the more intricate cases of the kind originating in nearly related regions, 
we escape none. Through the kindness of the Director of. Agriculture, 
Buitenzorg, Java, and of Mr. W. W. Smith, of the Royal Botanic Gardens. 
Calcutta, I have been able to make many direct comparisons between 
Philippine and other material: this with the literature available has 
led to the conclusion that a high percentage of our species are endemic, 
but this endemism in somewhat curiously, distributed between the genera 
that are here represented by several or by few species, some of the latter 
being considered monotypic. None of our genera are endemic, of those 
here proposed as new, Astrothalamus being also found in Borneo and the 
Marianne Islands, Elatostematoides probably ranging throughout Malaya.
