A species closely allied to Meliosma vulcanica Merr. but with

GUIOA Cavanilles 
GUIOA MINDORENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex subglaber, ramulis junioribus leviter adpresse pubes- 
centibus; foliis circiter 12 em longis, rhachibus glabris, sursum 
anguste alatis vel carinatis, foliolis plerumque 7, oblongo-ellipti- 
cis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, 5 ad 7 cm longis, subtus 
parcissime pubescentibus, apice obtuse acuminatis, basi decur- 
rento-acuminatis, plerumque inaequilateralibus, nervis utrinque 
circiter 6, subtus cum reticulis perspicuis; infructescentiis axil- 
laribus, paniculatis, circiter 6 cm longis; sepalis ovatis, 2 mm 
longis, margine ciliatis; fructibus late obovatis, retusis, glabris, 
1 cm longis latisque. 
A nearly glabrous shrub about 4 m high, the branches terete, 
dark-colored when dry, the very young branchlets obscurely ap- 
pressed-pubescent. Leaves about 12 cm long, the petiole and 
rachis glabrous, the rachis in the upper part very narrowly 
winged or carinate; leafiets usually 7, oblong-elliptic to oblong- 
lanceolate, subcoriaceous, 5 to 7 cm long, 1.3 to 2 em wide, the 
upper surface olivaceous, smooth, glabrous or slightly pubescent 
along the midrib, the lower surface paler, glabrous or with very 
few, widely scattered, short hairs, narrowed above to the ob- 
tusely acuminate apex and below to the usually inequilateral 
and decurrent-acuminate base; lateral nerves about 6 on each 
side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, arched-anas- 
tomosing, the primary reticulations distinct. Infructescences 
axillary, paniculate, about 6 cm long, slightly pubescent. Sepals 
broadly ovate, rounded, 2 mm long, their margins somewhat 
ciliate. Fruits broadly obovate, equally 3-winged, the apex re- 
tuse and apiculate, about 1 cm long and usually slightly wider 
than long, glabrous, smooth, shining.
