Type specimen 9584, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuer- 
nos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, March, 
1908. 
A splendid appearing tree in humid forests at 4250 feet. 
Mrs. Clemens also collected flowers of this same species in the 
lake Lanao region of central Mindanao. Called by the Visayans 
""Tage-lelumboy." I take pleasure in naming this splendid 
tree after Mr. George Welborn of Cebu. 
Easily distinguished from the Luzon species by its larger 
flowers.
