monoecious but are frequently dioecious. There are no floral 
or vegetative characters by which they may be distinguished. 
In this connection it is well to call attention to the fact that the 
drawing of the pistillate flower given by Pax and Hoffmann ° is 
erroneous in that the styles are shown as very short, obovate, 
and 3-toothed. In this species, as in C. luzonicum and all of 
the other indigenous ones of the genus found in the Philippines, 
the three styles are elongated and cleft nearly to the base into 
two long arms. In this character all of our indigenous species 
of the genus differ from typical Codiaewm, and a more natural 
arrangement would be their segregation as a subgenus or per- 
haps even their separation generically from Codiaewm. 
CODIAEUM MACGREGORII sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor parva, ramulis inflorescentiisque exceptis 
glabra; foliis lineari-oblongis, usque ad 30 cm longis, 3 ad 3.5 
cm latis; inflorescentiis @ usque ad 45 cm longis, cinereo-pubes- 
centibus; floribus 5-meris, sepalis dense pubescentibus; ovario 
dense hirsuto; stylis 3, bifidis, elongatis; capsulis dense hirsutis, 
obovoideis. 
A shrub or small tree, the young branchlets and inflorescences 
densely cinereous-pubescent with short subappressed hairs. 
Leaves glabrous, chartaceous, linear-oblong, 30 to 40 cm long, 
3 to 3.5 cm wide, their margins parallel, the base rather abruptly 
acute or cuneate, the apex acuminate; lateral nerves 20 to 30 
on each side of the midrib, spreading, anastomosing, distinct; 
petioles 5 to 8 cm long. Pistillate inflorescences up to 45 cm 
in length, solitary, subtended by an oblong, sessile leaf about 
10 cm long and 3 cm wide. Flowers rather numerous, race- 
mosely arranged, their pedicels 2 to 5 mm long. Sepals densely 
pubescent, oblong-ovate, acute, about 2 mm long. Ovary very 
densely hirsute; styles 3, glabrous, each cleft nearly to the 
base into two 5-mm long arms. Young capsules obovate, about 
7 mm long, rather densely hirsute with pale, stiff, spreading 
hairs.

This species is well characterized by its elongated, narrow, 
glabrous leaves and its rather densely pubescent inflorescences 
and hirsute capsules; the indumentum is entirely different from 
that of C. ciliatum.
