A species characterized by its large, entire, acuminate, long-petioled 
leaves which are not at all peltate or cordate, its paniculate, densely 
pubescent inflorescence, and its unarmed capsules, each consisting of two 
small, globose, glandular cocci. 
MACARANGA LEYTENSIS sp. nov. 
Species M. gigantifoliae afRnis differt foliis vix peltatis, basi 
latissime subtruncato-cordatis subauriculatisque, subtus eglan- 
dulosis, bracteolis distincte palmato-lobatis, lobis oblongis, 
brevibus, obtusis, 
A tree about 12 m high. Leaves broadly ovate, about 35 cm 
long, 25 to 30 cm wide, chartaceous, entire, the upper surface 
olivaceous when dry, shining, glabrous, or slightly pubescent on 
the nerves, the lower surface paler, shining, not at all glandular, 
ciliate with scattered, long, white hairs on the nerves and 
reticulations, apex subcaudate-acuminate, the acumen about 1.5 
cm long, the base very broadly subtruncate-cordate, at the in- 
sertion of the petiole subauriculate, prominently 3-nerved, with 
4 or 5 supplementary pairs of progressively shorter basal nerves, 
the longest about 9 cm long, the others very much shorter; 
lateral nerves above the basal pair about 12 on each side of the 
midrib, prominent, anastomosing close to the margin, the 
reticulations prominent, subparallel; petioles more or less ciliate, 
about 30 cm long. Male panicles axillary, they or their branches 
* 
20 to 30 cm long, ferruginous-tomentose, the younger parts 
densely so, the older parts glabrescent and dark-colored when 
dry. Flowers very numerous, the bracts obovate, densely 
pubescent, 2.5 to 3 mm long, 4 to 6 fascicled at each node, 
subpalmately lobed, the lobes 10 to 12, oblong, obtuse, about 1 
mm long, each bract subtending about 8 sessile flowers. Calyx 
about 0.8 mm long, narrowly funnel-shaped, obscurely 3-lobed, 
somewhat pubescent above. Stamens 2 or 3, the filaments about 
as long as the perianth. Female flowers and fruits not seen. 
Leyte, Mount Ibuni, near Dagami, Bur. ScL 15253 Ranios, August 21, 
1912, on forested slopes near streams. 
A species manifestly allied to Macaranga gigantifolia Merr., M. nohlei 
Elm., and M. amplifolia Merr., distinguished from all by its eglandular 
leaves. It is, perhaps, most closely allied to the first, from which it is 
also distinguished by its very differently shaped leaves, truncate-cordate 
and subauriculate at the base, not deeply peltate, and its different bracts.
