faint line, reticulations obsolete; petiole comparatively covered 
with yellowish white strigose hairs. Infrutescence from the 
terminal or uppermost leaf axils, solitary or few cluster- 
: ed; peduncle very slender, 1 cm. long, divaricate and usually 
curved, subtended at the base by a subwhorl of unequal bracts, 
in the early state cinereous, prominently papillose, bearing a 
small cluster of fruits at the distal end; fruit ovoidly globose, 
sessile or subsessile, few clustered from the ends of the stalks, 
5 mm. long, nearly as wide across the base, smooth, wine red 
when mature, crowned at the apex by 4 persistent glandular 
calyx teeth; segments 1.5 mm. long, obtuse, finely cinereous; 
stamens 15 to 20, unequal in length; filaments thread-like, 
golden yellow, glabrous, the longer ones 7.5 mm. long, abruptly 
expanded at the base, nearly straight and persistent; anthers 
dorsifixed, 0.25 mm. across, subglobose, the 2 cells well separated 
in anthesis, paler yellow; petals also 4, thin, obovate, narrowed 
into a basal claw, yellow, deciduous, few glandular punctate; 
style 5 to 6 mm. long, terete, fleshy, yellowish, bearing a small

v Type specimen 11253, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Distriet of Davao, Mindanao, August, 1909. 
On a moss laden forested ridge of mount Burebid at 3500 
feet altitude. The Bagobos call it “Tonau.” 
Our specimens are matched by Copeland 1186 from mount 
Apo and with specimen marked “A” from mount Silay collected 
by Whitford. It is a critical segregate from E. diplycosifolia 
C. B. Rob. which species is abundant in the mount Apo region 
and is also known to the Bagobos by the same name. Our 
branchlets are lax and more slender; leaves thinner with less 
revolute margins, less conspicuously nerved and their ends more 
tapering especially toward the apex; stamens longer and seeds 
much more numerous.
