Batan, Santo Domingo de Basco, Bur. Sci. 3622 Fenix, May 30, 1907. Cami- 

 GUIN, Ji023 Fenix. N. v., Anaif. 



A species well characterized by its relatively broad leaves, few cymes, and 

 these only in the upper axils, the very long-exserted stamens and style. It has 

 more the facies of Premna than of CalUcarpa. 



PREMNA Linn. 

 P. odorata Blanco. 



Batan, Santo Domingo de Basco, 3193 M earns. 

 Known only from the Philippines, where it is common and widely distributed. 



P. subglabra Merr. 



Camiguin, 39JtO Fenix. Batan, Santo Domingo de Basco, 3236 Mearns. 

 Babuyan, 3921 Fenix. 



Rather widely distributed in the Philippines; endemic. 



P. integrifolia Linn. 



Fuga, 323S Mearns. 



The common seacoast form that has been identified with the Linnean species, 

 common throughout the Philippines along the seashore; India to Formosa, and 

 Malaya. 



There is some doubt as to the exact identity of the Linnean species, but 

 whether or not true Premna integrifolia Linn., the specimen cited above seems 

 also to be very close to P. laevigata Miq., from Sumatra, and to P. obtusifolia 

 R. Br., of northern Australia. 



CLERODENDRON Linn. 



C. intermedium Cham. 

 Camiguin, Jfl'fS Fenix. 



Very common and widely distributed in the Philippines; endemic, but with 

 very closely allied forms found both in Formosa and in Celebes.
