1494 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. IV, Art. 75 
scending, chartaceous, recurved at the obtuse to acute apex, ob- 
tusely rounded at the base, curing equally brown on both sides, 
entire, alternatingly scattered along the branchlets, elliptie, the 
larger blades 15 cm. long by 9 cm. wide, frequently smaller; 
midrib pronounced beneath, in the younger state cinereous but 
glabrate when old; lateral nerves 5 to 8 pairs, divaricate, slightly 
eurved ascendingly, similarly hairy at first, finally smooth and 
brown as the midrib, retieulations obscure; petiole yellowish 
gray lanose, 1 em. long, flattened and shallowly grooved on the 
upper side toward the base; ultimately becoming nearly glabrous. 
Inflorescence from the uppermost leaf axils, 5 em. long or less, 
paniculately branched from the middle, all yellowish or yellowish 
gray tomentose, flowers rather dense toward the distal end of 
the branchlets, their stalks usually subtended by minute bracts; 
pedicel up to 2 em. long, pulverulently woolly; the sepals nearly 
free, erect or ascending, thick, pulverulently woolly on the out- 
side, glabrous on the inner, 5, narrowly oblong, 2 mm. long and 
one half as wide, obtuse at both ends, more or less unequal in 
width but not in length; petals glabrous, quite thick, as long as 
the sepals, free and clawed toward the base, obovate, 1 mm. wide 
above the middle, apex irregularly rounded or usually somewhat 
split down from the apex; stamens 8, ascending and centrally 
curved; filaments also 2 mm. long, relatively thick, glabrous, 
unequal in length, obscurely compressed, anthers introrse, at 
least 0.5 mm. long, roundly elliptic; ovary densely hairy or shaggy;

Type specimen 12245, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, April, 1910. 
Collected in compact soil of shrubberies in flats at nearly 
250 feet altitude near mangrove extensions. 
It differs from D. timoriensis DC. in having a different calyx, 
larger and less acuminate leaves.
