obscurely stellate hairs, each with a broadly ovate, ferruginous- 
pubescent, 3 to 4 mm long bract at or below the middle. Sepals 
reniform, coriaceous, about 6 mm long, 9 mm wide, externally 
cinereous-pubescent. Petals coriaceous, densely cinereous-pu- 
bescent on both surfaces, the outer three broadly ovate, obtuse, 
about 2.5 cm long, 2 cm wide, the inner three somewhat smaller. 
Anthers very numerous, linear-oblong, 3.5 to 4 mm long, the con- 
nectives rounded-truncate, not oblique, very slightly produced. 
Carpels many, linear-oblong, glabrous, including the stigma 3 
mm long; ovules few.

This species is manifestly allied to Uvaria leytensis (Elm.) 
Merr., from which it is readily distinguished by its distinctly 
cordate leaves and its cinereous-puberulent flowers. 
UVARIA MACGREGORII sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, inflorescentiis exceptis glaber; foliis char- 
taceis, oblongo-ovatis et ovato-ellipticis, usque ad 12 cm longis, 
griseo-olivaceis, apice obtusis, basi rotundatis et plerumque levi- 
ter cordatis, nervis tenuibus, utrinque circiter 10; floribus cir- 
citer 2 cm diametro, rubro-brunneis ; sepalis margine ferrugineo- 
pubescentibus ; petalis late ovatis, circiter 1 cm longis, margine 
ferrugineo-pubescentibus ceteroquin glabris; carpellis anguste 
oblongis, glabris. 
A scandent shrub, glabrous except the axillary buds on the 
young branchlets, and parts of the inflorescences. Leaves flrmly 
chartaceous, oblong-ovate to ovate-elliptic, 8 to 12 cm long, 3.5 to 
6 cm wide, glabrous on both surfaces, grayish-olivaceous when 
dry, slightly shining, somewhat narrowed upward to the obtuse 
apex, base broadly rounded and usually slightly cordate ; lateral 
nerves slender, not prominent, about 10 on each side of the mid- 
rib, anastomosing ; petioles 5 mm long, black when dry, glabrous. 
Flowers dark reddish-brown, about 2 cm in diameter (somewhat 
immature) in short, usually 2-flowered, leaf -opposed inflores- 
cences, the peduncles 3 mm long or less, the pedicels 5 to 10 mm 
long, rugose when dry, the subtending bracts oblong, 3 to 4 mm 
long, the bracts and pedicels with few, scattered, ferruginous 
hairs, the latter soon becoming glabrous. Sepals broadly ovate 
to reniform, about 4 mm long, rounded or subacute, coriaceous, 
rugose when dry, their margins ferruginous-pubescent. Petals 
broadly ovate about 1 cm long, obtuse to subacute, densely fer- 
ruginous-pubescent on the margins and toward the tip, otherwise 
glabrous. Anthers numerous, narrowly oblong, 1.5 mm long, 
the connectives oblique, slightly produced. Carpels numerous.
