lateral nerves about 16 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
scarcely anastomosing, the reticulations lax, obscure; petiolules 
stout, 1.5 to 2 cm long, opposite. Inflorescence narrowly pani- 
culate, up to 45 cm long, gray-puberulent, the branches distant, 
the lower primary ones 7 cm long or less, the upper gradually 
shorter, the flowers racemosely arranged. Flowers white, 5- 
merous. Calyx cylindric-cup-shaped, about 8 mm long and 7 mm 
in diameter, truncate, slightly contracted at the mouth, outside 
densely gray-puberulent. Petals 5, about 2 cm long, 3.5 to 4mm 
wide, thick, in anthesis somewhat recurved, densely appressed- 
pubescent outside, glabrous within, acute, keeled-thickened and 
somewhat appendiculate at the apex inside. Staminal-tube cy- 
lindric, about 1.5 cm long, 4 mm in diameter, the basal 4 to 5 
mm glabrous, somewhat angled and narrower than the pubescent 
upper part, appressed-pubescent inside, 5-lobed, lobes oblong, 
3.5 mm long, 2 mm wide, truncate, alternating with 5, linear, 
2.5 mm long teeth. Anthers 5, inserted at the base of the cleft 
between the large lobes, sessile, oblong, 3.8 mm long, included. 
Disk none. Ovary narrowly ovoid, pubescent, gradually nar- 
rowed upward to the cylindric, pubescent style, the style and 
ovary 15 mm long; stigma capitate; ovary 2-celled. 
LEYTE, Dagami, C. A. Wenzel 811, August 8, 1913, in forests, altitude 
about 60 meters. 
A very characteristic species of the section Pseudoguarea, entirely dif- 
ferent from all other Philippine forms. The entire, truncate, cup-shaped 
calyx, the large leaves, the 5-lobed staminal-tube, and the 2-celled ovary are 
characteristic features.
