CYCLOSTEMON CALC1COLA sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, 5 ad 8 m alta ; foliis coriaceis in siccitate brun- 
neo-olivaceis, nitidis, oblongis, inaequilateralibus, usque ad 12 
cm longis, acuminatis, basi acutis, margine integris vel leviter 
undulato-crenatis, nervis utrinque circiter 12, indistinctis ; fruc- 
tibus axillaribus, solitariis vel fasciculatis, pedunculatis, ellip- 
soideis, in siccitate reticulatis, nitidis, 10 ad 12 mm longis. 
A glabrous tree 5 to 8 m high. Branches slender, terete, light- 
gray, lenticellate. Leaves coriaceous or subcoriaceous, oblong, 
7 to 12 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, inequilateral, straight or very 
slightly falcate, one side distinctly narrower then the other, 
always acute at the base, the wider side either acute or rounded 
at the base, apex rather prominently acuminate, the acumen 
blunt, margins entire or obscurely undulate-crenate, when dry 
shining on both surfaces, brownish-olivaceous; lateral nerves 
about 12 on each side of the midrib, slender, anastomosing, not 
prominent, the ultimate reticulations rather dense; petioles 5 
to 7 mm long. Flowers not seen. Fruit axillary, greenish-red 
and smooth when fresh, when dry dark-brown, shining, wrinkled, 
glabrous, ellipsoid, 10 to 12 mm long, solitary or fascicled, 
1- celled, the peduncles about 3 mm long. 
Palawan, Taytay Bay, on the small limestone island known as Apulit, 
Merrill 9^27, 9J,30 (type) , May 31, 1913, in dry thickets in crevices and 
ravines, steep slopes, altitude about 10 m above sea level. 
This species does not appear to be closely allied to any other Philippine 
form. It is characterized by its ellipsoid, 1-celled fruits which are quite 
glabrous, wrinkled, and shining - when dry, and by its rather obscurely 
nerved leaves. 
CYCLOSTEMON GLOBOSUS sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor parva, glabra; foliis charactaceis vel sub- 
coriaceis, ovatis ad oblongo-ovatis, acutis, circiter 5 cm longis, 
integris, nitidis, basi rotundatis, equilateralibus vel leviter in- 
aequilateralibus, nervis utrinque circiter 6, tenuibus; fructibus 
globosis, glabris, 9 ad 12 mm diametro, breviter pedunculatis, 
2- locellatis. 
A shrub or small tree, quite glabrous, or the petioles minutely 
puberulent. Branches slender, terete, cinereous or light-gray, 
lenticellate, the branchlets very slender, dark-brown, more pro- 
minently lenticellate. Leaves ovate to oblong-ovate, chartaceous 
to subcoriaceous, rather dark-colored when dry, uniform in color 
and shining on both surfaces, the apex acute, margins entire, 
base rounded, equilateral or slightly inequilateral ; lateral nerves 
about 6 on each side of the midrib, slender, equally prominent 
on both surfaces, the reticulations rather close, distinct; petioles
