along one side of tlie branches. Calyx-tube very short, the limb mem- 
branaceous, 1 mm long, obscurely 4-toothed. Corolla-tube about 15 mm 
long, cylindric, 3 mm in diameter, the outside with very few short 
appressed hairs ; lobes 4, spreading or recurved, imbricate, broadly elliptic- 
ovate, acute or blunt, 4 to 4.5 mm long. Stamens 4, the filaments very 
short, inserted above the middle of the tube; anthers linear, 6 m m long, 
included. Style in the male flowers about 4 mm long, 4-cleft, obscurely 
pubescent. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Tibucuy, For. Bur. 9Jf30 Whitford & 
Hutchinson, February, 1908, in forests at an altitude of about 20 m. 
The first species of the genus to be reported from the Philippines, allied to 
Greenea corymlosa (Jack) K. Sch., of Burma and the Malay Peninsula, but 
abundantly distinct. 
GREENIOPSIS gen. nov. 
Calycis tubus turbinatus; limbi lobi 5, subaequales, breves, sub- 
rotundati, corolla breviter infundibularis, fauce villosa; limbi lobi 5, 
breves, rotundati, in alabastro sinistrorsum contorto-imbricati. Stamina 
5, fauci corollae inserta, inclusa, filamentis brevibus ; antherae dorso supra 
basin affixae, ellipticae. Ovarium 2-loculare; stylus gracilis, lobis stig- 
matis brevibus, crassis; ovula in loculis plurima, in placentis septo 
longitudinaliter adnatis conferta. Capsula oblonga vel ovoidea, 2-locu- 
laris, septicide 2-valvis, coriacea. Semina numerosissima, elongata 
praecipue in nucleo reticulato-areolata. Arbores. Folia opposita, char- 
tacea vel subcoriacea, oblongo-obovata vel elliptico-obovata, petiolata. 
Stipulae amplae, deciduae, interpetiolares, acuminatae. Flores parvi. 
Inflorescentia terminalis, multiflora, cymis amplis, paniculatis, ramis 
ramulisque patulis. 
This proposed new genus is allied to Emmenopterys of southern China and to 
Mussaendiopsis of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo, but differs from 
both in none of its calyx lobes being accrescent, and from the latter also in its 
stamens inserted at the throat of the corolla-tube. It consists of two closely 
allied Philippine species, the following, the type of the genus, which has been 
previously referred to Greenea, species undetermined, and the plant described 
by Mr. Elmer as Mussaendiopsis multiflora. 
Greeniopsis philippininensis sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 10 m alta; foliis oblongo-obovatis vel elliptico-obovatis, 
subchartaceis, nitidis, 20 ad 30 cm longis, apice breviter acuminatis, basi 
augustatis, decurrento-acuminatis, nervis utrinque 15 ad 18, prominen- 
tibus, glabris vel junioribus subtus minus hirsutis; paniculis terminalibus, 
amplis, ramis ramulisque patentibus, circiter 20 cm longis; floribus 
breviter pedicellatis, albis, 4 ad 5 mm longis; capsulis ellipsoideis vel 
ovoideis, 4 mm longis, extus griseo-pubescentibus, septicide 2-valvatis, 
apice limbo persistente coronatis. 
A tree about 10 m high. Branches terete, reddish-brown, rugose, the 
younger branches reddish-brown, smooth, glabrous or sometimes hirsute.
