NovEMBER 15, 1911] ADDITIONAL SPECIES OF ELAEOCARPUS 1173 
a trifle exceeding the sepals, 5 mm. wide above the middle, the 
upper one third divided into unequal setaceous and castaneous 
colored segments, inserted about the base of the disk; hypogenous 
rim densely hairy, rugose, yellowish; stamens toward 20, erect 
from the glandular disk; filaments nearly 1 mm. long, subglabrous; 
anthers 2 to 3 mm. long, linear, subterete, subscabrous, longi- 
tudinally ridged, split at the apex into 2 very short equal lobes, 
0.83 mm. thick, dehiscing terminally; ovary broadly conical, 
densely hairy, gradually tapering into the pubescent style svarcely 
longer than itself, toward the united apex glabrous. Fruits pen- 
dant, latericius fuzzy, short ellipsoid or subglobose, 3.75 em. across, 
exocarp green and dry; stony seed large, brown and shallowly 
rugose. 
Represented by number 12739, Elmer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, March, 1911. 
Here and there scattered in woods of shallow fertile soil 
with a gravelly subsoil at 250 feet altitude. The flowers, fruits 
and wood specimen were taken from the same tree, and our 
fruiting specimens are exactly like Merrill’s type number. 
Elaeocarpus cuernosensis Elm. n. sp. 
A low scrubby tree; branchlets smooth, terete, flexible, the 
leaf bearing portion ascending; twigs slightly strigose but soon be- 
coming glabrous. Leaves very numerous, ascending, chartaceous, 
deep green especially the upper side, dull brown when dry, some- 
what folded above especially toward the strongly recurved acumi 
nate tips, in the young state densely pubescent at least beneath, 
when old glabrate, the average blades 6 cm. long by 3 em. wide 
across the middle, alternatingly scattered along the branchlets, base 
obtuse, margins finely dentately serrate except near the base, ellip- 
tish; nerves 4 to 6 pairs, very oblique, only slightly curved, nearly 
as prominent as the midvein, tips anastomosing, with hairy glands 
in their axils, reticulations very fine and quite evident, all more 
or less softly strigose along the nerves beneath; petiole less than 
1 em. long, striate on the upper side, subolivaceous strigose but 
soon wearing glabrous; bud bracts acuminate, sericeous. In 
frutescent spike suberect, not exceeding 5 cm., subglabrous, 
from the lowermost leaf axils; fruits alternatingly scattered es- 
pecially toward the apex, ovoidly ellipsoid, shining, glabrous
