March 27, 1915] Two Hundred Twenty Six New Spkcies-II 2721 



tuse to rounded at the base; petiole glabrate when old, 1 

 cm long, flattened along the upper side and grayish; mid- 

 rib very prominent and yellowish beneath, impressed along 

 the upper surface, very dark brown and obscurely puber- 

 ulent beneath when dry; lateral nerves 2 to 3 on each side, 

 the basal pair arising 5 mm from the base and ascendingly 

 curved clear into the upper one third, the other nerves al- 

 ternating and arising from and above the middle, also as- 

 cendingly curved and extending into the apical region, all 

 tips becoming obsolete, cross bars faint. Flowers not ob- 

 served. Infrutescence terminal or from the uppermost leaf 

 axils, 1 dm long more or less, erect or suberect, very rigid, 

 the larger ones panieulately few branched, the smaller ones 

 very short branched and appearing spicate; the stalks an- 

 gular, stout, greenish when young, rusty tomentose but wholly 

 glabrous when old; fruits few clustered toward the distal 

 ends of the ultimate stalks, upon 3 mm long compara- 

 tively thick and similarly pubescent pedicels, subglaucous 

 green, hard, smooth, subglobose, the larger ones 1.5 cm 

 thick, the basal portion usually more pointed than toward 

 the apex, 1 -seeded, very numerous. 



Type specimen number 13604, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabad- 

 baran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, Aug- 

 ust, 1912. 



Upon a stony ridge of woods or forests strung with rat- 

 tans and other climbing species at 3500 feet altitude and 

 situated between Duros and Cawilanan peaks. The native 

 or Manobo name is "Bonay." 



Apparently related to Beilschmedia trinervia Merr. from 

 the lake Lanao region. C. V. Piper's number 294 from 

 Cabadharan is the same as the Lanao material. Our species 

 does not extend below 3500 feet altitude in our locality 

 and upon close examination there are evident a number of 

 distinctive characters. 



Cryptocarya mindanaensis Elm. n. sp. 



A middle sized tree; stem 7 m high, 2 dm thick, sub- 

 terete; wood soft, yellowish white, light in weight, odorless 

 and nearly tasteless; bark relatively thick, grayish brown
