PHILIPPINE PLANTS,' IX. 295 
+ 
Flowers unknown. Fruit ovoid to globose-obovoid, 5 to 6 mm 
long, glabrous. 
Luzon, Ben^et Subprovince, Sablan, Phil PL ^83 Fenix, November, 
1910, on slopes along trails, locally known to the Igorots as arocong, 
A species distinguishable from the other Philippine ones by its com- 
paratively very large leaves, entire leaflets, and in being nearly glabrous, 
at least when mature. 
ELAEOCARPACEAE. 
ELAEOCARPUS L. 
ELAEOCARPUS GRANDIFLORUS Sm. in Rees Cyclop. 12 (1802-20) no. 5; 
Pierre in FI. Forest. Cochinch. pL 1J^2; Gagnepain in Lecomte 
Fl. Gen. Indo-Chine 1 (1910) 568. 
BusuANGA, Bintuan, C Af. Weber 155^ bis, March 3, 1912, common along 
streams in forests. 
Not previously reported from the Philippines; Burma, Indo-China, and 
Java. 
The Busuanga specimens appear to be quite typical, at least of the 
species as interpreted by Pierre and by Gagnepain. It agrees with 
Gagnepain's description in all essential details, and, so far as the specimens 
are comparable, with a Cochinchina collection by Thorel, in the Herbarium 
of the Bureau of Science. The Philippine material is in full flower and 
with a single nearly mature fruit, while our specimen of ThoreFs collection 
has very immature fruits. A specimen from Java, VI, C, 178 of the 
Botanical Garden at Buitenzorg, probably typical Elaeocarpus lanceolatua 
Blume, which is generally considered to be a synonym of E, grandiflorus Sm., 
seems to diifer from the Philippine material more than does the Cochinchina 
material. Although the three specimens before me are not directly com- 
parable, all being in different stages of development, they apparently 
represent a single species. 
ELAEOCARPUS PUSTULATUS sp. nov. § Euelaeo carpus. 
Arbor, foliis utrinque sepalisque extus pustulis minutis in- 
structis; foliis lanceolatis vel anguste ovato-lanceolatis, acumi- 
natis, usque ad 8 cm longis, glabris, longe acuminatis; racemis 
numerosis, e axillis defoliatis; floribus S-meris, circiter 5 mm 
longis. 
A tree, glabrous except the sparingly appressed-pubescent in- 
florescence, the branches smooth, terete, the branchlets usually 
reddish-brown. Leaves lanceolate to narrowly ovate-lanceolate, 
5 to 8 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, subcoriaceous, the base acute, 
the apex slenderly acuminate, margins distantly and somewhat 
obscurely toothed, both surfaces with numerous small pustules, 
the lower one a little paler than the upper and with glands in 
the axils of the lateral nerves ; nerves about 6 on each side of 
the midrib, not prominent; petioles about 7 mm long, often with 
a pair of small lateral glands at the apex. Racemes in the axils
