Novemesr 3, 1908] Six UNDESCRIBED SPECIES oF MACARANGA 433 
gradually thickened toward the base; anthers light yellow, 4- 
lobed, peltately attached, 0.5 mm. across; pistillate flowers 
not seen. 
Type specimen 8558, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio, Province 
of Benguet, Luzon, March, 1907. 
In limestone basins of the pine region at 5000 feet. It 
is called ‘‘Anitab’’ by the Igorrotes. Named after Mr. A. Loher, 
who has made a splendid collection of Philippine plants and 
discovered many novelties. 
Evidently it is very closely related to M. cumingii Muell. 
Arg. based on ^Cwming's number 1100 which has a pair of 
large glands at the base of the leaf on the upper side; 
flowers much smaller and inflorescence finer. It can further 
be distinguished by the conspicuous bracts svbtending the 
staminate clusters. Staminate specimen number 9197 Elmer 
from Lucban, May, 1907, was distributed under M. loheri 
Elm., but which, excepting the basal pair of glands, is 
a close match to 1100 of Cuming’s collection. Doubtless 
the pistillate flowers and mature fruits will reveal other 
distinctive characters.

grooved side usually transversely cracked; nerves beneath ma- 
roon color, 9 to 12 on each side, aang, parallel, ob-

Infrutescence scattered along the leaf bearing portion of the twigs,
