quite numerous nnd relatively short, covered with grayish 

 brown bark, even the young parts glabrous. Leaves copious, 

 alternate, subchartaceous, slightly darker green above, gla- 

 brous, the obtuse to acute apex somewhat recurved, base 

 broadly obtuse or rounded, eglauduhir at the base, drying 

 light green beneath, the average blades 7.5 cm. long by 

 8.5 cm. wide at the middle, entire, elliptic or elliptically 

 oblong; midvein quite conspicuous from beneath, the 7 to 

 9 lateral pairs ascending and their tips much curved along 

 the margin, equally visible from both sides, the minute retic- 

 ulations quite evident; petiole grooved, at least 5 mm. long, 

 glabrous. Flowers few clustered at the distal end of the 

 short and stout glabrous peduncle, about as long as the 

 petioles, light cremeus, easily falling; pedicel glabrous, brown, 

 3 mm. long, subtended at the base by 3 blunt greenish 

 bracts; calyx proper of 3 subrotund and 1.5 mm. long sepals; 

 the inner segments of petals about 5, broadly elliptic, 2 mm. 

 long; ovary much flattened, 1.5 mm. across; stamens sub- 

 sessile or upon very short filaments, attached between the 

 ovary and the basal portion of the inner segments; anthers 

 very broad and well parted at the basifixed base, short ovoid. 

 Fruits hard, subglobose and occasionally rugosely globose,

Type specimen number 9470, A. D. E. Elmer, Duma- 

 guete (Cuernos Mts.), Province of Oriental, Negros, March, 

 1908. 



Collected in deep wooded ravines along Bonyao river <Mt 

 1500 feet altitude. The local Visayan called it "Bunlas." 



This is evidently not X. multiramosum Elm., neither can 

 it be referred to X. affine viacrocarpum Chad. Our leaves 

 are much thinner and fruits smaller and subglolxjse- Number 

 10380 from this sartie locality 1 distribute under Chodot's 

 new variety. 



Xanthophyllum subglobosum lons^i^olium EJm. n. var. 



Small tree and suberect; stem subterete, 15 cm. thick, 

 7 m. high, branched toward the top only; wood rather hard, 

 yellowish, quite odorless and without taste; bark smooth and
