ADDITIONAL PHILIPPINE SYMPLOCACE^E, I. 
By A. Bkand. 
(Frankfurt a. d. Oder, Germany.) 
Among the Symplocos material collected in the Philippines during 
the years 1907 and 1908, submitted to me by Mr. E. D. Merrill for 
identification, I have found no less than five new species and one new 
variety, so that the number of Philippine species of the genus known to 
me has now been increased to twenty-one. 1 Two of the species previously 
described, 8. floridissima and S. Gumingiana , have been rediscovered 
for the first time by the American botanists. The new species all belong 
to the section Bobua, and accordingly the key to the species given in my 
previous paper 2 must be changed as follows : 
1. Inflorescentiae eompositae. 
2. Folia ramis adpressa, imbricata - - 3. 8. imbricata 
2. Folia patentia, hand imbricata. 
3. Corolla extus sericea. 
4. Stamina ea. 100; folia basi valde angustata 4. 8. patens 
4. Stamina ca. 60; folia basi plerumque rotundata 5. 8 . floridissima 
3. Corolla extus glabra. 
4. Stamina ca. 100 6. 8. polyandra 
4. Stamina 25-50. 
5. Inflorescentiae glabrae - — 7. 8. Hutchinsonii 
5. Inflorescentiae pilosae. 
6. Fructus globosus. 
7. Inflorescentiae axillares 8. 8. ferruginea 
7. Inflorescentiae terminales 9. 8. Ahernii 
6. Fructus ellipsoideus 10. 8. adenopliylla 
1 Three species, Symplocos fragrans, 8. curtiflora, and 8. angularis, recently 
described by Mr. Elmer in his Leaflets of Philippine Botany, 2 (1908) 508-510, 
are at present known to me only by description.
