LEYTE, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 771, May 28, 1914, in for- 
ests, altitude about 500 meters, flowers flesh-colored. 
A species well characterized by its coriaceous, pale, prominently nerved 
leaflets in which the secondary veins and reticulations are entirely obsolete. 
It apparently belongs in the group with Dysoxylum latifolium Blume ac- 
cording to the arrangement of C. DeCandolle.
