PALAWAN, Mount Capoas, Merrill 9547, April 21, 1913, on steep talus 
slopes, lower limits of the mossy forests, altitude about 900 meters, — 
A very characteristic species readily recognizable by its prominently 
glandular leaves. 
GLYPTOPETALUM REMOTINERVIUM sp. nov. 
Frutex glaber 3 ad 5 m altus, ramis ramulisque teretibus; 
foliis olivaceis, oblongo-ovatis ad oblongis, chartaceis, usque ad 
17 cm longis, acutis vel brevissime acuminatis, basi acutis, mar- 
gine obscure crenulatis, nervis utrinque circiter 6, distantibus, 
supra impressis, subtus perspicuis, arcuato-anastomosantibus ; 
cymis axillaribus, depauperatis, pedunculatis, 3 ad 4 cm longis; 
fructibus circiter 8 mm diametro. 
A glabrous shrub 3 to 5 m high, the branches and branchlets 
smooth, olivaceous, terete, the latter 1.5.to 2 mm in diameter. 
Leaves oblong-ovate to oblong, firmly chartaceous, olivaceous, of 
the same color and slightly shining on both surfaces when dry, 
15 to 17 cm long, 5.5 to 6.5 em wide, narrowed above to the 
acute or slightly acuminate apex, base acute, margins usually 
somewhat recurved and obscurely and distantly crenulate; late- 
ral nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, distant, impressed 
on the upper surface, very prominent on the lower surface, 
arched-anastomosing about 1 cm from the edge of the leaf, 
the reticulations very lax, obscure; petioles 6 to 8 mm long. 
Cymes in the upper axils, depauperate, peduncled, 3 to 4 cm 
long. Fruits subglobose, about 8 mm in diameter, the pericarp 
white or pink, the seeds red, brown when dry, ovoid, about 6 
mm long. 
PALAWAN, Ewiig River, Merrill 741, February 15, 1903 (type), in forests, 
altitude about 300 meters. I am convinced that Filmer 13095, distributed 
as Euonymus alatus Elm. belongs here, although of it I have seen only 
leaf specimens. It is from the same general locality as Merrill 741, and 
has. nothing to do with Huonymus alatus Elm. which is a true Euonymus 
that I have below renamed Euonymus elmeri Merr. 
The species is well characterized by its relatively large, remotely and 
prominently nerved leaves, in its distinct nerves somewhat resembling 
Glyptopetalum euphlebium Merr., differing from that species in its much > 
fewer nerves, larger leaves, and smaller fruits. 
GLYPTOPETALUM EUPHLEBIUM (Merr.) comb. nov. 
Glyptopetalum marivelense Merr. var. euphlebium Merr. in Philip. 
Journ. Sci. 10 (1915) Bot. 322. 
The form that I characterized as a variety of Glyptopetalum marivelense 
Merr. I now consider to be specifically distinct. It differs from Glyptope- 
talum marivelense Merr. in its somewhat longer, relatively narrower leaves, 
alias ES Ste SR
