arly equal, broadly obovate, abruptly contracted into a short 
claw at the base, conspicuously nerved, about 15 mm. long, 10 
mm. wide; stamens 10, all fertile, subequal, about 15 mm. 
long; filaments tapering from the base to the apex, flattened, 
woolly except near the pointed apex which is of a deep

. Type specimen 8720, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio, Province
