more or less puberulent and with very few scattered, appressed 
scales, becoming glabrous or nearly so. Flowers white, axillary, 
solitary, their pedicels about 1 cm long, more or less puberulent 
and with few appressed scales, below the flower bearing one or 
two lanceolate to oblanceolate, acuminate, coriaceous, pubescent 
bracts 5 to 9 mm in length. Sepals coriaceous, ovate, more or 
less pubescent or puberulent and with very few appressed scales. 
Corolla lobes oblong-ovate, about 12 mm long, 8 mm wide, retuse. 
Filaments and anthers each about 3 mm long. Ovary 4-celled; 
styles 4, free, about 6 mm long.

The species is distinguished by its thickly coriaceous leaves which are 
glabrous and dark-olivaceous above and brown beneath, the lower surface 
covered with a dense cinnamomeous, puberulent indumentum, and its 
solitary axillary flowers. It is not at all setose. It is distinguished from 
all the other Philippine forms with this type of indumentum by its solitary 
axillary flowers. 
SAURAUIA PANAYENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 7 m alta ramulis petiolisque furfuraceis et 
parcissime setosis, inflorescentiis puberulis; foliis oblongis ad 
oblongo-obovatis, chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, circiter 25 cm 
longis, glabris, acuminatis, basi acutis vel subacutis, nervis ut- 
rinque circiter 15, prominentibus; inflorescentiis cymosis, cymis 
fasciculatis, puberulis, 3 ad 4 cm longis, paucifloris, plerumque 
caulinis et in ramis vetustioribus; ovario puberulo, stylis 4 vel

A tree about 7 m high, glabrous except the younger branch- 
lets, petioles, and inflorescence. Branches brown, striate, glab- 
rous, the young branchlets furfuraceous and with very few 
appressed setae as are the petioles; leaves glabrous, oblong to 
oblong-obovate, firmly chartaceous to subcoriaceous, about 25 
cm long, 8 to 9 cm wide, shortly and sharply acuminate, base 
acute or subacute, sometimes slightly inequilateral, shining, the 
margins distantly apiculate-serrulate; lateral nerves about 15 
on each side of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing, the retic- 
ulations coarse, lax, prominent; petioles about 2.5 cm long. 
Inflorescence cymose, puberulent, the cymes fascicled, few- 
flowered, 3 to 4 cm long, cymes mostly fascicled from rather 
large tubercles on the trunk and larger branches, few in the leaf 
axils, the flowers white to slightly pink, the bracteoles very 
small. Sepals ovate, obtuse, the outer two about 4 mm long, 
somewhat puberulent, not at all setose, the inner three thinner, 
rounded, about 3.5 mm wide. Ovary ovoid, puberulent; styles 
4 or 5, free to the base, about 4 mm long, glabrous above, the
