NovemMBER 15, 1911] ADDITIONAL SPECIES OF ELAEOCARPUS 1175 
segments nearly free and strigosely hairy on the outer side, 
lanceolate, 6 mm. long, 1.75 mm. wide below the middle or toward 
the base, glabrous on the upper side, in the dry state brown with 
yellowish margins, subpersistent; petals pure white, free, equal 
in number and length, densely hairy on the back, finely strigose 
or subglabrous on the inner side, cuneate in outline, usually 3-lobed 
nearly to the middle, each of the divisions segmented into 2 or 3 
curved and twisted glabrous lacinae, subhyaline and 3-nerved, 
2 mm. wide across the middle, the sides of the cuneate base usually 
rolled upon the upper side, set in between the glands which are 
yellow, conspicuous, finely and softly pubescent and usually 
shallowly grooved along the dorsalline; stamens about 20, erect, 
crowded and inserted upon the ovary ring of glands; filaments 
yellowish, finely scabrous, 1 mm. long, occasionally forked; sub- 
terete; anthers similarly colored except the greenish tips, linearly 
oblong, 2 mm. long, scaberulous, angularly terete, split at the 
apex which bears ciliate hairs or bristles, dehiscing apically; 
pistil 7.5 mm. long; ovary short, ovoid, densely hairy, whitish; 
style terete, fleshy, hairy below the middle of the same color, 
bearing a minute greenish stigma; fruits 2.5 em. long, 1 to 1.5 
em. thick across the middle, subpyriform or fusiform, irregularly 
terete, green, hard, containing a comparatively small sharply 
pointed and shallowly rugose stony seed; pericarp thick, with 
maturity aerugineus; main stalks occasionally branched. 
Type specimens 10819 for flower and 11769 for fruit, A. D. 
E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, June 
and September respectively, 1909; also number 10828 from the 
same locality. 
The flowering type was collected on a high open knoll cov- 
ered with bamboos and light woods at 3750 feet south of the Ba- 
ruring river; the fruiting type was collected on very steep or 
nearly precipitous slopes of the Sibulan river at 3000 feet altitude. 
Number 11769 the Bagobos call **Marintok" the other two num- 
bers *Lanauti". 
Number 10828 apparently has larger flowers than the type 
number, and is also more pubescent. Closely related to E. 
procerus Aug. DC. but leaves longer, less numerously crowded 
and much slenderer pointed toward the apex. Our flowers are 
smaller and their bracts are in proportion. The fruits of Aug. 
de Candolle’s species are not known.
