of the branchlets. The leaves appear after the flowers, and with the 
growth of the branchlet the panicles in fruiting stage become lateral, 
being situated in the axils of fallen leaves below the terminal crown of 
leaves. 
The species is known in Tayabas as libas (Tagalog); in Masbate and 
Cebu as bogo (Visayan), and in Mindoro as abilo (Tagalog), the last 
name more usually applied to Garuga abilo (Blanco) Merr.

The specimen is in fruit, but in all essential characteris it appears to 
be like the species, differing only in its fewer leaflets. A specimen from 
Balabac Island, with flowers only, no leaves, may be referable here, Bur.

minusve puberulis; foliolis inaequilateralibus, oblongo-lanceo- 
latis, usque ad 10 cm longis, 3 cm latis distincte acuminatis, 
basi oblique rotundatis, margine distincte regulariterque crenato- 
dentatis; floribus ignotis; paniculis sub fructu axillaribus,

obovoideis, nigris, circiter 1 cm diametro. 
A tree about 30 m high, subglabrous, or somewhat gray-puber- 
ulent. Branches reddish-brown, glabrous, about 5 mm in dia- 
meter. Leaves crowded at the apices of the branchlets, 35 to 
40 cm long, the rachis usually black when dry, somewhat puber- 
ulent. Leaflets opposite or subopposite, lanceolate or oblong- 
lanceolate, chartaceous, straight or slightly falcate, the median 
ones 8 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 3 cm wide, the upper and lower ones 
somewhat smaller, the base strongly inequilateral, rounded on 
one side of the midrib, acute on the other, the apex prominently 
acuminate, the acumen about 1 cm long, blunt, the margins 
distinctly and regularly crenate-dentate, the upper surface quite 
glabrous, shining, the lower very slightly paler, glabrous or 
with few soft hairs; nerves about 13 on each side of the midrib, 
distinct; petiolules about 2 mm long, usually puberulent. 
Flowers unknown. Fruiting panicles axillary, peduncled, about
