Palawan, Iwaliig, Bur. Sci. 821 Foxworthy, April 30, 1906. 
A species well characterized by being entirely glabrous, except the ovary, styles 
and petals. 
Bauhinia dolichocalyx sp. nov. § Lysipliyllum. 
Arbor ca. 10 m alta; foliis ovatis, integris, basi cordatis, apice bre- 
viter acuteque acuminatis, 10 ad 14 cm longis, nervis 7 ; inflorescentiis 
terminalibus, densissime f usco-tomentosis ; calycis segmentis anguste lan- 
eeolatis, 4 ad 5 cm longis; staminibus fertilibus 10; leguminibus ca. 20 
cm longis, 7 cm latis, glabris; seminibus 2, eompressis, 3.5 cm diam. 
A tree about 10 m high. Branehlets terete, lenticellate, somewhat 
brown-pubescent. Leaves subcoriaceous, ovate, 10 to 14 cm long, 11 cm 
wide or less, entire, the base broad, usually prominently cordate, the apex 
shortly and sharply acuminate, glabrous and shining above, somewhat 
pubescent, along the nerves beneath; nerves 7, prominent; petioles 2 to 
3 cm long, pubescent. Inflorescence terminal, short, the flowers race- 
mosely disposed, densely brown-appressed-tomentose. Calyx tube and 
pedicels not differentiated, 7 to 8 cm long, gradually thickened upwards, 
densely brown-tomentose, the calyx lobes narrowly lanceolate or linear- 
lanceolate, 4. to 5 cm long, about 5 mm wide, densely brown-pubescent 
outside, subequal. Petals about 5 cm long, glabrous or nearly so, long- 
clawed. Fertile stamens 10. Ovary glabrous. Pods woody, about 20 
cm long, 7 cm wide, glabrous, each with two rounded compressed shining 
seeds about 3.5 cm in diameter. 
Luzon, Province of Batangas, For. Bur. 7756 Curran & Merritt, October 28, 
1907. 
A striking species, well characterized by its entire leaves, undifferentiated 
calyx tube and pedicel, very long calyx lobes, 10 fertile stamens, and rather 
large pods. 
MUCUNA Adans. 
Mucuna mindorensis nom. nov. 
Mucuna acuminata Merr. Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 196, non Grab. 
In describing the above species the fact was overlooked that the specific name 
acuminata had already, been used. Accordingly the above new name is here 
proposed for the species. 
GLYCINE I jinn. 
Glycine warburgii (Perk.) comb. nov. 
Pueraria warburgii Perk. Frag. FI. Philip. (1904) 87. 
Mindanao, Taumo, Warburg 11/661/, in Herb. Berol. (type) ; District of 
Davao, DeVore & Hoover 368, May, 1903 ; Santa Cruz, Williams 2953, June, 1905: 
Province of Surigao, Baganga, Merrill 51/30, October 6, 1906. 
The plant is apparently Glycine and not Pueraria, and seems to be allied to 
G. javanica Linn. I have examined the type of Pueraria warburgii in Herb. 
Berol., and find that the other specimens here cited closely match it. According 
to Perkins 1. c., a closely allied, if not identical form, is found in Celebes.
