Hab. Majaijai Mountains, Luzon. 



A very imperfect fruiting specimen, which on comparison proved 

 to belong to the same species as No. 1897 of Cuming's Philippine 

 collection, which so far as I can determine is undescribed. The plant 

 is probably erect, from a perennial root: it is glabrate; but the young 

 parts, especially the petioles and the veins of the leaves beneath, are 

 more or less ferrugineous-hirsute. Leaves long-petioled, elongated, 

 half-cordate or half-sagittate, with the basal portion rounded, above 

 tapering into a slender acumination, unequally and coarsely-toothed 

 around the whole outer margin and above the middle of the other 

 edge, also denticidate, 5 or 6 inches long, an inch or two in width, 

 paler beneath, punctate. Capsule elliptical, 7 or 8 lines long, very 

 smooth, almost equally three-ioinged ; the wings complete from the base 

 to the apex, even, 2 or 3 lines broad.

B. repens? glaberrima; ramis gracilibus; foliis fere cequilateris ovato-
