Sumatra, and Borneo. As that species is described, however, the Phil-

in pairs. Comparison with authentic material may, however, show them 
to be identical.

ROUREA UNIFOLIOLATA sp. nov. 
Species R. volubilis (Blanco) Merr. affinis, difFert foliis omni- 
bus unifoliolatis, foliolis majoribus, longe subcaudato-acuminatis, 
inflorescentiis laxioribus. 
A woody vine reaching a height of 20 m and a diameter of 4 
cm, quite glabrous. Branches brown, shining, terete, slightly 
wrinkled when dry. Leaves alternate, simple, subcoriaceous, pale 
and strongly shining on both surfaces when dry, oblong-ovate, 
9 to 15 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, the apex long and rather slenderly 
subcaudate-acuminate, the acumen blunt, up to 2 cm long, the 
base somewhat narrowed and acute or somewhat obtuse; lateral 
nerves 4 or 5 on each side of the midrib, curved-ascending, 
slender, distinct, anastomosing, the reticulations slender, dis- 
tinct, the lower two pairs of nerves leaving the midrib near 
the base, the others distant; petioles 2 to 5 cm long, jointed 
to the 5 mm long petiolule of the solitary leaflet. Panicles axil- 
lary, fascicled, up to 11 cm long, the shorter ones sometimes 
reduced to racemes. Flowers white or pink. Sepals ovate, acute 
or somewhat acuminate, 3.5 to 4 mm long, their margins very
