fascicled at the tips of the branchlets, about 8 in a fascicle, 
their pedicels about 4 mm long. Fruits somewhat obovoid, 
brown when dry, smooth, not at all sulcate, about 5 mm long, 
the pyrenes plano-convex, smooth, not at all sulcate or ridged, 
seeds ruminate.

The alliance of this species is with Psychotria euphlebia Merr., but 
with quite differently shaped, fewer nerved leaves. In facies it resembles 
Psychotria mindanaensis Merr., but the inflorescence is entirely different 
from that species. It is well characterized by its elongated, lanceolate 
leaves and its flowers and fruits borne in terminal fascicles. 
GRUMILEA ISAROGENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex glaber; foliis oblongo-ellipticis ad lanceolato-ellipticis, 
chartaceis, usque ad 9 cm longis, utrinque subaequaliter angus- 
tatis, apice acuminatis, basi cuneatis, nervis utrinque circiter 8, 
distantibus, tenuibus; inflorescentiis 2 ad 3 cm longis, pauci- 
floris, laxis; fructibus obovoideis, non sulcatis, 7 mm longis, 
albumine ruminato. 
A glabrous shrub 2 to 3 m high, the branches and branchlets 
slender, grayish or brownish, wrinkled when dry. Leaves firmly 
chartaceous, oblong-elliptic to lanceolate-elliptic, 7 to 9 cm long, 
1.6 to 2.2 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the somewhat acum- 
inate apex and to the cuneate base, dull-olivaceous when dry, of 
nearly the same color on both surfaces; lateral nerves about 8 
on each side of the midrib, distant, slender, obscurely anastomos- 
ing, the reticulations lax, obscure; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long; 
stipules lanceolate, caducous, 8 mm long. Inflorescence a ter- 
minal, lax, few-flowered, 2 to 3 cm long panicle. Fruits few, 
3 to 6 on each inflorescence, their peduncles 7 to 9 mm long, 
the fruits obovoid, smooth, not sulcate, 7 mm long, 5 mm in 
diameter, the apex rounded, calyx-tube not persistent, base 
acute; pyrenes plano-convex, quite smooth, not at all sulcate or 
ridged, seeds ruminate.

A species manifestly allied to Grumilea acuminatissima (Elm.) Merr. 
and to G. loheri (Elm.) Merr., but apparently sufficiently distinct from both. 
GRUMILEA LANAENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens inflorescentiis exceptis glaber; foliis charta- 
ceis vel subcoriaceis, ellipticis ad oblongo-ellipticis, usque ad 5 
cm longis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, basi acutis, apice 
breviter acuminatis, nervis utrinque 6 vel 7, obscuris, reticulis
