864 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. III, Arr. 48 
in the mature state, bright red, with 7- achene-like seeds; 
seeds plane on both inner sides, convex on the dorsal side, 
sharply pointed and notched at both ends. 
Type specimen 11851, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 
Collected in good soil of dense woods on a steep slope 
along the Sibulan river at 4000 feet. Rare! The under side 
of the leaves is rather dull flavus both in the fresh and the 
dry states. ‘‘Lai-au-pan’’ is the vernacular or Bagobo name. 
Its affinity is with C. paloensis Elm., yet there are a number 
of important differences both in the fruit and flower.
