196 ROBINSOK. 
A shrub 4 m liigli, the bark of its ultimate branches gray, very 
slightly' striate, glabrous; leaves borne on petioles 4-8 mm long, the 
lamina entire, elliptic or more rarely oval, 7.2-13.2 cm long, 2.8-5.8 
cm wide, decurrent at the base, at the apex shortly and obtusely acuminate, 
^ glabrous on both surfaces, paler in color on the under surface; primary 
lateral veins on each side of the midrib 10-12, curving from the midrib, 
hardly forming a distinct submarginal vein except in young leaves, the 
ends of the principal veins usually joined by mucb more obscure ones- 
only, the venation of all orders nevertheless quite distinct on both surfaces. 
Typp collected at an elevation of 125 m at Niladlaran, Island of Ticao, by 
W. W. Clark, /'or. Bur. 1001, May-Jnne, 1904. 
Very similar in gross characters to C. ovatus, Imt quite distinct, especially in 
its venation.

length into 5 broadly lanceolate lobes with thickened apices; petals 5, 
obovate, 1.2 mm long, 0.8 mm wide, 3-toothed at the apex, narrowed 
at the base into a short claw ; disk covering the base of the calyx ; 
androgynophore about 0.5 mm long; filaments 5, 1.3 mm long, decreas- 
ing in diameter upwards ; anthers broadly lanceolate, about 1 mm long ; 
rudiment of the ovary lanceolate, 0.7 mm long, 3-notched at the apex : 
female flowers with apparently a slightly longer calyx divided more deeply 
into linear-lanceolate lol)es, their tips spreading or roflexed in fruit; 
petals elliptic, nearly 1 mm long, 0.7 mm wide, slightly toothed at the 
apex; disk divided into 5 oblong lobes 1.5 mm long, and 0.9 mm wide,

each cell containing 2 ovules: capsules borne on slender pedicels less 
than 1 mm long, which are concealed by the calyx, globose-obovoid, 
5-5.5 mm long, 5.5-G.5 mm in diaineter, reticulate, witb a few scattered 
inconspicuous hairs, dehiscent, 3-celled, tlie seeds not matured. 
A tall tree, the bark of the ultimate branches gray, more or less

'2.5-3 cm wide, subcoriaeootis, entire, shortly acuminate at the base, at 
the apex narrowed into a slender aenmen 1.5-2 cm long, glabrous and 
shining on both surfaces; primary lateral veins on eacli side of the
