Type specimen 9685, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, March, 1908. - 
This species was found on a steep densely wooded slope is 
of a deep ravine at 3500 feet. : 
In external characters it appears very similar to Randia 
mindorensis Elm., but the two pendulous ovules in each of e r. 
c the two cells place it very properly under Tricalysia. Dif- 
AR fers from T. tinagoensis Elm. in its smaller underneath pu- 
bescent leaves and in floral characters. i
