Trigonostemon oblanceolatus sp. nov. § Eutrigonostemon. 
Arbuscula^ praecedenti similiSj iloribus exceptis miiius hirsuta, sed 
differt floribus staminiferis minus nuiiierosis, calyce hirsuto, comioctivo 
magis producto, petalis purpureas. 
Inflorescences about 2(S cm long, the rachis angled and grooved, about 
2 mm wide, densely hirsute, the flowers racemed, the pistillate solitary, 
the staminate solitary or very few ; bracts lanceolate, 7 to 8 mm long, or 
shorter at the base and apex of the raceme, densely hirsute, usually ac- 
companied by a pair of much smaller bracts as in T. hirsuius: staminate 
flowers very shortly pedicelled; calyx deeply 5-parted, 2 mm long, or 
with the dense stiff yellowish pubescence 3 mm long, two of the segments 
lanceolate, subacute, the other three oblong-obovale, obtuse; petals dark- 
purple, free, 5, obovate, 3 mm long; disk shortly cupular, free for about 
0.4 mm; androphore 1 mm long, the anthers 3, the connective free 
nearly to the base and strongly thickened and protruding beyond the 
cells, the latter narrowly oblong, 0.5 mm long, extrorse, dehiscing long- 
itudinally ; no rudimentary ovary : pistillate flowers on pedicels 9 to 10 
mm long, hirsute, apically thickened ; calyx deeply 5-parted, 5 to 7 mm 
long, the greater extreme including pubescence, three of the segments 
lanceolate, subacute, the other two menibranaceous-margined, oval, obtuse; 
disk shortly cupular, closely inclosing base of ovary; ovary densely 
pubescent, 2.5 mm long, 4 mm in diameter, 3-celled, the ovules solitary; 
syles 3, 0.8 mm long, free from one another, deeply 2-parted. 
A tree about 3 m high, its stems 5 cm in diameter, the bark dirty- 
brownish, the apices greenish, angled, very slightly hirsute : leaves alter- 
nate, simple; petioles 10 to 18 mm long; lamina submembranaceous, 
oblanceolate, 29 to 31 cm long, 9 to 9.5 cm wide, the base acute, the 
margins merely obscurely sinuate with a very few inconspicuous glands, 
the apex forming a very short acumen; both surfaces inconspicuously 
hirsute, except the densely hirsute sides of the costa of the under surface; 
pairs of veins about 19, arched and forming a submarginal vein. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboaiigu, Sax River, at 150 m elevation, Willuxms 
21S5 In the opened flowers, the calyx-segments appear valvate with the excep- 
tion of the broader ones in the pistillate flowers; in one of these, petals were 
found loosely adhering to the sides of the ovary, which were quite similar to those 
of the staminate flowers.
