base truncate, margin entire, 19 cm long, 11 to 12 cm wide, 

 secondary nerves 18 pairs; tertiary nerves parallel and reticu- 

 late, with stellate hairs; petiole 5 cm long. Young shoots and 

 seedling leaves ferruginous-hairy exceedingly like the same 

 parts in D. vernicifluus. Fruit much the size and shape of that 

 of D. marginatus, but more constricted at the top and with ridges 

 produced into membranaceous wings, as in D. grandiflorus 

 Blanco. Fruit 3 to 3.5 cm long and 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter, 

 the two long wings 15 to 17 cm long and 25 to 28 mm wide.

 Merritt, August 1908 (type.) The type consists of three mature fruits, 

 two young seedlings and one adult leaf, picked up under the parent tree. 

 There has been but the one collection. As always, where the material is 

 picked up under the tree, there is question of the accuracy of the diagnosis. 

 However, the collectors were very careful and it has seemed desirable to 

 give this collection a name. In 1911 * I published a note concerning this 

 apparently distinct form. 



17. DIPTEROCARPUS ORBICULARIS sp. nov. 



Arbor magna. Foliis suborbicularis vel obovatis, 9 ad 22 cm 

 longis, 6 ad 11 cm latis, acuminatis, basi cuneatis vel rotundatis; 

 nervis secondares 9 ad 12; nervis tertiariis parallelis vel reticu- 

 lars ; pagina superiore glabra, inf eriore pilosa. Fructus alatus, 

 alae membranaceae. 



A large tree with brownish tomentum on twigs, petioles and 

 underside of leaves. Leaves mostly suborbicular, some obovate, 

 9 to 12 cm long, 6 to 11 cm wide, with crenulate margins; apex 

 shortly and very bluntly acuminate; base rounded or cuneate. 

 Secondary nerves 9 to 12 pairs ; tertiary veins parallel and reticu- 

 late. Petioles 2.5 to 3.5 cm long. Twigs, buds, petioles, and 

 margins of leaves densely clothed with long pilose hairs. Upper 

 side of leaf glabrous, except for a few scattered hairs along the 

 veins. Lower surface very thickly covered with large stellate 

 hairs, many of which are set on the tertiary veins. The second- 

 ary veins and midvein are clothed, for the most part, with pilose 

 hairs. The secondary veins unite near the margin with a fine 

 intramarginal vein, which is very much the same size as the 

 tertiary veins and united with them. Fruit (immature) with 

 membranous wings as in D. grandiflorus Blanco. 



Luzon, Camarines Province, For. Bur. 21719 Peiias, Soriano and 

 Abellanosa, April 26, 1914 (type). 



This form differs from all other known species of the genus by the 

 orbicular or nearly orbicular leaves. 



There are found in the collections also the following sheets, which were
