Mount Ugo, For. Bur. 15920 Bacani, Bur. Sci. 5727 Ramos. December, 1908. 
A species allied to Strobilanthes pluriformis Clarke, but distinguished from 
that and all other known Philippine forms in being strongly hirsute in all 
parts. 
RUBIACE2E. 
COPTOSAPELTA Korth. 
C. flavescens Korth. Ned. Kruid. Arch. 2 (1851) 113; Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. 2 
(18571 155; Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 3 (1880) 35; King & Gamble in Journ. As. 
Soc. Beng. 72- (1903) 138. 
Randia olaciformis Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 3 (1908) Bot. 163. 
Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley, Mrs. Clemens 1220. 
Randia olaciformis Merr. must be reduced to Coptosapelta flavescens Korth., 
a species extending from Burma to the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and 
Borneo, and the first representative of the genus to be found in the Philippines. 
Hooker f. gives Webera macrophylla Roxb. as a synonym of the above, which, if 
correctly reduced, would be the earliest specific name for the species. Roxburgh’s 
description, however, does not seem to me to apply to Coptosapelta flavescens 
Korth. 
DAMNACANTHUS Gaertn. 
Damnacanthus indicus Gaertn. f. Fruct, 3 (1805) 18, t. 182; DC. Prodr. 4 
(1830) 473; Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 3 (1880) 158; Forbes & Hemsl. in Journ. 
Linn. Soc. Bot. 23 (1888) 386. 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, Mount Banajao, For. Bur. 7856 Curran & Merritt, 
November, 1907, Bur. Sci. 21)32 Foxworthy, March, 1907, altitude 1,400-2,000 m. 
The first representative of the genus for the Philippines, an interesting 
addition to the continental element in the Philippine flora ; eastern Himalayan 
region to southern China and Japan. 
GREEN EA Wight & Arnott. 
Greenea longiflora sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, circiter 8 ra alta, ramulis petiolis foliis cymisque hirsutis ; 
foliis oblongo-eilipticis, papyraceis, 20 ad 30 cm longis, apice acntis vel 
obscure acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 15 ; cymis axillaribus, subscor-

15 cm longis, 4-meris. 
A small tree about 8 m high. Branches densely hirsute with long 
brownish hairs. Leaves papyraceous, oblong-elliptic, 20 to 30 cm long, 
10 to 12 cm wide, very sligthly shining, the lower surface somewhat paler 
than the upper, both surfaces with numerous spreading or appressed 
scattered hairs, those on the lower surface softer and paler than those 
on the upper; nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, distinct, the 
reticulations rather lax ; petioles densely hirsute, 2 to 1 cm long ; stipules 
membranaceous, caducous, oblong, about 4 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, 
rounded or obtuse at the apex, hirsute. Cymes axillary, peduncled, 9 
cm long or less, hirsute, the branches few. Blowers sessile, arranged
