Prineesa. 
Tliis species resembles Vidal No. 3401, an nndescribed Philippine .species, in 
wliicli, liowever, the involucres are about 8 inin. long, hardly half the length of 
those of H. Palawanensis.

rotundatis, 5 mm. longis, jiroventn vix imbricatis, densins breviter villosis. 
Loaf blades 18 by 8 cm., narrowed at either end, snbglabrons; petioles

RUELLIA Linn. 
Ruelia (?) nudispica sp. nov. 
Subacaulis, foliis 1 d-m. longis, 4 cm. latis, oblongo-ellipticis, perobtusis, 
pilosnlis; petiolo 8 mm. longo; pedunculo 5-8 cm. longo; spica 2-3 cm. 
longa, 6-flora; bracteis 2-4 mm. longis, lanceolatis; corolla 12 mm. longa; 
capsula 2 cm. longa, lineari-oblouga; seminibus 16-20, in margine dense 
liygroscopice villosis. 
Stamens 4. Anther cells 2, divergent at the base, not tailed. Pollen 
globose. I had but one withered flower and obtained a very few imperfect 
pollen grains. The inflorescence does not suit Euellia. The plant must, 
however, come into this group, as the seed with h}'groscopic hairs will 
not do for Gymnostachyiim.
