glabrous achenes about 2 mm long, the stigmas obscurely peni- 
cillate. 
LEYTE, Buenavista, near Jaro, in forests, C. A. Wenzel 857, in forests, 
altitude about 500 m, fruits pink. 
A species in the same group with Conocephalus acuminatus Tréc., but with 
larger, more numerously nerved leaves, and more ample inflorescence. 
It is also apparently allied to the species of Conocephalus described by 
Weddell, from staminate specimens, as Procris grandis, but that species 
has the leaves rounded or subcordate at the base. 
Var. OBTUSUS var. nov. 
A typo differt foliis orbiculari-ovatis, apice obtusis vel rotun- 
datis, vix acuminatis. 
Same locality, C. A. Wenzel 908, June, 1914.

Arbor parva partibus junioribus floribusque exceptis subgla- 
bra; foliis chartaceis, oblongis, nitidis, usque ad 12 cm longis, 
tenuiter acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque adscendentibus,

A tree about 6 m high, the younger parts and inflorescence 
more or less pubescent. Branches slender, terete, reddish-brown, — 
the branchlets, petioles, inflorescences and leaves on the midrib 
and lateral nerves beneath sparingly pubescent with brownish 
hairs. Leaves oblong to oblong-elliptic, chartaceous, pale-oliva- 
ceous when dry, shining, the upper surface glabrous, base acute, 
apex rather slenderly acuminate; lateral nerves 7 to 9 on each 
side of the midrib, prominent, rather sharply ascending, an- 
astomosing, the reticulations slender, subparallel; petioles 2 to 
38 mm long. Flowers in depauperate cymes or frequently soli- 
tary, the cymes 1 to 1.5 cm long, somewhat pubescent; pedicels 
about 5 mm long, with a single broadly ovate, 1.5 mm long 
bracteole at about the middle. Sepals broadly ovate, acute, 
pubescent, 1.5 mm long, generally reflexed. Outer three petals 
ovate-elliptic, 4 mm long, strongly reflexed, obtuse or acute, 
somewhat pubescent outside and near the apex inside; inner 
three petals about 6 mm long, somewhat spreading, long-clawed, 
the claw glabrous, about 3 mm long and 1 mm wide, the limb 
thickened, ovate, about 2.2 mm wide, puberulent in the upper
