A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTACEJE. 351 



broadly oblanceolate, or rarely elliptic, 34-66 cm long, 9-21 cm wide. 

 the smaller measurements probably representing young leaves, at the 

 base broadly but very shallowly cordate, the least injured apices rounded, 

 the dried lamina brown on both surfaces but paler on the under surface; 

 primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 16-23, conspicuous, 

 usually with a few of the intervening veins nearly as prominent, cross 

 veins distinct, the finer venation distinct on the under surface but not on 

 the upper, a distinct submarginal vein present as well as a faint one 

 very near the margin, the latter sometimes hidden by the slightly revolute 

 margins.

 caulinis, paniculatis, tetrameris; foliis oblongo-cllipticis vel anguste 

 ellipticis, apice acuminatis, basi cordatis, breviter petiolatis. 



Flowers borne upon tubercles upon the stem, one to several panicles 

 6-8 cm long and r)-7-flowered from each tubercle, the peduncles and 

 pedicels glandular, the pedicels 9 mm to 2 cm long, quadrangular, each 

 having at its base a linear acute bract 2-4 mm long, and at its apex a 

 pair of lanceolate or ovate bracteoles less than 1 mm long: calyx-tube 

 broadly turbinate, about 1 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, or without the 

 greatly narrowed pseudostalk hemispheric; calyx-lobes 4, ovate, the 

 larger about 5 mm long and 1 mm wide, the smaller 3 nun long and 6 in in 

 wide; petals 4, ovate, somewhat acuminate, rounded at the apex, 9 mm 

 long, 7 mm wide; staminal disk thickened, stamens 350-400, the fila- 

 ments 5-10 mm long, dilated at the base, the anthers 0.7 mm long, 0.6 

 mm wide; ovary 2-celled, each cell containing several minute ovules; style 

 terete, 1.5 cm long. 



A tree 16 m high, its trunk 20 cm in diameter, the ultimate branches 

 distinctly 4-angled, and, especially near the apex, winged, more or less 

 swollen at the nodes, covered with gray or brownish-gray bark:. leaves 

 with red annulate-rugose petioles 4-8 mm long and 1-3 mm in diameter, 

 the lamina oblong-elliptic or narrowly elliptic, 15-29 cm long, 4.5-8 

 em wide, more or less coriaceous, shallowly cordate at the base, at the 

 apex forming an acumen about 1 cm long, olivaceous on the upper surface, 

 brownish-green and glandular-punctate beneath; primary lateral veins 

 on each side of the midrib 1-6-22. with a prominent vein 3-5 mm from 

 the margin, these veins visible on both surfaces but better on the under 

 where alone the fairly numerous transverse veins can he seen.
