eye ; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, prominent, some- 
what ascending, nearly straight, anastomosing near the margin, the reticu- 
lations distinct on the- lower surface ; petiolules about 1 cm long. 
Inflorescence axillary, brown-pubescent, the stipe about 1 cm long, very 
stout, bearing about 4 primary branches 5 to 6 cm long, branched near 
the apex, and bearing numerous, subsessile, congested, white flowers. 
Calyx 4 to 5 mm long, slightly pubescent, brown when dry, 4-toothed, 
the teeth broadly, ovate, 1.5 to 2 mm long, with few scattered glands. 
Corolla 6 mm long, the lobes 4, reflexed in anthesis, oblong, 3 mm long.

tember 25, 1909, in forests, altitude about 700. m. 
A most distinct species, well characterized' by its prominently glandular 
leaflets, but especially by its 4-merous flowers, in the latter character differing 
from all species of the genus known to me.

Widely distributed in the Tropics. 
This is probably* the form credited to the Philippines by F.-Villar 2 as A. 
graveolens W. & A. If the forms described as Abutilon graveolens W. & A., and 
A. hirtum (Lam.) G. Don, are varietally distinct, as several authors consider 
them, it is believed that the specific name should be that of the one first described.
