3-nerved, the basal nerves reaching above the middle of the leaf, 
the margins dentate-crenulate ; lateral nerves above the basal 
pair about 4 on each side of the midrib, ascending, distinct. 
Glomerules of pistillate flowers mostly on the branches below the 
leaves in the axils of fallen leaves, depressed-globose, sessile, 5 to 
7 mm in diameter, densely many-flowered, the flowers green, the 
subtending bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, about 1 mm long, 
numerous. Perianth sparingly hirsute, membranaceous, the in- 
flated part surrounding the achenes about 1.4 mm long, abruptly 
contracted into a very slender, 1 mm long, hirsute tube closely 
investing the style, minutely and slenderly ’3-lobed at the apex. 
Achenes obliquely obovoid, slightly compressed, smooth, about 
1.2 mm long, the apex obtuse or rounded, base narrowed, acute; 
style slender, much-curved, 3 to 3.5 mm long. Staminate flowers 
not seen. 
Leyte, Dagarni, C. A. Wenzel 35, May 20, 1913, in forested foothills, 
altitude about 60 meters. 
Apparently a dioecious species, in its equilateral leaves and its much- 
curved styles strongly resembling such species of Cypholophus as C. lute- 
scens Wedd., and C. brunneolus Elm., diifering, however, from Cypholophus 
in its membranaceous perianths, long styles, and alternate leaves. It is 
manifestly allied to Boehmeria blumei Wedd. and B. heterophylla Wedd., 
but has always isomorphous alternate leaves which are not in the slightest 
degree inequilateral. 
PROCRIS Commerson 
PROCRIS DOLICHOPHYLLA sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens P. frutescens Bl, affinis, differt foliis majori- 
bus, usque ad 37 cm longis, nervis magis numerosis, utrinque 
circiter 15, folia abortiva oblonga, 2 cm longa, basi prominente 
cordata. 
A scandent plant 5 m in length, nearly glabrous, the stems 5 
m long, 3 cm in diameter, the branches stout, apparently some- 
what fleshy when fresh, grayish or dark-colored when dry. 
Leaves very unequal, the larger of each pair narrowly oblong-obo- 
vate to broadly oblong-oblanceolate, slightly falcate, chartaceous 
when dry, 30 to 37 cm long, 7 to 9 cm wide, slightly shining, 
when dry brown on the upper surface, much paler on the lower 
surface which is distinctly brown-furfuraceous on the midrib, 
nerves, and reticulations, cystoliths prominent on both surfaces, 
the apex abruptly short-acuminate, the base gradually narrowed, 
decurrent-acuminate, nearly equilateral; lateral nerves about 15 
on each side of the midrib, curved-ascending, prominent, the re- 
ticulations very lax, prominent; petioles 5 to 7 mm long; aborted 
leaves stipule-like, sessile, oblong to oblong-ovate, about 2 cm
