1504 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY (Vor. IV, Arr. 75 
spreading, glabrous, the stalks as well as the leaf petioles smooth 
and reddish, as long or longer than the foliage, the larger ones 
sparingly branched at about the middle, usually solitary from 
each leaf axil; flowers mostly in small groups, alternatingly scat- 
tered from above the middle or mostly crowded toward the distal 
ends of the branchlets; pedicels 5 mm. long, strict, glabrous, of 
the same color, subtended by minute and caducous bracts; calyx 
reddish, glabrous, 3 mm. long, nearly twice as broad across the 
obscure broadly rounded 3-lobed top, otherwise united into a 
cup; corolla pale yellow and reddish tinged, in the early state 
oblongish, glabrous, 1 em. long, nearly one half as thick across 
the middle, the 3 lobes falsely united even in anthesis, minutely 
3-toothed at the apical aperture, the edges straight and only 
slightly overlapping or imbricate; segments thick, rather veiny, 
oblong, obtuse at apex; stamens pale yellow, 5, united at the base, 
erect, included; filaments subequal or nearly equal, 6 mm. long, 
glabrous; anthers narrowly oblong, 3 mm. long, laterally dehis- 
cent, basifixed, apex apiculate; ovary orange red, bearing 3 very 
thick and puberulent stigmatic lobes; infrutescence 1.5 dm. 
long, arising from the uppermost leaf axils, all the stalks and 
persistent calyx green; pedicel twice as long and as thick in the 
fruiting state; fruits 2.5 em. long, 1.5 em. thick, triangularly terete 
when fresh, angular when dry, elongate ellipsoid, with 3 cells 
but with only 1-seeded fruits, smooth, hard, of a light purple 
red, subtended by the 3-toothed persistent calyx. 
Type specimens 12145 for flower and 12219 for fruit, A. D. 
E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, 
Island of Sibuyan, March and April, 1910. 
Both numbers were collected in woods along the Pauala 
river at 750 feet altitude. The former was called ““Magosayong”’ 
the latter “Bolabog” by the natives or Visayan on Sibuyan. I 
have never seen a more pleasing red fruit in the Philippine Islands!
