No species of this IMalaj'an genus has previously been reported from tb(‘ 
Philippines, the aliove specimens ditlering from Monophyllea- lowei in its some- 
what smaller leaves, but I am unable to separate it by other characters, the 
oi'iginal description of Clarke’s species being rather .short. Porneo.
