1.5 mm in diameter; style very short, stout; stigma depressed- 
globose or subdisciform. 
LUZON, Province of Camarines, Tamban River, For. Bur. 21211 (type), 
21217 Alvarez, April 1, 1914, forested slopes along streams, altitude 20 
to 100 meters. 
A species apparently belonging in the group with Santiria beccarii 
Engl., but well characterized by being entirely glabrous. It is probably 
most closely allied to the Philippine S. glabra Merr., from which it is 
readily distinguished by its larger, more numerously nerved, caudate- 
acuminate leaves and its longer panicles. 
SANTIRIA LAGUNENSIS sp. nov. § Eusantiria ? 
Arbor alta partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque leviter fur- 
furaceis exceptis glabra; foliis usque ad 20 cm longis, foliolis 
5 vel 6, oblongo-ovatis, integris, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, 
usque ad 11 cm longis, subcoriaceis, acuminatis, basi acutis ad 
rotundatis, nervis utrinque circiter 8; paniculis axillaribus, usque 
ad 7 cm longis, leviter ferrugineo-furfuraceis, e basi ramosis. 
A tree, apparently tall, glabrous except the rather densely 
ferruginous-furfuraceous tips of the branchlets and the slightly 
furfuraceous inflorescence. Branches pale-gray, terete, some- 
what striate, glabrous, the tips somewhat brownish. Leaves 
about 20 cm long, the leaflets usually 6, sometimes 5, oblong- 
ovate, subcoriaceous, pale and shining when dry, 8 to 11 cm 
long, 2.5 to 5 cm wide, entire, apex narrowed, rather prominently 
acuminate, base acute to rounded; lateral nerves about 8 on each 
side of the midrib, slender but distinct, anastomosing, the reti- 
culations lax; petiolules 7 to 10 mm long. Panicles axillary, 
about 7 cm long, branched at or from near the base, the branches 
few, the lower ones up to 2 cm long, the younger parts distinctly 
but minutely ferruginous-furfuraceous. Flowers 3-merous, the 
young buds globose, rather numerous. Young fruits globose, 
black when dry, 8 mm in diameter, the stigma lateral. 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, San Antonio, Bur. Sci. 20505 Ramos, Feb- 
ruary, 1913, forested slopes. 
Somewhat resembling Santiria nitida Merr., but the inflorescence entirely 
different. The species is characterized by its minutely furfuraceous, more 
or less ferruginous indumentum on the growing tips of the branchlets 
and on the inflorescence, otherwise quite glabrous.
