Inflorescentiis terminalibuB, brevibus, fioribus sessilibus in eapitulia 

 paucifloris racemose dispositis; calycis lobia inaequalibus, interioribus pro 

 rata magma; petalis -I, extorioribus saltern liberis: foliis coriaceis, elliptico- 

 oblanceolatia vol obovatie, baai acutis, margine revolutis, apice abrupte 

 obtuseque acuminatis; renis utrinque 10-12. 



Inflorescences terminal or snbterminal, 2-3 cm long, the 4-angled 

 racliis sometimes united with the branchlets, its branches short, terminated 

 by solitary or few sessile flowers: calyx-tube turbinate, 5-6 mm long, 

 4-5 mm wide at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes unequal, the inner 

 orbicular-ovate, 3-4 mm in diameter, deciduous; petals 4, at least the 

 outer free, 2 mm in diameter; stamens numerous, the filaments attaining 

 a length of 4 mm, the anthers orbicular-ovate, 0.5 mm long, conspicuously 

 gland-tipped; style 2.5 mm long; ovary thick-walled, 2-cclled, the ovules 

 few. 



A tree, its branches covered with grayish bark; leaves with petioles 

 8— 6 mm long, the lamina coriaceous, elliptic-oblanceolate to obovate, 

 3.5-0.5 cm long. 1.5—3 cm wide, the base acute, the margin revolute, the 

 apex abruptly contracted into an obtuse acumen 2-5 mm long; primary 

 lateral veins on each side of the midrib 10-12, elevated on both surfaces, 

 united by numerous conspicuous anastomoses, their apices forming a 

 definite vein about 1.5 mm within the margin, and a fainter one just 

 within the line of folding.

This separates into two distinct series, the Mariveles and Alindoro collections 

 going together, while all the C'agayan plants agree with that from Mindanao. The 

 latter are characterized by more coriaceous, fewer-veined leaves, and may prove 

 specifically separable. 



Local names Carutarf, Biracbac, both Negrito. Pango, C'agayan, all three from 

 that province: MaJuruhat, Mindoro.
