This species is reported from Negros and Panay by Usteri, Imt I have seen 
no Pliilippine specimens to which Schumann’s description applies. The species 
is known from New Guinea and doubtfully from Celebes. 
(12) Premna subglabra Merrill sp. nov. 
A tree 7 to 12 m. liigli. liecoming nearly glabrous, tire slightly pubescent 
calyces obscurely 2-lipped, one lip entire or very obscurely 2 to 3 toothed, 
the other 2-toothed. Branches light gray or brown, glabrous, terete, the 
branchlets reddish brown, obscurely angled, deeiduously short-pubescent, 
becoming glabrous or nearly so. Leaves ovate to oblong-ovate, char- 
taceoifs, entire, short acuminate, the base broad, rounded, subtruncate to 
somewhat cordate, or sometimes acute, shining, glabrous above except 
the somewhat pubescent midrib and nerves, paler beneath, obscurely 
minutely glandular punctate, glabrous, or the nerves and midrib very 
slightly pubescent, the axils sometimes barbellate; nerves prominent 
beneath, ascending, 6 to 7 on each side of the midrib, the reticulations 
distinct; petioles 2 to 7 cm. long, usually pubescent on the upper surface, 
otherwise glabrous. Corymbs terminal, spreading, many flowered, 9 to 
14 cm. long, 10 to 20 cm. wide, more or less ferruginous pubescent 
throughout, the rfltimate branchlets rather densely so, the bracts linear, 
5 to 8 mm. long, the bracteoles similar but fnuch smaller. FloAvers 
greenish. Calyx slightly pubescent, becoming glabrous, cup-shaped, 2 
mm. long. Corolla 5.5 to 6 mm. long, glabrous outside, villous within, 
2-lipped, one lip short, entire or retuse, the other 3-lobed, the middle 
lobe much exceeding the lateral ones. Stamens slightly exceeding the 
corolla lobes; filaments villous below; anthers about 0.6 mm. long. 
Ovary glabrous ; style 4 to 5 mm. long. Fruit globose, dark purple when 
mature, glabrous, about 3 mm. in diameter.

An erect branched lierlf 1 to 2 m. high, more or less glandular fer- 
ruginous puberulent, with long petioled, ovate to olilong-ovate, rather

white to purple, often 2 cm. long. Branches brown when dry, densely 
glandular puberulent to nearly glabrous. Leaves membranous, 4 to 15
