NEW PHILIPPINE FLORA. 
423 
Mindanao, Lake Lanao (683 Mrs. Clemens) September-October, 1906. Malay- 
an Peninsula to Java and Sumatra, and probably other islands in the Malayan 
Archipelago. 
The specimens from Mindanao are apparently typical, and with the exclusion 
of Kadsura blancoi = Phytocrene ! (Icacinacew) from the Magnoliacece, the above 
species is the first one of the genus to be recorded from the Philippines.

C. lobata R. Br. var. moluccana Mast, in Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 1 (1875) 597;

Prodr. 17 (1873) 26. 
Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley (137 Mrs. Clemens) 1906, in fruit in 
February, in flower in July and September. 
Baillon gives the distribution of the variety integrifolia— C. moluccana, 
as from British India through Malaya to New Guinea, but Engler in Nat. Pflan- 
zenfamilien gives its distribution as from the Moluccas, Ceram and New Guinea. 
F.-Villar reported it from Luzon and Panay, but his record of the species as a 
Philippine plant has previously never been verified. 
VITACEW. 
PTERISANTH ES Blume. 
Pterisanthes sinuosa Merrill n. sp. 
Glabra; foliis ovatis vel oblongo-ovatis, membranaceis, 11 ad 20 cm. 
longis, 6 ad 11 cm. latis, apice acuminatis, basi le viter cordatis, margine 
grosse distanter sinuato-dentatis ; receptaeulo oblongo-lanceolato, longe 
pedunculato, 11 ad 20 cm. longo, 1 ad 1.8 cm. lato, floribus marginalibus 
pedicellatis, floribus sessilibus immersis, 4-meris. 
Nearly glabrous throughout when mature, the younger parts slightly 
ferruginous-pilose. Branches slender. Leaves ovate to oblong-ovate, 
simple, 11 to 20 cm. long, 6 to 11 cm. wide, membranaceous, the apex 
sharply acuminate, the base somewhat cordate, broad, the margins 
distantly and coarsely sinuate-dentate, dull or shining ; nerves prominent, 
curved-ascending, about 5 on each side of the midrib; petioles 3 to 5 
cm. long. Tendrils bifid. Receptacles red (?) apparently somewhat 
fleshy when fresh, oblong-lanceolate, 11 to 20 cm. long, 1 to 1.8 cm. 
wide, long pedunculate, the marginal flowers rather numerous, pedicel- 
late, the pedicels about 1.5 cm. long, those on the surface of the lamina 
sessile, immersed, very numerous, 4-merous, the petals triangular-ovate, 
acute, 1 mm. long, the calyx disciform, truncate, about 1.7 mm. in 
diameter. 
Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley (647 Mrs. Clemens), July-October, 
1906, four collections. 
The first species of this very characteristic Malayan genus to be found in the 
Philippines and apparently closely related to Pterisanthes polita Miq., of the 
Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, differing from that species in its 
coarsely sinuate-toothed larger leaves and other characters.
