prominent on the lower surface, nearly straight; petioles densely 
ferruginous-villous, 3 mm long or less; stipules inequilateral, de-

Razon, October 6, 1914, on slopes, altitude about 30 meters. 
A species entirely different from the other Philippine representatives 
of the genus, well characterized by its small leaves and its indumentum. 
Its alliance is with the Malayan Parinarium costatum Blume.
