culis terminalibus, solitariis, sessilibus vel breviter pedunculatis, 
2 ad 2.5 em longis, bracteis ovatis, subacutis, circiter 2.5 mm 
longis, deciduis ; fructibus ellipsoideis, 3 mm longis, spicatim dis- 
positis. 
A glabrous tree about 8 m high, all parts dark-brown when dry, 
the branchlets smooth. Leaves oblong-elliptic to oblong-obovate, 
rather thickly coriaceous, somewhat shining, of the same color © 
on both surfaces, 6 to 9 cm long, 2.5 to 4 em wide, subequally 
narrowed to the obtusely acuminate apex and to the acute base, 
the margins crenate or serrulate-crenate, the basal 1 to 2 mm 
entire; lateral nerves slender, distinct, about 15 on each side 
of the midrib, these equally prominent on both surfaces and about 
as distinct as the secondary nerves and reticulations; petioles 
5 to 8mm long. Panicles terminal, sessile or shortly peduncled, 
usually branched from the base, 2 to 2.5 cm long, the spike-like 
branches about 1 cm long; bracts deciduous, ovate, subacute, 
coriaceous, about 2.5 mm long. Fruits brown, ellipsoid, 3 mm 
long, numerous, sessile, subtended by a disk-like enlargment of 
the rachis about 1.5 mm in diameter, tipped by the conspicuous 
stigma. ! 
Luzon, Nueva Ecija Province, Mount Umingan, Bur. Sci. 26399 Ramos 
& Edaio, August 19, 1916, in forests, altitude about 400 meters, locally 
known as parukanak, 
A species allied to Ascarina philippinensis C. B. Rob., from which it 
is distinguished by its coriaceous leaves, much more numerous nerves which, 
with the secondary nerves and reticulations are conspicuous on both 
surfaces; all parts, stems, branches, leaves, and inflorescences brown when 
dry; its crenate rather than serrate leaves; and its shorter, deciduous or 
caducous bracts. The second species of this characteristic Polynesian 
genus to be found in the Philippines.

25, 1916, on slopes, altitude about 300 meters, locally known as pedped. 
The specimen agrees closely with the descriptions and with Indian 
specimens of this species and I consider it certainly to represent Lindley’s 
species. An older name is perhaps Englehardtia villosa (Wall.) Kurz, 
based in Juglans villosa Wall. Cat. (1831, or 1832) no. 4945, but Wallich’s 
name is a nomen nudum and has no standing. The species has not 
previously been reported from the Philippines.
