VALLARIS DARONENSIS (Elmer) comb. nov. 
Holarrhena daronensis Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 4 (1912) 1455. 
Mindanao, District of Davao, Elmer 11912 (type number), in fruit, 
October, 1909: District of Lanao, Camp Keithley, Mrs. Clemens s. n., May, 
1907, with young flowers: Province of Misamis, Quadras 100, from Tali- 
sayan, locally known as pamacoton. 
This species is in all respects a Vallaris, not a Holarrhena, and is 
accordingly transferred to the former genus; it is closely allied to Val- 
laris gitingensis (Elmer) Merr., but has broader, more prominently nerved 
leaves and apparently somewhat larger flowers. 
VALLARIS GITINGENSIS (Elmer) comb. nov. 
Kickxia gitingensis Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 4 (1912, March 18) 1455. 
Vallaris angustifolia Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 7 (1912, November 
15) Bot. 335. 
The name proposed by Mr. Elmer, sub Kickxia, has priority over that 
used by me, sub Vallaris, the latter being the proper genus as the anthers 
are exserted, not included in the corolla tube. Mr. Elmer’s specific name 
is accordingly adopted, transferred to Kickxia, and K. angustifolia Merr. 
reduced as a synonym. The two are identical in all respects. Vallaris 
gitingensis is represented by the following material: 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, Paete, Holman 8, April, 1910; Nangaiby, 
For. Bur. 20175 Manuel, September, 1913 (sterile): Province of Tayabas, 
Lucban, Bur. Sci. 19537 Ramos, January, 1913, in fruit: Province of Sor- 
sogon, For. Bur. 10507 Curran, June, 1908, For. Bur. 15077 Rosenbluth, 
April, 1909 (type of V. angustifolia Merr.). Sibuyan, Elmer 12203, April, 
1910 (type number of Kickxia gitingensis Elmer). Leyte, Wenzel 652, 
678, May, 1914. Some of the material* has been distributed as Vallaris 
holmanii Merr., but I consider now that but a single species is represented. 
The follicles are in pairs, about 20 cm long, 5 mm in diameter, nar- 
rowed at both ends, straight or slightly curved; seeds linear-lanceolate, 
about 2 cm long, the coma plumose, the hairs very soft, pale-brownish, 
abundant, 5 to 6 cm long.
