hairy, ultimately glabrous; nerves 6 on each side of the midrib, distinct, 

 spreading-ascending, slightly curved, their axils not glandular, the re- 

 ticulations indistinct; petioles 1 to 2 em long, when young pubescent, 

 ultimately glabrous. Racemes numerous, 5 to 7 cm long, on the branches 

 below the leaves, the rachis and pedicels more or less pubescent, in fruit 

 becoming quite glabrous; pedicels about 5 mm long. Sepals lanceolate, 

 acuminate, 5 mm long, 1.2 mm wide, with very few scattered hairs on 

 the back or glabrous, the margins densely pubescent. Petals as long as 

 the sepals, the upper one-third or one-half lacerate, base narrowed, 

 glabrous or with few scattered hairs on the back and especially at the 

 base. Stamens about 12 j anthers 1.8 mm long, cells equal, blunt, not 

 apiculate or ciliate. Ovary ovoid, glabrous, 3-celled; style 2 mm long, 

 glabrous. Disk pubescent. Fruit ellipsoid about 2 cm long, 1-celled,

A species allied to Flaeocarpus cumingii Turzc. but readily distinguished by its 

 glabrous ovaries and vegetative cbaracters. 



Elaeocarpus luzonicus sp. now § Monocera. 



Arbor eirciter 15 m alta, glabra, racemis exceptis ; foliis subcoriaceis, 

 oblongo-lanceolatis, usque ad 7 cm longis, nitidis, apice acuminatis, basi 

 cuneatis, margine crenatis, subtus in axillis glandulosis; racemis axil- 

 laribus, pubescentibus, folia aequantibus vel longioribus; petalis oblongo- 

 obovatis, supra simpliciter limbriatis, extus leviter argenteo-pubescentibus; 

 staminibus eirciter 24, cellulis antherae inaequalibus, posticis apiculatis, 

 vix ciliatis: ovarium 2-loculare. 



A tree about 15 m high, glabrous throughout except the inflorescence. 

 Branches terete, brown or grayish, not or but obscurely lenticellate. 

 Leaves subcoriaceous oblong-lanceolate, or sometimes elliptic-lanceolate. 

 5 to 7 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, shining, beneath sometimes subglaucous, 

 the apex shortly, or sometimes rather long-acuminate, acumen obtuse, 

 base cuneate, margins crenate; nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, 

 distinct, the axils beneath mostly prominently glandular; petioles 1 to 

 1.4 cm long. Racemes axillary, solitary, 6 to 8 cm long, the rachis and 

 pedicels appressed-pnbescent with pale, often shining hairs, the pedicels 

 5 to 6 mm long. Sepals lanceolate, 5 to 6 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, thin. 

 sparingly appressed-silvery-pubescent outside, the keel within, and the 

 margins white-villous. Petals thin, oblong-oboyate the upper one-third 

 simplv fimbriate, 6 to T mm long, the back appressed-silvery-pubescent, 

 the margins and lower part of the inner surface white-villous. Stamens 

 about 24: anthers scabrid, 2 to 2.5 mm long, one cell slightly longer than
