corolla as glabrous, but we found it distinctly puberulous, also 

 in the authentical specimen.

 Merrill. Gov. Lab. Bull. no. 35, 64 (1905). - A shrub, 

 branchlets glabrous; leaves membranous, lanceolate or 

 ovate-lanceolate, shortly acuminate at apex, acute at base; 

 margins entire; base 3-nerved; both surfaces glabrous; 

 pairs of nerves 7; 13—20 by 3—8 cM.; pet'ioles 2—8 

 cM.; panicles terminal, many-flowered, crowded, minutely 

 and sparsely pubescent, ultimate branchlets 3-flowered; 

 bracts and bracteoles subulate, 0.1— 0.3 cM.; ca/yx minu- 

 tely and sparsely puberulous, funnel-shaped, 0.5 cM.; 

 lobes deltoid, 0.15 cM.; corolla 3 cM. long, the tube 

 puberulous below; lobes spreading, oblong, obtuse or 

 acute, 0.6 by 0.2 cM.; stamens 0.6 cM- exsert; anthers 

 0.2 cM.; ovary globose, glabrous. 



Distribution: Mindoro, Semirara-isl. 



Its affinity is with C. Navesianum but its corolla-tube is 

 much shorter. 



69. C. Klemmei Elmer, Leafl. Phil. Bot. II, 514 (1908). - 

 A tree; branchlets glabrous; leaves lanceolate or oblong, 

 rather variable in shape, base acute, apex usually acu- 

 minate; submembranous ; both sides glabrous, pairs of 

 nerves 5—7; 12 by 4 cM., petioles glabrous, 1—3 cM. 

 long; panicles terminal, glabrous or nearly so; peduncles 

 4—7 cM.; bracts linear, 0.5 cM.; pedicels 0.5—0.8 cM., 

 puberulous, usually with 2 bracteoles; calyx 0.4 cM., 

 glabrous; lobes acute, 0.15 cM. ; corolla glabrous; tube 

 6 cM.; lobes 0.5—0.7 by 0.3 cM.; stamens 1 cM. exsert; 

 anthers 25 cM.; stigma subclavate; ovary glabrous; 

 drupe 1.3 cM. long. 1 cM" in diam. 



Distribution: Luzon. 



It is allied to C. mindorense, but the leaves are smaller, the 

 panicles larger, and the corolla-tube is twice as long.
