outer surface and ciliate on the margins; petals 3, ^vhite, broadly oval 
with involute margins, 5 nun long, 4 mm wide, very obtuse, glabrous; 
tube campanulate, over 3 mm long, at first entire, later parted to the 
middle into 6 obtuse ovate or lanceolate lobes; anthers 6, dorBally at- 
tached at the level of the base of the lobes, nearly 3 mm long, oblanceolate ; 
ovary rudimentary. 
A shrub, 2 m high, its stems about 3 cm in diameter, covered at tlie 
apex ^vith reddish-broAvn, densely short-pubescent bark : leaves 50 to 80 
cm long (excluding the leaflets), the petiole conspicuously enlarged at ^ 
the base, at the first leaflets 5 to 6 mm in diameter, together with the 
fachis and petiolules more or less densely short-pubescent, petiolules un- 
equal, 4 to 17 mm long, that of the odd leaflet 15 to 40 mm long, other 
leaflets 6 pairs, chartaceous, varying from oblanceolate tlirough ol)long to 
lanceolate, 11.5 to 32 cm long, 5 to 11 cm wide, acute on both sides at 
the inequilateral base, the apex forming an obtuse acumen 1 to 1.5 cm 
long; primary lateral veins 11 to 16, nearly straight near the midvem, 
arched toward the margins, the secondary, both those arising from the 
midvein and those at right angles to the primary, sufficiently conspicuous 
on both surfaces, the veins of the under surface pubescent like the petioles.

Robinson. To this almost certainly is to be refevrod Ahern 32Jf, from Surigao, 
Mindanao, differing chiefly in the less conspicuous secondary venation of the 
glabrous leaflets. The nearest alliance among described species seems to be ytn 
A. perrottetiana C. DC, from which it is easily distinguishable by the texture 
and other characters of the leaflets. Closely allied forms, though probably specifi- 
cally distinct, have been collected in Ilocos Norte, Leyte, and Muidoro. 
Dysoxylum altissimum Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci- 1 (1006) S^PPl- ^2 
This specie, is definitelv known only in the flowering condition from Bataan 
but 102^3 with detached fruits is otherwise a good match. The ^alls of he 
globose fruit, split nearly to the base into 4 elliptic valves, the «car St-rermil an 
seeds are 3 cm long. The Polillo specimen is also fairly well matched b^ Min- 
danao material, which is probably distinct from the Bat^aan species. 
Another species of this genus seems to be represented by lOj.O, ^ - -'t-^; 
more closely resembling D, venosuni Merr., from Cagayan, than any other, 
still not perfectly. , ,„„ * Tii«
