middle, sparingly rebranched; wood rather hard, dingy white 
or brownish, odorless and tasteless; bark brown, smooth or flaking 
in thin plates; twigs subdrooping, green, angled; leaves also droop- 
ing, flat or only their tips recurved, shining, coriaceous, the upper 
side a trifle darker; the pendulous inflorescence more or less 
concealed by the terminal pair of leaves, possessing a skunk

anthers are paler green than the filaments. 
Represented by number 12112, Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Sibuyan, March, 1910. 
Collected in moist clay along a wooded streamlet at 750 
feet altitude near the Pauala river. 
Not typical Palawan material and at first it was considered 
by me as a variety.
