of the same color, brownish and shining on both surfaces, en- 
tirely glabrous, the base broadly rounded, the apex acuminate, 
the margins entire or somewhat undulate, or even obscurely un- 
dulate-toothed in the upper part; nerves 6 on each side of the 
midrib, prominent, the reticulations slender, but distinct; petioles 
2 to 2.5cm long. Panicles terminal, pyramidal, uniformly pubes- 
cent, about 25 cm long, the branches scattered, the lower ones 
10 cm long. Flowers not seen. Fruit orbicular in outline (lat-

The species is locally known as malacayan a name applied also to other 
unrelated species, and is allied to Columbia longipetiolata Merr. of Luzon, 
from which it differs in its entire or nearly entire leaves. The fruit is red 
when fresh, the bark very tough and stringy as in other species of the 
genus, and the wood has a slightly pungent odor.

This species is widely distributed, extending from Japan and China to 
the mountains of India, Ceylon, and Sumatra. The Philippine material, 
while variable, agrees rather closely in all essential characters with speci- 
mens from Japan, Ceylon, and China. The species described by Mr. Elmer 
as Adinandra coriacea is a typical Ternstroemia in all respects.
