SERTULUM BONTOCENSE. 
89 
According to Gagnepain’s recent treatment of this genus the species 
above described is allied to Tetrastigma crassipes Planch., and to T. 
pedunculare Planch., although apparently not very close to either. It is 
dedicated to Father Jules Sepulchre, Father Vanoverbergh’s colleague and 
companion at Banco and founder of the mission at that place whose recent 
sudden death is greatly deplored. 
TILIACEAE. 
GREWIA L. 
Grewia setacea sp. nov. § Eugrewia. 
Arbor parva, omnibus partibus plus minusve simpliciter vel 
admodum stellato-pilosis, partibus junioribus ferrugineis; foliis 
oblongis vel oblongo-ovatis, acutis vel breviter acuminatis, basi 
obtusis vel rotundatis, aequilateralibus, trinerviis, margine cre- 
nato-denticulatis ; stipulis setaceis; inflorescentiis axillaribus, 
solitariis, umbellatis; floribus bracteatis, circiter 9 mm longis, 
petalis 2 mm longis, ciliatis. 
A small tree, all parts more or less pilose or pubescent with 
simple or somewhat stellately-arranged hairs, the young shoots 
and leaves rather densely ferruginous-pilose, the older parts 
with scattered hairs. Branches terete, dark-colored, somewhat 
pubescent. Leaves oblong to oblong-ovate, firmly chartaceous or 
subcoriaceous, 5 to 8 cm long, 2 to 3.5 cm wide, equilateral, some- 
what shining when dry, slightly paler beneath, the apex acute or 
shortly acuminate, the base obtuse or rounded, margins rather 
finely and uniformly crenate-serrate, the upper surface pubes- 
cent on the midrib and nerves, the lower surface with simple 
or stellate, more or less scattered, pilose hairs on the nerves and 
reticulations; basal nerves extending above the middle of the 
leaf, the lateral ones above the basal pair about 4 on each side 
of the midrib, ascending, prominent beneath; petioles densely 
pubescent, 5 to 8 mm long; stipules setaceous, somewhat pubes- 
cent, about 1 cm long. Inflorescence of axillary umbels, solitary 
or in pairs, stellate-pubescent, the flowers few, usually about 
three, their pedicels subtended by a whorl of linear-lanceolate, 
acuminate, 5 to 7 mm long, slightly pubescent bracteoles, the 
pedicels 4 to 7 mm long, the peduncles usually about 1.5 cm in 
length. Sepals oblong, obtuse, pubescent, about 9 mm long, 
2 to 2.2 mm wide. Petals elliptic-oblong or ovate-elliptic, dis- 
tinctly ciliate-pilose, about 2 mm long, 1.5 mm wide. Stamens 
1 mm long or less; anthers subglobose (perfect?), 0.2 mm long. 
Ovary villous; style glabrous, 3 mm long, cleft above. Drupe 
black when dry, somewhat pubescent, ultimately nearly glabrous.
