cent. Petals glabrous, elliptic to obovate, cleft to the middle. 
Filaments as long as the sepals; anthers about 0.5 mm long. 
Fruit apparently obovoid (immature) , 1 to 1.5 cm long, externally 
densely fulvous-pubescent, apparently 1-seeded. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboang-a, Port Banga, Bur. Scl 11771 Robinson, 
July 5, 1910, growing at the edge of the forest. 
A species very similar in appearance Dichapetalum luzoniense Merr. & 
Rolfe, and distinguishable only by some minor characters. The leaves 
are quite different in shape, not narrowed to the base, acute, not at all 
acuminate, with a few more nerves and more densely pubescent on the 
lower surface than in the Luzon species. D, luzoniense Merr. & Rolfe is 
manifestly a woody vine, while D, robinsonii is described as a tree, reclining, 
and reaching a height of 8 m. The inflorescence is also subterminal, not 
strictly axillary, and not long-peduncled.

Arbor alta, glabra, vel partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 
minute puberulis; foliis 30 ad 40 cm longis, imparipinnatis ; 
foliolis 11 ad 15, nitidis, crasse coriaceis, oblongis vel oblongo- 
ovatis, acuminatis, basi obliquis, valde inaequilateralibus, sub- 
acutis vel rotundatis, usque ad 14 cm longis; paniculis folia 
aequantibus, glabris vel obscure puberulis ; floribus breviter 
pedicellatis, petalis quam sepalis vix longioribus, segmentis 
calycinis auctis, anguste oblongis, obtusis, usque ad 10 cm longis. 
A tall tree, reaching a height of 25 m, glabrous or nearly so. 
Ultimate branches thickened, 1 to 1.5 cm thick, grayish or 
brownish, marked with large petiolar scars, glabrous, or the 
growing tip somewhat puberulent. Leaves somewhat crowded 
at the ends of the branchlets, 30 to 40 cm long, their petioles 
stout. Leaflets 11 to 15, oblong to oblong-ovate, thickly coria- 
ceous, 8 to 15 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, shining, inequilateral, 
entire, the apex acuminate, the base oblique, one side of the 
lamina much broader than the other, usually broadly rounded, 
the narrower side usually acute; nerves about 14 on each side 
of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing, the reticulations distinct; 
petiolules about 8 mm long. Panicles in the upper axils, as 
long as the leaves, glabrous or very slightly puberulent, their 
rachises stout, straight, the branches rather few, scattered, the 
lower ones 10 cm long or less, the upper ones shorter. Flowers 
4-merous, short-pedicelled. Calyx at anthesis slightly puberu- 
lent, 4-Iobed, the lobes about 6 mm long, obtuse, somewhat 
spreading. Petals 4, triangular-ovate, obtuse, glabrous, reti-
