2 cm in length, glabrous or nearly so. Calyx somewhat inflated, 
1.2 to 1.4 cm long, 5-lobed, the lobes oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, 
about 6 mm long. 
Catanduanes, Bur. Sci. 30353 Ramos, December 10, 1917, climbing on 
tree trunks in forests at low altitudes, near Calolbong. 
This species, among numerous other distinctive characters, can readily 
be recognized by its very greatly elongated petioles. 
CYRTANDRA TENUIPES nom. nov. 
Cyrtandra longipedunculata Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 10 (1915) 
Bot. 77, non Rechinger, 1908. 
A new name is necessary for the Luzon form I described in 1915, as 
the specific name had already been utilized by Rechinger in 1908 for a 
Samoan species.

DISCHIDIA R. Brown 
DISCHIDIA LANCI FOLIA sp. nov. 
Species D. merrillii affinis, differt foliis lanceolatis, usque ad 
8 cm longis et 1 cm latis, tenuiter acuminatis, in siccitate utrin- 
que rugosis sed haud reticulatis. 
A slender glabrous vine, the branches terete, grayish, about 1 
mm in diameter. Leaves lanceolate, apparently fleshy when 
fresh, when dry coriaceous, pale-greenish, somewhat shining, 
wrinkled on both surfaces but not reticulate, the lateral nerves 
obsolete, 5 to 8 cm long, 8 to 10 mm wide, narrowed below to the 
acute or somewhat obtuse base and above to the slenderly acu- 
minate apex; petioles about 5 mm long. Peduncles axillary, 
solitary, 1 cm long or less, few-flowered, the flowers subumbel- 
lately arranged at the apex of the peduncle, reddish, about 7 mm 
long, their pedicels 2 to 3 mm in length. Corolla-tube somewhat 
inflated below, narrowed above, at the most 3 mm wide when 
flattened. Follicles slender, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, about 
3 mm long and 3 mm in diameter. 
Catanduanes, back of Calolbong, Bur. Sci. S037U Ramos, December 10, 
1917, on tree trunks in damp forests at low altitudes. 
A species well characterized by its lanceolate leaves, manifestly allied 
to Dischidia merrillii Schltr., but at once distinguished by the characters 
indicated in the diagnosis.
