1444 ` LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. IV, Arr. 72 
spreading and easily falling, cremeus, thick toward the broad 
base, the numerous veins obscurely seen, densely pellucid glan- 
dular except toward the membranous margins; stamens very 
many; the outer or longer filaments 2 em. long, the inner very 
much shorter, subcompressed, white, inwardly curved toward 
the apex, the basal portion closely contiguous, tips pointed; 
anthers 1.25 mm. long, oblong, dorsifixed between the bilobed 
sinus, pale yellow; style persistent, 1.5 cm. long, terete, succulent, 
whitish, the thinner apical portion usually curved; ovary top 
yellow, the smooth inner surface of the thick calyx rim reddish. 
Type specimen 121464, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, March, 1910. 
Collected in shallow soil with a gravelly subsoil upon a wooded 
bench along the Pauala river at 750 feet. The local Visayan 
call it “Banaba.” 
Judging from the venation of the leaves, Forestry Bureau 
number 12806 is E. vidaliana Elm. the type of which is only 
in mature fruit; the specimens collected by R. Rosenbluth 
in the same province are the flowering specimens of this same 
species. Our present new species therefore does not match 
either of them in leaf or flower character. In the field it was 
easy to distinguish it from my number 12108 collected in this 
same region and which I take to be typical E. robertii Merr.
