Mindanao, Butuan Subprovince, Veruela, C. M. Weber 1111, June, 1911, 
“common along streams, culms 10 m high, up to 5 cm in diameter.” 
The specimens are very complete, having leaves, culm-sheaths, and 
good flowers, and they all agree well with specimens of Schizostachyum 
brachycladum Kurz in my possession, especially with one of Kurz’s type 
sheets. The rounded, hard, shining culm sheaths with small, reflexed, 
fimbriate auricles and broadly ovate, cordate, sharply acuminate, short 
pseudophylls are very characteristic, as are the three, large, prominent 
lodicules and the obtuse anthers.
