MERRILL. 
For. Bur. 8868 Curran: Province of Bulacan, For. Bur. 7200 Curran: Province of 
Camarines Sur, Ahern 218. Negros, For. Bur. 7309 Everett. 
The type of this species is Cuming 1762, from the island of Cebu. F.-Villar 
erroneously reduces to it Cnestis volubilis Blanco, which appears to me to be 
referable to Rourea, rather than to Connarus. 
Endemic.

Frutex scandens inflorescentiis exceptis glaber; foliis imparipinnatis, 
12 ad 20 cm longis, foliolis 5, oblongo-ovatis vel elliptico-ovatis, sub- 
coriaceis, nitidis, basi acutis vel subrotundatis, apice subeaudato-acumi- 
natis, utrinque pins minus glanduloso-punctatis, nervis utroque latere 5 
ad 7, subtus prominentibus, ascendentibus ; sepalis petalisque pubescen- 
tibus; staminibus 10, inaeqnalibns, filamentis pubescentibus ; carpellis 
ellipsoideis, pubescentibus, stylo 4 mm longo; folliculis anguste eylindra- 
ceis, leviter falcatis vel rectis, basi angustatis, apice acutis, extus glabris, 
leviter longitudinaliter striatis, intus villosis, circiter 4 cm longis. 
A scandent shrub, glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches brown, 
lenticellate. Leaves odd-pinnate, alternate, 12 to 20 cm long, the leaflets 
5, oblong-ovate to elliptic-ovate, subcoriaceous, base - rounded or acute, 
apex subcaudate-acuminate, acumen obtuse, 6 to 10 cm long, 3 to 4 
cm wide, shining, both surfaces rather prominently and densely glandular- 
punctate ; nerves 5 to 7 on each side of the midrib, rather distinct beneath, 
ascending, curved, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations rather fine 
and dense; petiolules 2 to 3 mm long. Panicles terminal and axillary, 
pubescent, somewhat diffuse, many flowered, about 10 cm long, the 
peduncle and rachis stout. Sepals ovate-lanceolate, pubescent. Petals 
narrowly oblong, about 6 mm long, 1.5 to 2 mm wide, pubescent, glan- 
dular-dotted. Stamens 10, alternating long and short, the filaments 
slightly pubescent. Carpel 1, pubescent; style stout, pubescent, 4 mm 
long. Follicle narrowly cylindric, slightly falcate or straight, base 
narrowed, apex acute, about 4 cm long, less than 1 cm thick, coriaceous, 
outside glabrous and, at least when young, slightly longitudinally striate, 
villous inside. Seed immature, arillate. 
Basilan, Eallier s. n., January, 1904. 
A species closely allied to Connarus monocarpus Linn., but distinct. Elmer 
7268 is very closely allied if not identical. 
8. Connarus m indanaensis -sp. nov. 
Scandens, inflorescentiis exceptis glaber; foliis imparipinnatis, usque 
ad 25 cm longis, foliolis 5, ovato-ellipticis vel oblongo-ellipticis, subco- 
riaceis, nitidis, basi acutis vel subacutis, rariter subrotundatis, apice valde 
acuminatis, nervis utrinque 4 vel 5, ascendentibus, subtus prominentibus; 
paniculis axillaribus terminalibusque, ferrugineo-pubescentibus, folia 
subaequantibus, mul till oris ; sepalis petalisque glanduloso-punctatis, sub- 
aequalibus; staminibus 10; carpellis anguste ovoideis, dense pubescenti- 
bus; folliculis aurantiacis, 2.5 cm longis, firmiter coriaceis, nitidis, 
inflatis, extus glabris, vix striatis, intus tomentosis.
