New Woody Plants from Mt. Maquiling 



3079 



pronounced beneath, sparsely strigose, with 7 to 10 pairs 

 of divaricate nerves whose ends are reticulately united: 

 interaxillary bracts 1 to 1.5 cm. broad and nearly as 

 long, foliaceous, entire or obscurely crenate. sparsely 

 pubescent on the outer side, constricted at the base, 

 deciduous. Inflorescence terminally clustered or from the 

 uppermost leaf axils, up to 1 dm. in length, severally 

 spicate from 5 to 8 mm. long cinereous stout stalks; 

 rachis slender, similarly pubescent; flowers whitish, usually 

 in small clusters, well scattered throughout the whole 

 length except the basal 1 cm. long pedunculate portion; 

 pedicels slender, 2 mm. long, soft hairy, subtended by 

 very small blunt bracts; calyx 0.5 mm. long, united 

 toward the base, pubescent, acutely 4 toothed; petals 

 nearly twice as long, oblong or subovate, glabrous. 0.75 

 mm. wide and 1 mm. long, roundly obtuse; stamens 

 about 8, the slender free filaments glabrate and 2.5 mm. 

 in length, inwardly curved in the early state; anther 

 orbicular, 0.5 mm. across, its cells nearly divided from 

 the apex toward the base or point of attachment; disk 

 coriaceous, glabrous; pistillodes hirsute. 



Type specimen number 18066, A. D. E. Elmer, Los 

 Ballos (Mt. Maquiling), Province of Laguna, Luzon. June- 

 July, 1917. In the summit regional woods. 



Apparently differs from typical Weiamannia luzoniensis 

 Vid. by its less chartaceous leaves, more pubescent and 

 longer filaments. 



DILLENIACEAE 



Dillenia reifferscheidia rosea Elm. n. var. 



A sturdy erect tree. Trunk 6 dm. thick, short, with 

 widely spreading limbs which are crookedly rebranched; 

 twigs rigid, 1 cm. thick, somewhat hairy when young. 

 Leaves alternatingly clustered toward the distal ends. 

 chartaceous, elliptic or somewhat narrowed toward the 

 base when young, coarsely and crenately toothed, apical 

 acumen 1 cm. long, paler green beneath and sublucid 

 on the upper surface, 2 by 3 dm. or much larger, entirely 

 glabrous when old; petiole very stout, 2 to 3 cm. long, 

 hairy in the early state and with deciduous obovately 

 oblong adnate stipules which are hirsute, caniculate, en- 

 larged at the base; midrib strong and ridged beneath, 

 sparsely hairy along the sides, with at least 16 pairs 

 of pinnate divaricate prominent nerves, the cross bars 

 evident from both sides when dry. Flowers terminal, 

 solitary or 2 or 3 from the same stalk, rose red; pe-
