entire, 6 em. long, one half as wide across the middle; 
nerves 5 to 7 pairs, prominent beneath, puberulent but soon 
becoming glabrous, intramarginally united, reticulations plain; 
petiole 5 to 10 mm. long, puberulent; stipule 2, puberulous, 
2 to 3 mm. in length. Male inflorescence yellow, oblongish 
obovoid, 7 to 10 mm. long, 3 to 4 mm. wide, upon 1 mm. 
long axillary peduncle; flowers scattered among peltate and 
ciliate bracteoles and with spaces or interstices between 
them; perigonium 4-segmented; the segments obtuse, concave, 
imbricate, puberulous; filaments equal, with attenuate apices; 
anthers narrowed, terminal; female heads subglobose or oblong, 
4 by 6 mm. in size; peduncle 1 mm. long, covered with 
a yellowish brown tomentum; flowers supplied with peltate 
ciliate bracteoles or perianths; ovary ovate, style terminal and

This species is based upon Cuming's number 1078, collect- 
ed in the vicinity of Manila (probably some distance south- 
ward from this place on some of the dry hills). Very little 
known and aside from the type specimen it has only once 
been collected by Mr. Merrill along a roadside at Maragan- 
dang, Cavite province, Luzon. These specimens exactly match, 
and are not to be confused with A. zanthocarpa Merr.
