the reticulations lax, slender, rather obscure; petiolules of the 
lateral leaflets 2 to 3 mm long, that of the terminal one much 
longer. Inflorescence in the upper axils and subterminal, uni- 
formly pubescent with short, rather closely arranged hairs, the 
common peduncles thick, flattened, about 5 mm long, each bear- 
ing at its apex 4 elongated racemes arranged in one plane; 
racemes up to 10 cm long, many-flowered. Flowers 4-merous, 
their pedicels slender, pubescent, 2.5 to 3 mm long, solitary 
or somewhat fascicled along the rachis. Sepals oblong, obtuse 
or subacute, 0.8 mm long, deciduous, leaving in fruit a disk- 
like base nearly 1 mm in diameter and bearing 8 marginal! 
glands. Petals elliptic, rounded, about 1.2 mm long. Stamens 
8; filaments 1 to 1.2 mm long; anthers heart-shaped, 0.8 mm 
long. Capsules oblong, narrowed at both ends, the base acute, 
apex acuminate, 4 to 5 mm long including the two styles, 1 to 
2 mm in diameter, uniformly pubescent with scattered, short 
hairs, the styles 1 to 1.5 mm long.

A species manifestly allied to Weinmannia luzoniensis Vid., from which 
it differs in its entirely glabrous leaves, but more especially in its much 
narrower, differently shaped leaflets which are only slightly toothed, 
strongly shining on both surfaces, and with slender, laxly arranged veins 
and reticulations. Several of the Philippine representatives of this genus 
find their closest allies (§ Leiospermum) in Polynesia, not in the Malayan 
region.

Branches subterete, very dark-colored when dry, slightly lenti- 
cellate. Leaves bipinnate, about 35 cm long, the petiole with 
a large gland near the base, the rachis with 2 or 3 smaller 
glands in the upper part; pinnae about 10 on each side of the 
rachis, opposite, the secondary rachises with glands in the upper
