each side of the midrib, very prominent^ ascending, the reticulations not 
prominent; petioles stout, 1 to 3 cm long; stipules persistent, covering 
the apices of the branchlets, grayish, glabrous, coriaLCous, oblong-ovate, 
acute, 01" o1)tuse, strongly keeled, 1 to 1.5 cm long. Flowers in few-

cm long, densely ferruginous-pubescent. Outer three calyx lobes valvate, 
denselj- ferruginous-pubescent, broadly ovate, acute or obtuse, coriace- 
ous, about 6 mm long, the inner three somewhat pet-aloid, imbricate, 
nearly glabrous, or pubescent ojily on the median portion of the back, 
suborbicular, rounded or retuse. Stamens about 20. Ovary glabrous, 
9- or 10-celled; styles nearly 2 cm long..

A species remarkable for its elongated retuse leaves, prominent, persistent 
stipules and 9- to 10-celled ovaries. In most species of Palaquium the ovary is 
6-celled, so that the present species is anomalous in this respect as well as in its 
persistent stipules. In all other characters it is a true Palaquiuhi, and is ac- 
cordingly described as such. 
Palaquium elongatum sp. nov. 
Arbor ca. 20 m alta; ramulis glabris; foliis lanceolatis vel anguste 
elongato-lanceolatis, acuminatis, coriaceis, supra glabris, subtus dense 
ferrugineo-pubescentibus nitidisque, 20 ad 25 cni, longis, 4 ad 8 cm 
latis; ncrvis utrinquc 14 ad 16, prominentibus; floribns axillaribus, 
solitariis, longe pedicellatis, dense ferrugineo-pubescentibiis. 
A tree about 20 m high, the branches thickened, gray, glabrous, the 
apices of the branchlets Mdth numerous, narrowly lanceolate, about 1 cm 
long, coriaceous, glabrous stipules. Leaves lanceolate to narrowly oblong- 
lanceolate, coriaceous, 20 to 25 cm long, 4 to 8 em wide, glal^rous on the 
npper surface, beneath densely ferriiginous-pirbesoent and sliining, the 
midrib and lateral nerves glabrous or nearly so, apex short-acuminate, 
gradually nai-rowed below to the acute or slightly acuminate base; 
nerves on each side of the midrib 14 to 16, prominent, somewhat ascend- 
ing, reticulations nearly obsolete ; petioles about 4 cm long, glabrous or 
nearly so. Flowers in the leaf-axils, solitary, few, the pedicels ferrugi- 
nous-piibescent, 5 cm long or less. Outer three calyx lobes ferruginous- 
pubescent, valvate, broadly triangular-ovate, acute, about 6 nmi long. 
the inner three thinner, ovate, appressed-pubescent on the back. Corolla 
appressed-pubescent on the outside. Stamens about 20. Ovary ferru- 
ginous-pubescent, 6-celled; the style, in bud, glabrous, 4 mm long.
