Endemic. 
Blanco’s description is imperfect, and in some respects erroneous, probably 
due to a mixture of material, as suggested by F.-Villar. 
2. Crudia subsimplicifolia sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, usque ad 10 m alta; foliis alternis, uni- vel bifoliolatis, 
foliolis oblongis vel elliptico-oblongis, subcoriaceis, usque ad 13 cm longis, 
basi acutis, apice admodum abrupte acute acuminatis ; racemis axillaribus, 
solitariis vel binis, quam folia brevioribus. 
A glabrous tree about 10 m high. Branches terete, light-grayish- 
brown. Leaves alternate, pinnate, sometimes with one leaflet, sometimes 
with two, but the leaflets when two never opposite. Petiole and rachis 
rather stout, about 1 cm long. Leaflets oblong or elliptic-oblong, sub- 
coriaceous, slightly shining when dry and paler beneath than on the 
upper surface, the base acute, the apex rather abruptly and sharply 
acuminate, the acumen 1 to 1.5 cm long; nerves 7 or 8 on each side of 
the midrib, anastomosing, the reticulations distinct; petiolules stout, 
about 3 mm long. Racemes axillary, solitary or in pairs, 6 cm long or 
less (young), glabrous, or with very few short hairs; pedicels short, 
about 1 mm long, each subtended by a small, slightly ciliate-hairy 
bracteole. Sepals 4, in bud 2 to 2.5 mm long. Stamens 10. Ovary 
densely hairy. 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, San Vicente, For. Bur. 4287 Klemme, June, 
1906, a specimen with immature flowers, altitude about 10 m. Locally known 
to the Negritos as Tambali. 
A species manifestly closely allied to Crudia bantamensis (Hassk.) (T'ouchiroa 
bantamensis Hassk.; Pryona bantamensis Miq.), differing in its sharply acuminate, 
smaller leaflets, and glabrous or nearly glabrous racemes which are shorter than 
the leaves. 
The oldest names for the genus are Apalatoa Aubl. and Touchiroa Aubl., but 
Crudia is here retained, following the list of nomina conservanda of the Vienna 
Botanical Congress. Prain notes that Apalatoa was based on a mixture of flowers 
of this genus and fruits of Pterocarpus.
