tibus; inflorescentiis e ramis vetustioribus caulinis axillaribus- 
que, cymosis, paucifloris; stylis 4 vel 5, basi unitis. 
A shrub about 4 m high, the young branchlets, petioles, lower 
surface of the leaves on the midrib and lateral nerves more or 
less setose, the setae appressed or spreading, up to 3 mm long, 
the cymes also pubescent and setose. Older branches glabrous, 
terete, grayish-brown. Leaves oblong-obovate, chartaceous to 
subcoriaceous, shining, 14 to 22 cm long, 5 to 8 cm wide, apex 
shortly and abruptly acuminate, base narrowed, acute, the mar- 
gins entire or distantly and minutely apiculate-serrulate, the 
upper surface dark-olivaceous when dry, glabrous, or the younger 
ones with few setae along the midrib, the lower surface pale, 
prominently setose on the midrib, less so on the lateral nerves; 
lateral nerves about 17 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
the reticulations prominent; petioles rather densely setose, the 
setae more or less spreading, 1.5 to 4cm long. Cymes peduncled, 
axillary, on the larger branches and on the trunk, apparently 
numerous, furfuraceous-pubescent and more or less_setose. 
Flowers about 1.7 cm in diameter, the sepals ovate to obovate, 
the inner two about 7 mm long, 5 mm wide, nearly glabrous, the 
outer three slightly smaller, externally slightly setose and more 
or less pubescent, the setae less than 1 mm long. Corolla lobes 
oblong-obovate, about 7 mm long and 5 mm wide, inequilaterally 
retuse. Stamens about 25; filaments and anthers each about 
2.5 mm long. Styles 4 or 5, united for the lower 1 to 1.5 mm, 
the arms about 5 mm long. : 
LuzoN, Province of Isabela, near Ilagan, For. Bur. 6640 Klemme, March, 
1907, in open level forests, locally known as bahisudsud. 
A species characterized by its rather long petioles, its leaves gradually 
narrowed from about or from above the middle to the acute base, and its 
short, cymose, solitary or somewhat fascicled inflorescences which are 
borne in the upper axils, on the branches below the leaves, and on the 
trunk. The collector’s note reads: “most of the flowers come directly 
out of the trunk.” 
SAURAUIA LEYTENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex circiter 3 m altus, ramulis foliis petiolis inflorescentiis- 
que plus minusve setosis; foliis chartaceis, oblongo-obovatis, 
usque ad 25 cm longis, tenuiter acuminatis, basi subrotundatis, 
nervis utrinque circiter 12; floribus axillaribus lateralibusque, 
solitariis vel admodum fasciculatis, sepalis extus dense longe 
setosis; ovario 3-loculare, stylis 3, liberis. 
A shrub about 8 m high, all parts more or less setose, the 
branchlets and petioles densely so. Branches terete, grayish- 
brown, glabrous, the branchlets densely covered with appressed 
sharp setae, intermingled with shorter, subfurfuraceous scales.
