EAFI.ETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY 



[Vol. VIII, Art. 115 



cent; stigma flattish globose, 0.75 ram across, obscurely 

 rugose, glabrous. Fruits ultimately glabrous, pule green to 

 shining bright red, 1 cm in diameter, globose; its persistent 

 calyx constricted toward the articulate base, the 4 teeth 

 radially spreading, the whole of the calyx olivaceus hairy; 

 exocarp thin, 2-celled and 2-seeded. 



Type specimen numbers 13636 and 13940, A. D. E. 

 Elmer, Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, 

 Mindanao, August and September respectively, 1912. 



Collected both numbers in more or less compact red 

 soil mixed with stones on the forested ridge between Duros 

 and Cawilanan peaks at 3500 feet altitude. The former was 

 called "Condeman" by the Manobo and the latter "Mago- 

 tamoying" by the same native. One or two flowers were 

 still found on the first number cited and whose leaves 

 average larger than those of the other fruiting specimens. 

 This same species has elsewhere been collected in the Suri- 

 gao province and apparently it is common in the Surigao 

 peninsula.
