Legit J. C. v. p. M. M., Oct. 1920, Palimanan.

SAXIFRAGACEAE. 
Hydrangea Hortensia Sieb. 
Legit J. J. S. in suo horto, Aug. 1920. 
Two leaves with their blades grown together. 
id. id., June 1921. 
Blades grown together along one of their margins but apices 
and petioles free. Although the tops are very narrow the rest 
of the blades is very wide. The leaves belong to the same pair 
and the specimen is a cutting of the above mentioned one. 
id. id., June 1921. 
In this case there is a firm coherence between the margins 
of two leaves belonging to subsequent pairs. 
Mr. Smita remarks that the specimen which produces these 
three cases grows poorly, perhaps in consequence of the property 
of the soil, and creates many defective branchlets. 
It deserves special attention that cohesion of leafmargins has 
been described a few years ago about Dichroa febrifuga Lour. 
belonging to the same family. Our draughtsman NaTaDIPOERA 
gave a fine figure of one of the then mentioned cases '). 
MYRTACEAE.
