MINDANAO, Bukidnon Subprovince, Mount Dumalupihan, Bur. 
Sci. 39001 Ramos & Edano, July 29, 1920. On forested slopes, 
altitude about 1,200 meters.

other characters it is easily distinguished by its very prom- 
inently glandular leaves, the black glands being conspicuous on 
both surfaces.

Luzon, Ilocos Norte Province, Mount Magatapan, Bur. Sci. 
33243 Ramos, August 8, 1918, on slopes apparently at an altitude 
of about 1,000 meters. The same species is represented by a 
sterile specimen from Mount Piao collected by Merritt & Darling 
in November, 1908. 
A species belonging in the group with Rapanea philippinensis 
Mez, but distinguished by its smaller, narrower leaves and by its 
conspicuously glandular-punctate fruits.

oblongo-lanceolatis, i in siccitate brunneis, nitidis, 3 ad 6 cm longis,
