PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 283 
the apex prominently and rather slenderly subcaudate-acumi- 
nate, the acumen straight or somewhat curved, 1 to 2 cm long, 
the upper surface glabrous, when dry somewhat olivaceous, 
shining, the lower surface pale but not glaucous, slightly shin- 
ing, very minutely puberulent or nearly glabrous; lateral nerves 
about 16 on each side of the midrib, prominent, spreading, anas- 
tomosing, the reticulations distinct, the primary ones slender, 
leaving the nerves at about right angles and anastomosing with 
the secondary lateral nerves, the ultimate free ends of the 
nervules rather distinct; petioles 1 to 2 cm long. Panicles ter- 
minal, slender, narrowly pyramidal, about 7 cm long, the lower 
branches about 2 cm in length, puberulent or somewhat pubes- 
cent with grayish hairs, the branchlets more or less ferruginous. 
Male flowers somewhat crowded on the ultimate branchlets, their 
pedicels 1 to 1.5 mm long, the bracteoles lanceolate, acuminate, 
pubescent, 1 to 1.4 mm long. Calyx pubescent, 2.5 mm in diam- 
eter, 5-lobed, the lobes broadly ovate, obtuse, puberulent. Pet- 
als prominently punctate-striate, oblong-ovate, obtuse, 2 mm 
long. Disk 1 mm in diameter, ferruginous-pubescent. Anthers 
1 mm long. Immature fruits with puberulent pedicels 5 to 8 
mm long, the hypocarpium puberulent, when dry about 4 mm 
long and wide, the drupe obliquely ovoid, somewhat compressed, 
5 to 6 mm long, very slightly pubescent, apparently becoming 
quite glabrous.

27, 1911, in forests along streams, <? flowers: Province of Zambales, Bur. 
Sci. 5058 Ramos, December, 1907, with immature fruits. 
A species manifestly allied to Semecarpus philippinensis Engl., but 
distinguished by its short and slender panicles, and its differently shaped 
leaves which are prominently subcaudate-acuminate and usually obscurely 
puberulent beneath. 
SEMECARPUS EUPHLEBIA sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 18 m alta, inflorescentiis puberulis exceptis 
glabra; foliis crassissime coriaceis, oblongis vel anguste oblongo- 
ovatis, apice obtusis, basi acutis, usque ad 20 cm longis, supra 
nitidis, subtus glaucescentibus, nervis utrinque circiter 20, valde 
prominentibus, petiolo 4 ad 5 cm longo; paniculis folia subae- 
quantibus, anguste pyramidatis, puberulis, floribus S-meris. 
A tree about 18 m high, glabrous except the puberulent inflor- 
escence. Branches stout, brownish, the ultimate ones about 8 
mm in diameter. Leaves very thickly coriaceous, oblong to 
narrowly oblong-ovate, 16 to 20 cm long, about 6 cm wide, 
narrowed upward to the obtuse apex, and below to the acute
