A species allied to Freycinetia luzonensis Presl, and to F. multiflora Merr., 
differing from the former in its longer leaves, longer and differently shaped 
syncarps which are more numerous, and from the latter in its shorter, fewer 
syncarps and shorter leaves. It is the species previously determined by me as 
F. luzonensis Presl. 4 
7. Freycinetia curranii sp. nov. § Oligostigma. 
Scandens; ramis teretibus, circiter 1.3 cm crassis; foliis numerosis, 
congestis, coriaceis, nitidis, pallidis, lineari-lanceolatis vel anguste lanceo- 
latis, 40 ad 50 cm longis, 2 ad 3 cm latis, apice sensim longe acuminatis, 
basi vix angustatis, vaginantibus, marginibus apicem basimque versus 
spinuloso-dentatis, in media parte inermibus, costa subtus in parte super- 
iore spinuloso-aculeatis. Spadicibus ternis, fructiferis oblongis, cylin- 
draceis, circiter 4 cm longis, 1 ad 1.3 cm crassis'; fructibus cylindraceis, 
angulatis, basi plus minus carnosis, partibus superioribus liberis, 3 mm 
longis, angulatis, truncatis, stigmatibus 2 vel 3 ; pendunculis scabridis, 
2 cm longis. 
Luzon, Province of Camarines, Mount Isarog, For. Bur. 11359 Curran, May, 
1908, in forests at 1,000 m. alt. 
A species allied to F. auriculata Merr., but with syncarps less than one-half 
as long as in that species, the auricles at the base of the leaves membranaceous, 
and attached to the leaf margin for their entire length, with no free ovate portion.

Closely allied to the preceding, but apparently distinct. F. luzonensis, F. 
rohinsonii, and F. multiflora form a group of allied species, and additional material 
may lead to a different disposition of some of the specimens cited above.

Scandens, robusta, ramulis circiter 1 cm crassis; foliis coriaceis, nitidis, 
40 ad 60 cm longis, 1 ad 1.5 cm latis, pallidis, apice sensim attenuato- 
acuminatis, basi baud angustatis, valde vaginantibus, auriculatis, auri- 
culis 7 ad 10 mm longis, obtusis, coriaceis, marginibus aculeatis, costa
