xi, c, i Merrill: Plants from Sorsogon Province, Luzon 17 
Among the Philippine species with pinnate leaves this one is well 
characterized by its rather small, entire leaflets, its very large, brown- 
pubescent panicles, and sessile flowers.

Samar, Cuming 1680 (type number). Luzon, Province of Sorsogon, 
Bulusan Volcano, Bur. Sci. 23658 Ramos, September 6, 1915. 
This species was described from flowering specimens collected in about 
the year 1838, and has not appeared in our recent collections until the 
year 1915, when Ramos discovered it in Sorsogon Province. The recently 
collected material is in fruit, which enables me definitely to remove the 
species from Grewia and transfer it to Trichospermum. The capsules are 
2-valved, somewhat compressed, about 2 cm wide and 1 cm long, very 
broadly ovoid or somewhat reniform, slightly apiculate, clothed with long, 
brownish, shining, soft hairs. The species is very closely allied to Trichos- 
permum leytense Merr., the latter being distinguished especially by its 
somewhat pubescent leaves.
