In aspect this species resembles Breynia cernua Muell.-Arg., to which it 
is manifestly allied, from which it is easily distinguished, however, by the 
prominent indumentum on its branchlets, leaves, and calyces. In its in- 
dumentum it approaches Breynia ovalifolia J. J. Sm., of New Guinea, but 
is not closely allied to that species, differing in its much larger, differently 
shaped, more numerously nerved leaves, and its cup-shaped accrescent 
calyx. 
APOROSA Blume 
APOROSA SPHAERIDOPHORA Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 
76.' 
Amboina, Hitoe lama and Lateri, Rel. Robins. 17H, 1715, 1716, August, 
September, and October, 1913, in forests, altitude 100 to 200 meters, locally 
known as makarlasi and simbun api. 
One of the specimens has pistillate flowers, one very young fruits, and 
one mature or neai-ly mature fruits. While they are not absolutely identical 
with the type material of Aporosa sphaeridophora Merr. I can detect no 
constant differences which would warrant me in separating the Amboina 
form from the Philippine one. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines and also known from Java.
