Excerpt from The Philippine Journal of Science, Vol. 13: 1918 The last paper under this title was published in 1915, = the present contribution being essentially similar to the preceding ones of the series. Seventy-two species in thirty-four families are described as new, the groups considered being those that for the most part present comparatively few novelties in current collections. One new genus, Ilocania, of the Cucurbitaceae, is described. Eight species previously described from extra Philippine material are for the first time credited to the Archipelago, representatives of these having appeared in our current collections, among these the genus Zippelia is new to the Archipelago. A noteworthy species, presenting another striking case of Philippine-Australian distribution is the rare and very characteristic Ipomoea diversifolia R. Br., which has definitely been reported only from the small islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, but which now appears in our collections from north-western Luzon. Sida longistipula Merr., described below, a very characteristic and strongly marked species, finds its alliance with a few Australian species rather than with the Asiatic representatives of the genus. Vitex celebica Koord. adds another species to the already long list of those known only from the Philippines and Celebes.
