A species manifestly allied to Cynometra ramiflora Linn., from which 
it is at once distinguishable by its distinctly elongated petiolules. 
RUTACEAE 
GLYCOSMIS Correa 
GLYCOSMIS PLATYPHYLLA sp. nov. 
Frutex circiter 2 m altus, inflorescentiis leviter ferrugineo- 
pubescentibus exceptis glaber; foliis 2- vel 3-foliolatis, foliolis 
coriaceis vel subcoriaceis, usque ad 18 cm longis et 9.5 cm latis, 
breviter late obtuseque acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis primariis 
utrinque 5 ad 7, subtus perspicuis, laxis, cum costa in siccitate 
. brunneo-rubris; inflorescentiis laxis, pedunculatis, subcorymbo- 
sis, usque ad 10 cm longis, floribus 4- vel 5-meris. 
A shrub about 2 m high, glabrous except the somewhat ferru- 
ginous-pubescent inflorescence. Branches and branchlets terete, 
brownish or reddish-brown when dry, slender. Leaves 2- or 
3-foliolate, the petiole and rachis 2.5 to 5 cm long. Leaflets 
coriaceous or subcoriaceous, greenish-olivaceous and shining 
when dry, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, the larger ones up to 18 cm 
long and 9.5 cm wide, smaller ones on the same branches 7 to 13 
cm long, 3.5 to 5 cm wide, broadly and obtusely short-acuminate, 
base acute, sometimes a little inequilateral; primary lateral 
nerves 5 to 7 on each side of the midrib, beneath reddish-brown 
when dry, prominent, curved, arched-anastomosing, the reti- 
culations lax, slender, prominent; petiolules 5 to 8mm long. In- 
florescences in the uppermost axils, subcorymbose, peduncled, 
appressed-pubescent with short ferruginous hairs, up to 10 cm 
in length, lax, the flowers greenish-white, crowded on the ulti- 
mate branchlets, 4- or 5-merous. Calyx-teeth 4 or 5, rounded, less 
than 0.5 mm long. Young petals elliptic, rounded, concave, at 
least 2 mm long, externally very slightly pubescent. 
LeyTE, Tigbao, near Tacloban, Wenzel 1611, August 23, 1915. 
A species manifestly allied to Glycosmis cochinchinensis (Lour.) Pierre, 
and perhaps even referable to it under a very broad interpretation of 
specific limits. In its very large leaflets; lax prominent nerves which are 
reddish-brown when dry; and lax, peduncled, elongated inflorescences it 
appear to be sufficiently distinct to warrant separation from the above 
polymorphous species.
