presso-globosis, circiter 1.5 cm diametro, in siccitate brunneis, 
rugosis, 3- vel 4-locellatis, sepalis 4, persistentibus integris. 
A shrub or small tree 3 to 7 m high, quite glabrous. Branches 
terete, slender, straw-colored or yellowish-green. Leaves op- 
posite, chartaceous to subcoriaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 
pale and shining when dry, 7 to 13 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 em wide, 
subequally narrowed to the acute base and the shortly acuminate 
apex, the margins distinctly crenulate-serrate, the midrib very 
prominent; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, 
slender, laxly anastomosing, the reticulations slender, lax; peti- 
oles about 5 mm long. Inflorescence axillary, solitary, slender, 
usually forked near the apex, apparently few-flowered, up to 
10 cm long in fruit, the bracts in pairs, lanceolate, acuminate, 
about 1.5 mm long. Flowers 4-merous. Fruits depressed-glo- 
bose, brown when mature, about 1.5 cm in diameter, 3- or 4-celled, 
the pericarp coriaceous, wrinkled. Seeds 1 in each cell, attached 
near the apex of the cell, brown, about 8 mm long, the upper 
one-third surrounded by a thin brown aril. 
Luzon, Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles, Elmer 6644 (type), 
November, 1904, Whitford s. n., For. Bur. 2689 Meyer, February, 1905 
(the two latter with mature fruits): Province of Tayabas, For. Bur. 10306 
Curran, April, 1908. From this can scarcely be distinguished For. Bur. 
6457 Everett, from Cebu, February, 1907, and this specimen probably 
represents a form of the same species. In forests, altitude about 800 
meters. 
Duplicates of some of the above specimens were studied by me in the 
Kew Herbarium in December, 1907, and the memorandum then made was 
attached to one of the sheets in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science 
to the effect that the material represented a new species of Huonymus; later 
Mr. Elmer added the specific name marivelensis (sub. Euonymus) to our 
specimen of his No. 6644. A further study of the material leads me to 
consider that the species should be treated under the genus Glyptopetalum.
