I refer this specimen here with some hesitation, as it has pistillate 
flowers only. It agrees, however, with the description in essential char- 
acters, differing chiefly in its leaves not being at all 3-lobed. In Mallotus 
barbatus, however, the leaves appear not to be always 3-lobed, as in 
Henry 9525 from Yunnan. 
Not previously reported from the Philippines; Burma to southern 
China, southward to Java.

A shrub or small tree, the younger branchlets, petioles, in- 
florescences, and nerves on the lower surfaces of the leaves 
more or less pubescent with simple hairs, and including the

for the pubescent midrib and primary nerves, the base distinctly
