ceous, shining, 15 to 20 cm long, 5 to 7 cm wide, entire, apex 
apparently obtuse, base acute, equilateral or subequilateral, 
never rounded on one side; lateral nerves 6 or 7, slender, as- 
cending; petioles about 1 cm long. Flowers unknown. Fruit 
from the old branches below the leaves, solitary or fascicled, 
from tubercles, globose, fleshy, glabrous, apparently about 4 cm 
in diameter, red, with an agreeable flavor {teste Foxworthy), 
each with two seeds. 
Negros, Mount Marapara, For. Bur, 13640 Curran & Foxworthy, Sep- 
tember, 1909, on forested ridges, altitude about 700 meters. 
Very similar to Cyclostemon viegacarpus Merr., and perhaps not specif- 
ically distinct. The material, however, shows no inter gradations in the 
differential character presented by the bases of the leaves. 
CYCLOSTEMON SUBCRENATUS sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 12 m alta; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis, chartaceis 
vel subcoriaceis, usque ad 8 cm longis, rectis vel leviter falcatis, 
plus minusve inaequilateralibus, apice obtuse acuminatis, basi 
acutis vel leviter acuminatis, margine distincte irregulariter 
crenatis; fructibus axillaribus, oblongo-ellipsoideis, dense griseo- 
puberulis, circiter 1 cm longis, 6 mm diametro, 1-Iocularibus, 
1-spermis. 
A tree about 12 m high, glabrous except the obscurely pu- 
berulent petioles, younger branches and the infrutescence. 
Branches terete, grayish, lenticellate, rather slender, glabrous, 
younger ones somewhat olivaceous, more or less angular and 
slightly puberulent. Leaves alternate, oblong-lanceolate, char- 
taceous or subcoriaceous, of the same color and shining on both 
surfaces when dry^ 5 to 8 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, straight 
or somewhat falcate, the base somewhat inequilateral, acute or 
somewhat acuminate, the apex obscurely and bluntly acuminate, 
the margins distinctly and irregularly crenate; primary nerves 
about 10 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, anastomos- 
ing, scarcely more distinct than are the secondary nerves and 
the reticulations ; petioles 2.5 to 5 mm long. Flowers unknown. 
Fruits axillary, solitary, oblong-ellipsoid, densely gray-puberu- 
lent outside, about 1 cm long and 6 mm in diameter, crowned by 
the styles, 1-ceIled, 1-seeded, the pedicels very slightly pubescent, 
about 4 mm long. 
Luzon, Province of Batangas, near Santo Tomas, For. Bur. 21567 Ta- 
mesis, May 22, 1910, in forests at an altitude of about 200 m, locally known 
as halichican. 
A species distinguished from the other Philippine representatives of the 
genus by its comparatively narrow leaves which are distinctly crenate. In 
some respects it resembles C cumingii Benth., but has much smaller, 
differently shaped leaves.
