This species is apparently most closely allied to Sterculia spa- 
tulata Warb. of the Sulu Archipelago, from which it differs in 
its more-numerous lateral nerves and apparently also in the 
specialized leafless branchlets which are terminated by a crown 
of narrowly lanceolate brown bracts subtending the panicles. 
SAURAUIA Willdenow 
SAURAUIA AGAMAE sp. nov. 
Frutex perspicue adpresse-setosus; foliis chartaceis, oblongis 
ad oblongo-lanceolatis, usque ad 20 cm longis, basi acutis, apice 
tenuiter subcaudato-acuminatis, subtus adpresse-setosis; nervis 
utrinque 15, perspicuis; inflorescentiis cymosis, 7 ad 10 em 
longis, lateralibus fasciculatis, terminalibus solitariis, dense ad- 
presse-setosis, bracteis linearis, 4 ad 10 mm longis; sepalis 
extus dense adpresse-setosis ; staminibus 20; ovario glabro; stylis 
3, liberis. 
A shrub 1 to 1.5 m high, the branchlets, petioles, leaves on 
the lower surface, and the inflorescences conspicuously appressed- 
Setose, the upper surface of the leaves glabrous except the 
appressed-setose midrib. Leaves chartaceous, oblong to oblong- 
lanceolate, 13 to 20 cm long, 4 to 7 em wide, narrowed below to 
the acute base and above to the slenderly subcaudate apex, the 
margins somewhat spinulose-setose, the upper surface shining, 
grayish olivaceous when dry; lateral nerves about 15 on each 
side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, somewhat 
curved, scarcely anastomosing, the reticulations distinct, the 
setae on the lower surface mostly confined to the midrib, nerves, 
and reticulations; petioles 1 to 3 cm long, ultimately becoming 
nearly glabrous. Inflorescences cymose, peduncled, in lateral 
fascicles on the older branches and sometimes also terminal, 
when terminal usually if not always solitary, 7 to 10 cm long, 
rather many-flowered, lax, rather densely appressed-setose and 
also pubescent, the indumentum pale brownish; bracts linear, 
setose, up to 1 cm in length. Flowers white, their pedicels 4 to 
10 mm long. Sepals oblong to oblong-ovate, acute, 3 to 4 mm 
long, the outer 3 densely setose, the inner 2 narrower and with 
glabrous margins. Petals 5, oblong, about 6.5 mm long, 3 mm
