NoveMBER 15, 1911] ADDITIONAL SPECIES OF ELAROCARPUS 1189 
Type specimens 10734 for flower and 11946 for fruit, A. D. 
E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, May 
and October respectively, 1909; also numbers 11712 and 11414 
. from this same locality. 
This like most all tree species in the tich, moist and sheltered 
mount Apo basin attains to an enormous size. It is universally 
known to the Bogobos as “Lanauti” although my field labels 
for the last numbers cited give the vernacular name as 
“Magsangod”’. 
Our young inflorescence is much more densely covered with 
yellowish gray wool than E. subglobosus Merr. from Benguet 
province of northern Luzon. 
Elaeocarpus microphyllus Elm. n. sp. 
A rather large tree; stem 7.5 dm. thick, 15 m. high 
or higher; branches crookedly spreading from the middle, 
ultimately numerously branched, the glabrous and greenish 
twigs usually in small groups from the same point; wood 
moderately hard, more or less burly, white or with a 
slight yellow tinge, odorless and tasteless; bark smoothish or 
lenticelled, yellowish brown and gray mottled, rather thick, 
yellow on the inner side. Leaves descending, folded upon the 
upper darker green surface, subchartaceous, copious, alterna- 
tingly crowded at the ends of the seasonal growths, dull greenish 
brown when dry, the slender acuminate or subeaudate tips re- 
eurved, glabrous, obtusely rounded at the base, entire, larger 
blades 7 em. long by 2 em. wide a trifle below the middle, frequent- 
ly much smaller, lanceolate or ovately oblong, margins wavy and 
entire or with only a few minute serratures above the middle; 
midvein conspicuous beneath, deep brown, smooth and shining; 
lateral nerves about 6 pairs, obscure, ascending, reticulately 
. united, reculations very minute and equally visible from both 
sides; petioles also glabrous, slender, nearly 2 cm. long. In- 
frutescence apparently young, profuse along the branchlets below 
the foliage; spikes 3 to 7 em. long, green and glabrous, divaricate; 
pedicels similarly arranged, mostly above the middle, less than 1 
em. long, terminated by a yellowish green rugose thickening; fruits 
ellipsoid, not exceeding 1.5 em. in length, shining dark green 
with lighter green spots, about 0.75 cm. across the middle.
