NEW OR NOTEWORTHY PHILIPPINE PLANTS, VIII. 193 
very small subglandular teeth; petioles 1 to 8 cm long; lateral nerves 10 
to 12 on each side of the midrib, rather distinct, the reticulations -lax. 
Inflorescence axillary, shorter than the leaves, of racemosely arranged 
cymes, the staminate and pistillate similar. Pistillate flowers white, 
ample, their pedicels 7 to 10 mm long. Calyx of five free sepals, im- 
bricate, elliptic-ovate, rounded, often slightly retuse, glabrous, 1.2 to 2 
em long, 6 to 12 mm_wide, reticulate, apparently persistent. Petals 5, 
imbricate, broadly elliptic-ovate, about 10 mm long, 8 mm wide, apex 
rounded, not reticulate or nerved. Disk small. Staminodes none. 
Ovary glabrous, longitudinally’ 3-sulcate, the lobes rounded, 3-celled, each 
cell with a single ovule; styles 3, free, about 5 mm long, each cleft 
half way to the base into two divergent arms. Staminate flowers smaller 
than the pistillate ones. Calyx 5 to 6 mm long, cleft into five elliptic- 
oblong, imbricate, obtuse lobes about 3 mm long and 2 to 2.5 mm wide. 
Petals 5, free, imbricate, oblong-elliptic, rounded, 7 to 8 mm long, 4 mm 
wide. Disk-glands 5, prominent, white, 1.5 to 2 mm long. Stamens 
15, the filaments all more or less united into a column, the interior ones 
very short, the outer five longer and nearly free, these outer ones about 
3.5 mm long, the free portions of the inner ones progressively shorter ; 
anthers introrse. Rudimentary ovary none.

ILEX Linn. 
Ilex foxworthyi sp. nov. § Thyrsoprinus, Indico-Malaicae. 
Arbor inflorescentiis exceptis glabra, circiter 8 m alta; foliis ovatis 
vel elliptico-ovatis, coriaceis, usque ad 9 cm longis, nitidis, subtus obscure 
minutissime dense puncticulatis et punctis majoribus sparsis intermixtis, 
nervis utrinque circiter 7; racemis axillaribus, solitariis, in alabastro 
circiter 3 cm longis, puberulis, floribus femineis 5- vel 6-meris. 
A tree about 8 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches 
gray, terete, wrinkled when dry, not lenticellate. Leaves ovate to 
elliptic-ovate, coriaceous, shining, brown or olivaceous when dry, and 
slightly paler beneath, the margins recurved, entire, 4 to 9 cm long, 
2.5 to 5 em wide, the lower surface very minutely, obscurely, and densely 
puncticulate, and with scattered larger points, the latter not prominent, 
the apex shortly blunt-acuminate, base rather broad, acute; nerves 
about 7 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, slender, obscurely 
anastomosing, the reticulations lax, about as distinct on the upper sur- 
face as on the lower; petioles 1 em long or somewhat less on the smaller 
leaves. Pistillate flowers racemose, the racemes axillary, solitary, simple, 
in bud 3 cm long or less, puberulent, some flowers also occurring solitary
