of the flowers; and the almost or complete absence of a style. It differs 

 from S. cihata in the broader leaves, which are rounded at the base- and 

 m the petals, ovary and style. It is further represented by the following 

 specimens : 6

4. SHOREA MALIBATO Foxw. in Leafl. Phil. Bot. 6 (1913) 1955. 



This is represented by the original collection from Agusan Province 

 Mindanao. The leaves resemble those of Shorea ciliata, but the fruit is 

 smaller and the long calyx-lobes have more numerous longitudinal nerves 

 For. Bur. 22786 Miranda, collected in Zamboanga Province, Mindanao, 

 August 17, 1914, under the name of guijo amarillo, has fruit which seems 

 to be intermediate between that of Shorea malibato and S. ciliata The 

 fruit is slightly larger than that of S. ciliata and the wings are those of 



5. malibato. 



5. SHOREA FALCIFEROIDES sp. nov. Yamban matibia (Zambales). 



Arbor magna. Foliis et f ructibus 5. falciferae similis sed foliis 

 majoribus et fructibus minoribus. 



A large tree with oblong to oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous leaves 

 which are glabrous or nearly so and dark green above, distinctly 

 lighter and finely pubescent beneath, 8.5 to 12 cm long, 3 to 6 cm 

 wide, rather abruptly blunt acuminate at apex, rounded at base; 

 secondary veins 12 to 14 pairs, occasionally with domatia in the 

 axils of some of the lower veins, tertiary veins not conspicuous ; 

 petiole 15 to 20 mm long, grayish pubescent, as are also the 

 twigs and the branches of the flower clusters. Stipules small, 

 deciduous. Fruit conical gray pubescent, tapering into the hairy* 

 persistent style, 7 to 8 mm in diameter and 7 to 10 mm tall. The 

 three long calyx-lobes 4 to 5 cm long, 10 to 12 mm wide, grayish 

 pubescent, oblanceolate, with 8 to 10 principal longitudinal veins 

 and numerous irregular cross-veins, the short wings 2.5 to 3 cm 

 long, 2 to 3 mm wide, oblanceolate, with about the same number 

 of longitudinal veins as the larger wings. Flowers unknown. 



Luzon, Zambales Province, Masinloc, For. Bur. 2566U Mayor, June 8 

 1916 (type). 



This form resembles Shorea falcifera Dyer but has larger and differently 

 shaped leaves, with a greater number of veins and smaller fruits. The 

 wood is said to be of very good quality and to be used for structural work. 

 6. SHOREA MALAANONAN (Blanco) Blume in Mus. Lugd. Bat. 2 (1852) 

 34; Foxw. in Phil. Journ. Sci. 6 (1911) Bot. 270. 

 Mocanera malaanonan Blanco, Fl. Filip. (1837) 858. 

 Dipterocarpus malaanonan Blanco, Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 312. 

 This species is still but little known. Blanco's description is not* a close 

 one and the material referred to this species presents considerable variation. 

 Other species that have been considered as belonging here are Parashorea
