2837 



serted upon the petals 1 mm from the base; filaments 2 

 mm long, also glabrous, obscurely compressed: anthers nar- 

 rowly oblong, as long, somewhat compressed, the connective 

 especially hairy along the outer side and produced into a 

 prominent 1.25 mm long point; ovary sparsely hairy, glob- 

 osely ellipsoid, 3 mm in diameter; style thick, terete, 7.5 

 mm long, strict, bearing a small flattened stigma. 



Type specimen number 1146 1, A. D. E. Elmer, Tcdaya 

 (Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, August, 1909. 



Collected in a densely moss laden humid forested flat 

 at 6750 feet of mount Apo. My Bagobo companion called it 

 "Marintok." 



Very near to number 1369 Williams the type of Adi- 

 nandra elliptica C. B. Rob. Named after the late Dr. C. 

 B. Robinson who lost his life in Amboina. 



Adinandra urdanetense Elm. n. sp. 



Lofty tree; trunk 12 dm through, 20 m high or higher, 

 its main branches arising from above the middle, terete, 

 wadded toward the base, somewhat crooked; twigs erect or 

 ascending, relatively short, the green apical portion dull 

 brown when dry, glabrous. Leaves alternate, similarly spread- 

 ing, rigidly coriaceous, also glabrous, deeper brown on the 

 upper side when dry, entire, flat or shallowly conduplicate 

 on the upper deeper green side, somewhat recurved, obtuse or 

 obtusely rounded at the apex, base cuneate, obovate or obovate- 

 ly elliptic, the larger blades averaging 6 cm long by one 

 half as wide above the middle; petiole 1.25 to 2.25 cm 

 long, caniculate, glabrous, blackish brown in the dry state, 

 easily separating upon drying, the leaf sides a trifle de- 

 current at the upper end; midrib prominent, grooved along 

 the upper side, similar beneath in the dry leaves; lateral 

 nerves 5 to 7 on each side, ascending, very obscure, cross bars 

 and reticulations obsolete. Flowers not seen. Fruits sube- 

 rect, lateral but usually just above the leaf axils, solitary 

 or in irregular whorls, subglobose or ovoidly globose, whitish 

 or very pale yellowish green, smooth, glabrous, 1.25 cm 

 thick, dark brown when dry, terminal, 2-celled, about 12
