Boehmeria moluccana both of Weddell and Blume was based on ZJrtica 
moluccana Blume, but Weddell afterwards rejected this specific name, apparently 
on the ground that his species differed from that of Blume, which he gave varietal 
rank under C. macroceplialus , 46 
Local names: libasa (Misamis), salabugan (Apo).

2. Cypholophus brunneolus Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 3 (1910) 896. 
Frutex 2- ad 3-metralis, parce ramosus, caulibus admodum angulatis, 
apicem versus parce strigosis : glomerulis pistilliferis circiter 5 mm dia- 
metro; perianthio tubulos'o-ventricoso, circiter 1 mm longo, ore valde 
contracto breviter bidentato sparse piloso, acbenio approximate sed haud 
adnato, stigmate 0.7 mm longo, valde -recurvato : petiolis oppositis, sub- 
aecpiilongis vel saepius inaequilongis, brevioribus 6 ad 12 mm, longior- 
ibus 15 ad 45 mm longis, laminis coriaceis vel rigide cbartaceis, isomor- 
phis et fere aequimagnis, ellipticis ad elliptico-obovatis, 4 ad 12 cm 
longis, 2 ad 5.5 cm latis, basi acutis, margine ima basi excepta serratis, 
apice breviter acuminatis, trinerviis, venis additis 4 ad 6 ; stipulis lan- 
ceolatis, 8 ad 12 mm longis. 
Negros, Canlaon Volcano, Merrill 6913. Mindanao, District of Davao, Mount 
Apo, Elmer 11641 (type), 11587 : elevations GOO to 1,000 m. 
Very distinct from C. moluccanus; more closely allied to the next, and among 
previously described species probably nearest to C. lutescens (Bl.) Wedd. 
Local names (Apo) : ramirami, salabogan. 
3. Cypholophus microphyllus Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 3 (1910) 895. 
Suffruticosus, metralis, ramosus, ramulis dense pubescentibus : lloribus 
pistilliferis ut in praecedente, sed perianthio minute 4-dentato, glomerulis 
minoribus: paris petiolis subaequalibus vel saepius valde inaequalibus, 
2 ad 12 mm longis, laminis rigidis ambabus obovatis subaequalibus, vel 
inaequalibus una obovata altera suborbiculare, 8 ad 40 mm longis, 8 ad 
24 mm latis, basi acutis vel rotundatis, apice haud vel brevissime acumin- 
atis, margine ima basi excepta serratis, trinerviis ; stipulis circiter 5 mm 
longis, diu persistentibus. 
Mindanao, District of Davao, Mount Apo, at 1,800 m elevation, Elmer 11588. 
Somewhat like the preceding on a much reduced scale, but apparently quite 
distinct, though likely more closely allied to it than' to any other species. 
Local name: ramirami. 
Villar 46 says that he had also seen C. prostratus Wedd. in Vidal’s herbarium, 
from Tayabas. Checking over Vidal’s own record of his Tayabas plants, 47 it is 
not unlikely that the species intended by Villar was Boehmeria blumei Wedd., 
whose styles are often rather short with a tendency to curve; moreover, Villar 
mentions that species as one which he had not seen.
