PHILIPPINE DIPTEROCARPACEAE. 271

A translation of Blanco's origmal doscription for Mocancra malaanonan 
is as follows: Leaves ovate, lanceolate, broad, abruptly pointed, whitish 
beneath. Calyx divided almost to the base into five oblong parts, con- 
stricted a little above the fruit; the three exterior more than 7.5 em 
long. Fruit oval, free at maturity, surrounded by the calyx, outer 
covering fragile, crowned with a long style, which bears three stigmaa, 
and with a seed of three or four lobules in a compartment. Trees of 
some diameter, known at Angat by the rather equivocal name of mala- 
anonang; the leaves have a length of a span, they are broad and the new 
ones are whitish and soft beneath. This distinguishes it sufficiently from 
other members of the genus. The tree also gives an odorous resm, but 
in small quantity. ' j. i 
Vidal's description of S. poHta evidently refers to a narrower form and 
is as follows : Leaves lanceolate-elliptic, acute »t apex, rounded at base, 
the margin somewhat undulate; leaf blade 6 to 13 cm by 3 to 4 cm 
petiole 3 to 3 cm ;. lateral nerves 12 to 15 pairs, slightly ascending (about 
60°) n6t very distinct, very smooth in the interspaces. Fruiting calyx 
of a brilliant gray, the part which envelops the nut very round, with 
three long, usually unequal (5 to 8 cm) wings and 2 short and narrow 
(3 cm) reddish-yellow which are much reticulated and with about 10 
ncrvGS 
It seems that a narrow-leaved and a broad-leaved form of malaanonang 
are recognized by the natives, but they seem to be connected by inter- 
mediate forms and it is for that reason that the two are here classed as ■ 
one species. , ^ „^o^Kr 
ClLly resembling S. coriacea Burck but with larger aiid more nearly 
glabrous fruit. Perhaps the same species which was deseribed a S^ 
hjpocra by Hance from Cochinchina, but usually with a smaller number 
of secondary nerves. ..
