3080 Leaflets of Philippine Botany [Vol. vin, Art. 121 



duncle somewhat compressed, arising from between the 

 broad stipular bracts, subtended by caducous lanceolate 

 elongated bract lobes, 5 cm. long, stout, densely covered 

 by tawny colored hairs, when in fruit nearly 8 cm. long 

 and almost glabrous; buds globose, the outer segments 

 sparsely pubescent toward the base; calyx lobes imbri 

 cate, coriaceous, pale green, formiug a cup 8 cm. across, 

 the basal ones smaller and ovately orbicular, the larger 

 ones more elongated, persistent, deeply concavo-convex 

 especially the inner ones; stamens very numerous, pale 

 white or yellowish tinged, divaricately spreading, the 

 linear anthers with terminal pores; pistils of the same 

 whitish color, rotately spreading over the stamens and 

 about as long, pointed toward the ends; petals obovate. 

 6 to 8 cm. long by at least one half as wide, broadly 

 rounded, more or less narrowed toward the base, rose 

 red, horizontally spreading over the calyx. Carpels green- 

 ish, wavy, twisted and recurved, fleshy, with sour juice, 

 tightly covered over by the thickened pale green harti 

 calyx segments, thereby forming a subglobose fruit 5 to 8 

 cm. in diameter. 



Type specimen number 18025. A. D. E. Elmer, Los 

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

 Juiy, 1917. 



Discovered only one tree of this red flowered variety 

 on the steep densely wooded southern slope of the socalled 

 crater. It was observed that all the flowers on this tree 

 were pink or like those of Neluvibium nelumbo (Linn.) Druel. 

 Other trees of the pure white flowered species of ' Di.l- 

 Unla reifferscheidia Vid. were common in the vicinity. 



ELAEOCARPACKAE 

 Elaeocarpus maquilingensis Elm. n. sp. 



A small suberect tree. Twigs numerous, lax, terete, 

 grabrate, often in subwhorls. Leaves copious, also gla- 

 brous, alternate, crowded toward the ends, broadly lan- 

 ceolate or ovately oblong, gradually tapering into cau- 

 date points, obtusely rounded at the base, upon very 

 slender 2 to 3 cm. long glabrous petioles, with a 

 glandularly thickened distal end. the larger blades 8 

 cm. long by 3.5 cm. wide, entire around the base and 

 along the apical point, otherwise rugose and distantly 

 apiculate, subcorUceous, shining above, pale green be- 

 neath; midrib with about 5 obscure ascendingly [curved 

 lateral nerves on each side, reticulations minute and in 

 the dry state more evident from the upper side. Infru-
