which are up to 15 cm in length and 2.5 to 4 cm wide, and especially in its 
more numerous lateral nerves which are impressed on the upper surface, 
very prominent beneath and arched-anastomosing; there are 10 to 12 
pairs of lateral nerves, while in G. marivelense Merr. there are but 6 or 7 
pairs which are not impressed on the upper surface and not very prominent 
on the lower surface.

EUONYMUS Linnaeus 
EUONYMUS ELMERI nom. nov. 
Euonymus alatus Elm. Lead. Philip. Bot. 4 (1912) 1484, non Regel. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Mount Cadig, Bur. Sci. 25^36 Yates, December, 
1916. 
This species was originally described from specimens collected on Si- 
buyan Island, and is known only from the original collections, Elmer 12256, 
12U85, and the specimen cited above. Elmer 13095 from Palawan, distri- 
buted as E. alatus Elm., of which I have seen only leaf specimens, is 
Glyptopetalum remotinovium Merr. 
PLEUROSTYLIA Wight 
PLEUROSTYLIA WIGHTII W. & A. Prodr. (1834) 157, var, NEOCALE- 
DONICA Loesen. 
Luzon, Batangas Province, Mount Batulao, Bur. Sci. 22350 Ramos, July 
27, 1914, on dry hills. 
The specimen is an exact match for New Caledonian material, Balansa. 
570, Hennecart s. n., representing the variety named by Loesener ; I have 
not seen the description of this variety. Both the New Caledonian material 
and the Luzon specimen are distinctly different from typical Ceylon material 
of Pleurostylia wightii W. & A. The genus is new to the Philippines.
