Alabastra philippinensia — I 



Charles Budd Robinson 



During the years 1903- 1905 Mr. R. S. Williams made a 

 very extensive collection of plants in the Philippine Islands on 

 behalf of the New York Botanical Garden. At the time a high 

 proportion of the species represented had not yet been described ; 

 but the indefatigable work of the American botanists in the islands 

 has since brought the most of them to light through other sources. 

 Many still remain unpublished, however, and the present paper 

 is intended to call attention to some of these, and to add a few 

 miscellaneous notes upon the flora of this interesting region. All 

 types of newly described species are in the herbarium of the New 

 York Botanical Garden.
