending 

 bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 to 3 mm long. Calyx 

 cup-shaped, about 4 mm long, 4-lobed, the lobes about 2 mm 

 wide, 1 mm long, shortly acuminate. Corolla 8 mm long, gla- 

 brous outside, the tube 4 to 4.5 mm long, somewhat expanded 

 above the calyx rim, the throat densely villous inside, the lobes 

 5, oblong-ovate, acute, 3.5 to 4 mm long, bearded at the base 

 inside. Anthers 1.5 mm long including the rather conspicuous 

 produced connective.
