APRIL 20, 1912] Two Score or New PLANTS 1505 
main branches scattering from above the middle, relatively short 
and forming a thin elongated crown, very rigid, crookedly re- 
branched; wood white, moderately hard, odorless and tasteless; 
bark thick, reddish brown beneath the dull brown epidermis 
which scales in thin irregular plates; twigs rather numerous, 
terete, glabrous, lenticelled. Leaves coriaceous, descending, 
shining rich green above, slightly paler green beneath, shallowly 
folded on the upper side, especially so toward the acute to acu- 
minate recurved apex, alternate, diverse in size, the largest ones 
nearly 2 dm. long by 6 cm. wide across the middle, oblong, the 
entire margins with a blackish eallous, frequently much smaller, 
base obtusely rounded, curing unequally grayish brown on the 
2 sides; midrib bold beneath, dark brown; the main lateral nerves 
grayish brown, relatively obscure, 5 to 8 pairs, oblique, coarsely 
rebranched toward their tips, reticulations quite evident; petiole 
thick, glabrous, nearly black when dry, widely and deeply chan- 
nelled on the upper side, 1 em. long. Inflorescence axillary, 
glabrous, 1 to 3 em. long, the peduncle few flower bearing at or 
toward its end; pedicels as the peduncle thick, recurved, 5 mm. 
long; calyx thick, rigid, deeply cup shaped, glabrous, green, 6 
mm. long, truncate or obscurely 4-apiculate; corolla cremeus, 
1.5 em. long, 4 mm. thick, tubular or only obscurely constricted 
toward the throat, glabrous; its 4 lobes strongly reflexed, subequal, 
short ovate, pointed toward the apex, about 5 mm. long; stamens 
about 28, clustered at the base of the corolla, very unequal in 
length and size, all strictly erect, sessile or short filamentous, 
glabrous, all included in the corolla, the connective nearly black, 
laterally dehiscent, walls of the pollen sac brown. 
Type specimen 12501, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, May, 1910. 
Gathered in a moist fertile alluvial soil of dense woods at 
750 feet altitude, along the trail toward Espafia and near the 
Patoo river. The Visayan call it “Hinla-hata.” Named after 
its first collector, Mr. R. Rosenbluth. 
Our leaves are smaller as a rule than those of D. mindanaensis 
Merr. In that species the calyx develops to a thick quadrangular 
column with strongly reflexed lobes. Forestry Bureau number 
12878 collected on Samar is without that reflexed angular column, 
and in my opinion, it is the fruiting state of our new species here 
described.
