reticulis laxis; fructibus ovoideis vel ellipsoideis, 1.5 cm longis, 
4-locellatis, pericarpio crustaceo, valvis 8, lanceolatis, utrinque 
aequaliter angustatis, acutis vel acuminatis. 
A tree about 8 m high, entirely glabrous, (flowers unknown). 
Branches terete, brownish, glabrous. Leaves thickly coriaceous, 
faleate, strongly shining on both surfaces, brownish to yellowish- 
brown when dry, acuminate, base acute, up to 13 cm long, 3 to 4.5 
cm wide; lateral nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, prom- 
inent on the lower surface, curved, brownish, obscurely anasto- 
mosing, the reticulations slender, lax; petioles 3 to 4 mm long. 
Flowers fascicled, pedicelled, 5-merous (?), the perianth segments 
very short, the pedicels in fruit 3 to 4mm long. Mature fruit red, 
ovoid to ellipsoid, acute at both ends or the base somewhat 
rounded, 1.5 cm long, 4-celled, composed of 8 lanceolate crusta- 
ceous valves which are equally narrowed at both ends, acute or 
acuminate, pale or pink when dry, the younger ones crowned by 
a cylindric stylar column about 1 mm long.

A species apparently belonging in the same group with, and allied to, 
Glochidion subfalcatum Elm., but with much fewer nerved leaves. In 
vegetative characters it greatly resembles Glochidion macrocarpum Blume, 
but its fruits are quite different from those of that species.

Frutex vel arbor parva, monoica, omnibus partibus prominente 
ciliato-hirsutis; foliis ovatis ad oblongo ovatis, firmiter char- 
taceis vel subcoriaceis, usque ad 10 cm longis, brunneis, utrinque 
ciliato-hirsutis, base late rotundatis, plus minusve inaequilatera- 
libus, apice acute acuminatis apiculatisque; nervis lateralibus 
utrinque circiter 6, prominentibus, reticulis laxis; floribus ¢ 
fasciculatis, pedicellatis, hirsutis, 6-meris; staminibus 3, antheris 
connatis, cum connectivo 2 mm longis; floribus ¢ sessilibus, 5- 
meris, 5 mm longis, columna stylaris cylindraceis, puberulis. 
A shrub or small tree, monoecious, prominently ciliate-hirsute 
with rather stiff, spreading, brownish hairs. Branches terete, 
gray or brownish, glabrous, the branchlets densely brown-ciliate. 
Leaves ovate to oblong-ovate, brown when dry, somewhat shin- 
ing, the lower surface paler than the upper, 5 to 10 ecm long, 
2.5 to 4.5 cm wide, rather slenderly and sharply acuminate, the 
acumen apiculate, base broadly rounded, distinctly inequilateral, 
both surfaces ciliate-hirsute with spreading, pale or brownish, 
scattered hairs, those on the lower surface mostly on the midrib 
and lateral nerves; lateral nerves about 6 on each side of the
