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.

 2753U 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
