Oxymitra paucinervis Merrill sp. nov. 
Foliis oblongis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, acuminatis, basi rotundis vel 
acutis, nervis utrinque ca. 8, valde obliquis; floribns axillaribus, 5.5 
cm longis. 
A scandent shrub, the branches terete, dark-brown, slender, glabrous, 
the branchlets densely ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves oblong to oblong- 
lanceolate, subcoriaceous, 7 to 14 cm long, 2 to 4.5 cm wide, not or but 
slightly narrowed toward the rounded, rarely acute base, the apex acu- 
minate, glabrous above except the somewhat pubescent midrib, beneath 
glaucous, glabrous except on the slightly pubescent midrib and nerves; 
nerves very prominent, curved-ascending, strongly oblique, about 8 on 
each side of the midrib, the reticulations very obscure; petioles densely 
pubescent, becoming nearly glabrous, about 2 mm long. Flowers axil- 
lary, solitary, their pedicels short, pubescent, elongated in fruit. Sepals 
pubescent on both sides, broadly triangular-ovate, acute or acuminate, 
about 5 mm long and broad. Outer petals lanceolate, 5.5 cm long, 8 mm 
wide, narrowed above, fleshy, coriaceous, glabrous inside, pubescent out- 
side, the midrib prominent, somewhat' concave at the base; inner petals 
about 1 cm long, 4 mm wide, swollen and strongly concave at the base, 
long and gradually acuminate, coriaceous, somewhat pubescent outside on 
the upper half. Stamens many, 1.2 mm long, the connectives oblique, 
overlapping. Carpels many, ferruginous-villous, 1 mm long; styles 
slightly thickened upwards, glabrous. Fruit ellipsoid or oblong-ovoid, 1 
cm long or less, slightly pubescent, acute or apiculate, with a single seed.

Goniothalamus philippinensis Merrill sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, glabra; foliis oblongis, coriaceis, nitidis, nervis utrinque 
ca. 17 ; floribus magnis, petalis exterioribus late ovatis, 4 ad 5.5 cm 
longis, interioribus crassis, usque ad 1.5 cm longis, dense cinereo-pubes- 
centibus; stylis integris. 
A small tree, glabrous throughout except the flowers ; branches slender, 
terete, light-brown or grayish. Leaves oblong, coriaceous, shining, 15 to 
20 cm long, 4 to 7.5 cm wide, rather abruptly narrowed to both the acute 
base and slightly acuminate apex, the margins subparallel; nerves about 
17 on each side of the midrib, spreading, anastomosing, not prominent, 
the reticulations obscure; petioles stout, 8 mm long or less. Flowers 
pale-green, solitary, axillary, their pedicels stout, about 2 cm long, 
sparingly pubescent. Calyx lobes broadly triangular-ovate, acute, the
