slightly longer then the filaments, narrowly oblong, up to 2.8 
mm in length, one cell obtuse, the other slightly longer, acute,

Leano (type), September 27, 1915, Sandkuhl 342, July 28, 1915, from the 
same tree. 
This tree grows along streams in the pine region at an approximate 
altitude of 1,300 meters. It seems to be most closely allied to Hlaecocarpus 
burebidensis Elm., of Mindanao, from which it is easily distinguished by its 
differently shaped, much longer-petioled leaves. This characteristic species 
is dedicated to the Honorable W. Cameron Forbes, ex-Governor of the 
Philippines, in whose honor Forbes Park at Baguio was named. 
GONYSTYLACEAE 
GONYSTYLUS Teysmann.and Binndendyck - 
GONYSTYLUS OBOVATUS sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 20 m alta, inflorescentiis exceptis glabra; fol- 
iis subcoriaceis, obovatis, usque ad 9 cm longis, apice rotundatis, 
leviter obtuse acuminatis vel retusis, basi late acutis, supra 
minutissime puncticulatis, subtus eglandulosis, nervis primariis 
utrinque circiter 20, quam secondariis haud magis distinctio- 
ribus; inflorescentiis terminalibus, solitariis, 4 ad 9 cm longis; 
fructibus junioribus longe pedunculatis, ellipsoideis, circiter 2.5 
cm longis. 
A tree about 20 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence. 
Branches reddish-brown, terete, rugose when dry. Leaves sub- 
coriaceous, obovate, 6 to 9 cm long, 4 to 7 cm wide, rather pale 
when dry, shining, the apex broadly rounded, sometimes retuse, 
or even slightly acuminate, the base broadly acute; lateral pri- 
mary nerves about 20 on each side of the midrib, evident on 
both surfaces but scarcely more‘distinct than are the secondary 
ones and the reticulations; petioles reddish-brown, 1.5 to 2 cm 
long. The upper surface minutely puncticulate, the lower 
eglandular. Inflorescences terminal and in the upper axils, 
solitary, apparently racemose, nearly glabrous at maturity. 
Flowers unknown. Fruits brown when dry, rugose, ellipsoid, 
about 2.5 cm long, the stout peduncles 2 to 2.5 cm long. Per-
