Mt. Mariveles, top of ridge, 830 m. above sea-level, Prov. Bataan, 

 Luzon, October 17, 1906, F. W. Foxworthy (no. 1679). 



In addition to the above there is in the Bureau of Science her- 

 barium a fragmentary specimen collected by the Rev. R. F. Black 

 in Davao, Mindanao (no. 19), consisting of a leaf, a few flowers 

 and a fruited inflorescence. This is allied to Luisia brachysta- 

 chys Bl., but has spathulate petals. While this appears to be an 

 undescribed species, the material does not warrant further atten- 

 tion here.
