WENDLANDIA Bartling 
WENDLANDIA WILLIAMSII sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, inflorescentiis densissime villoso-tomentosis ; 
foliis amplis, chartaceis, circiter 27 cm longis, breviter abrupte 
acuminatis, basi decurrento-acuminatis, subtus plus minusve 
pubescentibus, nervis utrinque circiter 15 ; paniculis folia subae- 
quilongis, pyramidatis, multifloris; floribus numerosis, 8 mm 
longis. 
A small tree, the branches brownish, glabrous, the branchlets 
somewhat pubescent. Leaves subelliptic, chartaceous, brownish 
when dry, about 27 cm long, 15 cm wide, the apex shortly and 
rather abruptly acuminate, base decurrent-acuminate, the upper 
surface somewhat pubescent along the midrib, otherwise with 
scattered hairs, the lower surface rather uniformly pubescent 
with somewhat scattered hairs; petioles stout, 2 to 3 cm long; 
lateral nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, rather prom- 
inent; stipules reniform, at least 1 cm wide. Panicles terminal, 
pyramidal, about as long as the leaves, very many flowered, the 
lower branches 20 cm long, all parts densely villous-tomentose 
with pale or pale-brown hairs, the younger branchlets very 
densely so. Flowers white, numerous, somewhat crowded on 
the branchlets, 8 mm long, the calyx densely tomentose, the 
teeth acute. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Sax River, Williams 2084, Feb. 1, 
1905, altitude about 130 meters. Probably referable to the same species 
are Williams 2341 and Ahern 564, from the same district. 
Probably most closely allied to the Javan Wendlandia rufescens Miq., 
but the flowers on our material are much longer than those on Javan 
specimens which are apparently authentically named.

NAUCLEA BERNARDOI sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra 12 ad 20 m alta ; foliis coriaceis, usque ad 12 cm 
longis, ellipticis ad oblongo-obovatis, in siccitate brunneis, nitidis, 
nervis utrinque circiter 10, subtus prominentibus ; inflorescentiis 
terminalibus, paniculatis, 6 ad 10 cm longis, capitulis 9 vel 11, 
pedunculatis, sub anthesis circiter 1.5 cm diametro. 
A glabrous tree 12 to 20 m high, the branches terete, light- 
gray. Leaves thickly coriaceous, when dry brown, brittle, ellip- 
tic to oblong-obovate, 9 to 12 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, somewhat 
acuminate, base acute, when dry usually dark-brown, somewhat 
shining, the lower surface paler then the upper; lateral nerves 
10 on each side of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing, the 
reticulations subparallel, lax, slender; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long;
