compressed, about 2 cm wide, 1.3 cm long, somewhat keeled,

Luzon, Abra Subprovince, Dolores, Bur Sci. 7083 Ramos, February, 1909, 
in forests, fruit red. 
A very characteristic species, distinguishable by being entirely glabrous, 
by its lanceolate, elongated, coriaceous, long-petioled leaves, and by its 
comparatively large drupes which are reniform and distinctly keeled. 
SEMECABPUS MAGABOTRYS sp. nov. 
Arbor dioica ramulis subtus foliis inflorescentiisque ferrugi- 
neo- vel pallide f ulvo-villosis ; foliis anguste oblongo-obovatis ad 
obovato-lanceolatis, crasse coriaceis, usque ad 22 cm longis, apice 
obtusis, acutis, vel rotundatis, basi angustatis, abrupte obtusls 
vel rotundatis, supra glabris, in siccitate nitidis, subtus pallidis ; 
nervis primariis utrinque circiter 22, prominentibus ; paniculis 
terminalibus, 40 ad 50 cm longis. 
A dioecious tree probably of small or medium size. Bra\iches 
stout, brownish, the younger ones rather prominently pubescent. 
Leaves narrowly oblong-obovate to obovate-lanceolate, thickly 
coriaceous, the apex acute, blunt, or rounded, the base narrowed 
and abruptly obtuse or rounded, 15 to 22 cm long, 5 to 8 cm 
wide, when dry the upper surface rather pale, shining, glabrous, 
the lower surface much paler than the upper one, more or less 
glaucous, and rather densely villous with pale-brownish hairs; 
lateral nerves about 22 on each side of the midrib, very Hromi- 
nent on the lower surface, spreading or somewhat ascending, 
the secondary ones subparallel, prominent, the ultimate reticu- 
lations distinct; petioles stout, pubescent, 1 to 1.5 cm long. 
Panicles pyramidal, terminal, 40 to 50 cm in length, ferruginous- 
or fulvous-villous, the flowers very numerous. Male flowers 
fascicled or glomerate at the nodes, the calyx 2 mm in diameter, 
pubescent, 5-toothed, the teeth short, triangular. Petals 5, 
oblong-ovate, acute, 2 mm long. Disk about 1.3 mm in diameter. 
Female flowers: Calyx pubescent, 3 mm in diameter. Petals 5, 
oblong-ovate, acute, 3 mm long. Ovary depressed, densely fer- 
ruginous-villous, about 2 mm in diameter. Young fruit with 
pedicels 1.5 to 2 cm in length, the hypocarpium rather densely 
ferruginous-villous, 4 mm long, about 5 mm wide when dry, 
the drupe somewhat compressed (immature), obovoid, about 7 
mm long, with scattered, apparently deciduous, ferruginous hairs, 
apparently ultimately glabrous.
