_ 22008. Dryopteris luzonica Christ. Several stemmed terrestrial clumps 
in very wet humus covered ground or upon creek ledges in dense woods; roots 
form the short root stock, black, numerous; the greenish stipes soft; 1 to 3 
feet long; their fronds much recurved and usually longer, the pinnae darker 
green above, drying green on both sides; rachis straw colored. Mt. Pinatubo, 
April to June, 1927. Fern. 
22009. Sela inella. In wet ground of steep densely wooded cuts; stems 
often reddish brown, sometimes branched; segments much paler green beneath. 
Mt. Pinatubo, April to June, 1927. Selag. 
22011. Discocal hilippinensis Mez. Slender shrubs in woods of steep 
gulches; wood reddish white, hard, the smooth bark mottled; branches rigid, 
freely rebranched; leaves Slightly paler beneath, recurved; inflorescence 
creamy white; "yonkam" in Negrito. Mt. Pinatubo, April to June, 1927. Myrsin. 
22013. Pollia sorzogonensis (E. Mey.) Rank succulent masses over moist 
stones in densely wooded ravines; stems green, usually branched, reclining _ 
at the base but finally erect; leaves recurved, equally green on both sides; 
Spikes erect, greenish except the watery white or bluish tinged flowers. 
Mt. Pinatubo, April to June, 1927. Commelin. 
22014. Gironniera glabra Merr. A 2 feet thick tree in moist ravines; 
wood in the branches soft, white or nearly so; leaves conduplicate, tips. 
much recurved, sublucid and slightly uarker green above; infrutescence green, 
the obscurely compressed drupes turning wine red and juicy. Mt. Pinatubo, 
April to June, 1927. Ulm. 
Note: Gironniera glabra Merr. is from Mt. Marivcles. My Aphananthe 
negrosensis 1s apparently the same but with nearly twice as long leaves. My 
number 22014 was distributed as Exocearia [Excoecaria?] baccifera Ein. n. sp., 
but upon closer examination it seems to be identical with Merrill's Gironniera 
glabra, whose leaves average only one-half as wide. : 
22015. Cyclophorus adnascens (Sw.) Desv. Climbing and forming dense 
masses along limbs in a damp wooded ravine; rhizomes flexible and rebranched; 
the fronds thick or rigid, descending, the midvein usually brown beneath. 
Note: Apparently this same species in a dwarfed form inhabits the lowlands 
in airy places along water Courses, occasionally it is observed in Manila. 
Mt. Pinatubo, April to June, 1927. Polypod. 
i 22016. Pipturus subalpinus Elm. n. sp. A climbing and rambling shrub 
In very wet wooded ravines, the tangled branches freely rebranched and with 
smooth brown bark; leaves slightly paler beneath, sublucid above; inflor- 
escence green, the flowers more yellowish than green. Mt. Pinatubo, April 
to June, 1927. Urtic.
