708 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY {Vou. II, Arr. 41 
white, odorless and tasteless; bark grayish brown, smooth 
or obscurely lenticelled, dark reddish brown beneath the 
epidermis; branches freely rebranched, ascending, the ultimate 
ones rather numerous, slender, green, olivaceous puberulent, 
more or less drooping. Leaves ovately oblong or the smaller 
ones broadly lanceolate, copious, alternatingly scattered along 
the branchlets, the larger blades 1 dm. long, nearly 5 cm. 
wide below the middle, broadly rounded aud inequilateral 
at the base, horizontal or descending, bright lucid green on 
the upper shallowly conduplicate side, glaucescent on the 
under subvelutinous surface, thinly coriaceous, the upper 
glabrous side very dark brown in the dry state, the entire 
margins subinvolute, the apical one half gradually tapering 
into the acute or acuminate point; midrib pronounced on 
the lower side, with 3 to 5 pairs of ascendingly arched 
lateral nerves, cross bars relatively faint; petiole 5 to 10 mm. 
long, densely olivaceous puberulent or pubescent. Inflores- 
cence greenish, axillary, ascending, 3 to 5 em. long, cymosely 
branched from below the middle, similarly pubescent; 
branchlets rather thin, mostly flowered toward their ends; 
flowers sessile, erect, yellowish green; calyx 3 mm. long, 
hairy, the lower one half turbinate; segments 1.5 mm. long, 
6, equal or nearly so, rather thick; stamens 9 to 12 with 
glands about the middle; outer anthers 2-celled and introrse, 
triangular, the inner ones apparently sterile, a trifle larger, 
auriculately lobed at the base, slenderly acute; filaments 
flattened, short, more or less hairy; pistils present; fruit 
ovoidly globose, 6 mm. thick, bearing at the apex a crown 
of short cinereously pubescent segments, otherwise subglabrous,

Type specimen 11737, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 
| Of this only one tree was seen in good well drained soil 
of a lightly forested ridge at 9500 feet, south of the Bar- 
uring river. The Bagobos call it "Magolumog". 
C. glauca Merr., but leaves thinner, always broadest below 
the middle, with fewer nerves; inflorescence not profuse, 
axilary, not exceeding the foliage. Its leaves are however 
similar to C. pallida Merr., but fruits very dissimilar.
