This species like the others here described resembles Ormosia 
macrodisca Baker, but the seeds are not arillate. Among the 
Philippine species it is perhaps most closely allied to Ormosia 
orbiculata, but the leaflets are more numerous, subequally nar- 
rowed at both ends, acute at the base, and sparingly pubescent 
beneath along the midrib. 
ORMOSIA GRANDIFOLIA sp. nov. § Toulichiba, Macrodisca. 
Arbor circiter 10 m alta, inflorescentiis foliisque plus minusve 
pubescentibus; foliis circiter 50 cm longis, rhachibus productis; 
foliolis 7, terminalibus late obovatis, lateralibus ellipticis, 13 ad 
17 cm longis, subcoriaceis, apice abrupte obtuseque acuminatis, 
basi rotundatis, vel terminalibus acutis, nervis utrinque circiter 
8; leguminis ellipticis, 6 ad 7 cm longis, apice late rotundatis, 
valvis crassis, lignosis; seminibus solitariis ellipsoideis, cocci- 
neis, 3 cm longis, exarillatis. 
A tree, about 10 m high, the inflorescences, petioles, and leaf- 
lets on the lower surface more or less pubescent, the indumentum 
on the leaflets obscure. Leaves about 50 cm long, the rachis 
extended beyond the distal pair of leaflets; leaflets 7, the terminal 
one broadly obovate, the lateral ones elliptic, 13 to 17 cm long, 
8 to 10 cm wide, subcoriaceous, rather pale when dry, shining, 
the base usually rounded or that of the terminal leaflet acute, 
apex very abruptly and shortly acuminate; the lateral nerves 
about 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent; petiolules about 
1 cm long. Pods elliptic, 6 to 7 cm long, about 5.5 cm wide, 
apex broadly rounded, scarcely apiculate, the valves thick, woody, 
recurved, apparently one-seeded. Seed solitary, ellipsoid, scarlet, 
shining, somewhat rugose when dry, 3 cm long, 2.2 cm wide, 
slightly compressed, not arillate.

This species manifestly belongs in the same group as Ormosia 
orbiculata, but has much larger, differently shaped leaflets, which 
are somewhat pubescent beneath; differently shaped pods, which 
are broadly rounded and scarcely apiculate at their apices; and 
much larger seeds. The seed is not at all arillate. Ormosia 
basilanensis Merr. differs in its more numerous leaflets and its 
elliptic pods, which are broadly rounded at their apices.
