XIV, 4 Merrill: Noteworthy Philippine Plants, XV 417 



This is the second species of the genus to be found in the 

 Philippines and differs from Miquelia cumingii notably in its 

 umbellately arranged, not capitate, pistillate flowers. 



SAPINDACEAE 



ALLOPHYLUS Linnaeus 

 ALLOPHYLUS STENOPHYLLUS sp. nov. 



Frutex erectus, ramulis foliisque plus minusve pubescens, 

 ramis glabris, lenticellatis ; foliis 5-foliolatis, foliolis chartaceis, 

 angustissime lanceolatis, 5 ad 10 cm longis, 1 ad 1.5 cm latis, 

 tenuiter acuminatis, margine distanter serratis, supra subglabris, 

 subtus ad costa nervisque leviter pubescentibus, axillis dense 

 barbatis; racemis axillaribus, 7 ad 5 cm longis; fructibus sub- 

 ellipsoideis, circiter 5 mm longis. 



A small erect shrub, the branches glabrous, brownish, dis- 

 tinctly lenticellate, the branchlets paler and somewhat appressed- 

 pubescent. Leaves palmately 5-foliolate, their petioles 4 to 6 cm 

 long, appressed-pubescent with short hairs; leaflets chartaceous, 

 very narrowly lanceolate, 5 to 10 cm long, 1 to 1.5 cm wide, 

 slenderly acuminate, base decurrent-acuminate, margins rather 

 distantly serrate, the upper surface pale-olivaceous, shining, gla- 

 brous or very slightly pubescent especially on the midrib, the 

 lower surface paler, sparingly pubescent on the midrib and 

 nerves, densely bearded in the axils; petiolules of the central 

 leaflets 5 to 10 mm long, the lateral leaflets subsessile. Racemes 

 axillary, solitary, sparingly pubescent, 5 to 7 cm long. Fruits 

 rather numerous, subellipsoid, brown when dry, very slightly 

 pubescent, about 5 mm long.

 August 29, 1918, in dry thickets at low altitudes. 



This species manifestly belongs in the group with Allophijhis 

 dimorphus Radlk., from which I do not consider that A. quinatus 

 Radlk. can be specifically distinguished. Allophyhis stenophylhis 

 differs from all forms of the above species in its very narrowly 

 lanceolate leaflets, which are nearly glabrous on both surfaces 

 and which attain a length of 10 cm but do not exceed 1.5 cm 

 in width. 



GUIOA Cavanilles 

 GUIOA PARVIFOLIOLA sp. nov. 



Frutex, partibus junioribus foliisque plus minusve pubescens; 

 foliis 10 cm longis, foliolis plerumque 6, anguste oblongis, 

 obtusis, coriaceis, 2 ad 4 cm longis, 6 ad 15 mm latis, basi angus- 

 tatis, apice obtusis, vetustioribus supra glabris, nervis utrinque
