The eleventh paper of this series is essentially like its pred- 
ecessors. 2 3 It consists of the descriptions of 90 new species of 
Philippine plants in the families Chloranthaceae, Aristolochia- 
ceae, Saxifragacme, Cunoniaceae, Leguminosae, Simarubaceae, 
Burseraceae, Anacardiaceae, Sabiaceae, Rhamnaceae, Elaeo- 
cai'paceae, Begoniaceae, Ericaceae, Sapotaceae, Apocynaceae, 
Verbenaceae, and Gesneriaceae. About 12 previously described 
species are for the first time credited to the Archipelago, making 
the total number of additions to the Philippine flora, recorded 
in this paper, approximately 100. Genera recorded from the 
Archipelago for the first time are Aquilaria, Koompassia, Meli- 
lotus, Neptunia, Cymodocea, Diplanthera, Hanguana, Urceola, 
Vallaris, and Protium. A few reductions are made and a few 
changes in nomenclature are recorded as such changes have 
been indicated by the rules of the international code of botanical 
nomenclature.
