their ends but not united, reticulations none; petiole 5 to 8 mm. 
long, slender, at first puberulent, finally glabrous. Fruits ample, 
sparingly branched, stalks from the lower leaf axils, pendulous; 
stalks pale green, glabrous in the fruiting state, 1 to 3 em. long, 
. sparingly and paniculately branched from the middle; fruit 
m greenish, terete, ovoidly oblong or conically elongated, smooth 
iF and covered with glutin, nearly 1.5 cm. long, 6 mm. thick near 
| the base, abruptly terminating into a slender usually recurved 
spinule; calyx lobes united at the base, dark green, snugly im- 
bricate about the basal portion of the fruit, 5 mm. long, thick, 
glabrous, the outer 2 extended into wings, the wingless segments 
obtuse; wings 2.5 cm. long, 7.5 mm. wide above the middle, 
suberect and oppositely crossed, obtuse at apex, narrowed toward 
the base, 5 to 7-veined, finely reticulate, usually curved some-

| Type specimen 12289, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
A Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, April, 1910. 
* Only one tree was found in a clay soil with a wet gravelly 
subsoil of wooded banks along the Pauala river at 750 feet al- 
~ titude. The Visayan of north Sibuyan call it *Malungai." 
This species is nearer to H. pierrei Hance than to the pre- 
ceding and can readily be distinguished from Beccari’s Borneo 
specimens in the leaf character alone; our glutinous fruits are 
much larger.
