Leaves 3-foliolate, their petioles 9 to 12 cm long. Leaflets 
oblong-ovate to elliptic-ovate, coriaceous, entire, 13 to 15 cm 
long, 8 to 9 cm wide, apex shortly acuminate, base broadly 
rounded, pale-olivaceous when dry, both surfaces equally shining ; 
lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side of the midrib, prominent, the 
reticulations distinct; petiolules 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowers not 
seen, the infructescence at least 20 cm long, subferruginous- 
pubescent, the mature fruits 3.5 cm long, including the wings 10 
to 12 em wide, the wings brown, shining, elliptic-ovate, broadly

MINDANAO, Butuan Subprovince, Bur. Sci. 21511 Escritor, August, 1913,

Very characteristic on account of its relatively large leaflets and its 
very large fruits, the broad long wings being rather remarkable.

A scandent shrub, nearly glabrous (flowers unknown). 
Leaves 3-foliolate, the petioles about 8 cm long; leaflets broadly 
ovate, coriaceous, about 11 cm long, slightly acuminate, entire, 
base rounded or somewhat cordate, pale when dry, the lower 
surface bearded in the axils; lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side 
of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations lax, also prominent; 
petiolules 2 cm long. Panicles ample, in fruit glabrous. Fruits 
about 3.5 cm long, 3-winged, the lateral wings broadly ovate, 
coriaceous, rounded, shining, about 3.5 cm long and 3 cm wide, 
the other one much reduced, 1 to 1.5 em long and wide and 
confined to the lower one-half of the fruit, the opposite side 
with a mere keel, not at all winged. 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, Mount Maquiling, For. Bur. 7761 Curran

A species well characterized by its prominently reticulate leaves and its 
comparatively large, 3-winged fruits, the lateral wings very large, the 
other very much reduced, and the fourth represented by a mere ridge or 
keel.
