710 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. II, Arr. 41 
A splendid tree in moist soil of a humid forested basin 
at 3250 feet, along the trail from Todaya to Talon. '*Ca- 
pingan" is the Bagobo name given for both specimens. 
Apparently its nearest. mr is C. ilocano Vid., but 
not at all that species. : ʻi

gradually tapering to the slender caudate apex, base round-

. Type specimen 12287, 4. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz; Island of Sibuyan, April, 
1910. 
Found in reddish soil with a gravelly subsoil of wooded 
banks along the Pauala river at 750 feet. ''Magatopoy" is 
the local Visayan name. 
This may be considered a variety or even a form of C. 
acuminata Merr., but leaves on our specimens profuse, on the 
whole much narrower and tips slenderly caudate.
