leaves on the lower surface more or less ferruginous-pubescent. 
Branches grayish to reddish-brown, terete, glabrous, the growing 
branchlets densely ferruginous-pubescent with short appressed 
hairs. Leaves coriaceous, lanceolate, brownish-olivaceous when

of the midrib, distinct, the reticulations very obscure or often 
obsolete; petioles 3 mm long or less; stipules lanceolate, acum- 
inate, about 8 mm long, connate below, deciduous. Male flowers 
axillary, sessile, fascicled, ferruginous-pubescent, usually 3 or 
4 in a fascicle, the bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 2.5 to 4 
mm long. Calyx-tube 3 to 4 mm long, the lobes 5, rarely 6, 
lanceolate, acuminate, 3 to 4 mm long, somewhat spreading. 
Corolla-tube about 1 cm long, the lobes oblong, 4 mm in length.

1919. MINDANAO, Surigao Province, Bur. Sci. 34613 Ramos

This species somewhat resembles Timonius longistipulus Merr., 
but its true alliance seems torbe with 7. valetonii Elm., from 
which it is distinguished by its entirely differently shaped leaves.
