896 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. HI, Arr. 50 
2 minor lateral pairs above the middle, reticulations quite con- 
spicuous beneath, all similarly, strigose; petiole always less than 
1 em. long, densely appressed hairy; stipule 5 mm. long, 
ovately lanceolate or linear, membranous, brown, glabrous 
except the few scattering hairs on the dorsal middle region, 
subpersistent. Flowers and fruits in axillary sessile clusters, 
3 to 5 mm. across, subtended by brown, glabrous, linear, 
delicate bracts, flattened, glabrous 0.76 mm. long, nearly 
straight along the ventral edge, bearing a  subpersistent 
puberulent stigma, strongly recurved above the middle toward 
the more or less bulged dorsal edge; the perianth enclosing 
the seed and the basal portion of the stigma; mature achenes 
obovoidly lenticular from the side view, more or less 
compressed, straw color, 1.35 mm. long; staminate flowers 
not seen. 
Type specimen 11588, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. 
Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, August, 1909.

A laxly branched suberect shrub, 3 m. high; stem 3 
em. thick, terete, soft, solitary or a few from the same root 
cluster, branched above the middle; bark smooth, easily strip- 
ping, greenish on the branchlets, brownish on the stem, dirty 
strigose on the young twigs; wood sappy white, with a large 
green pith. Leaves coriaceous, ascendingly recurved, rugose, 
the upper dark green side glabrous and flat, beneath more 
or less finely strigose and much lighter green, easily break- 
ing, opposite, well scattered along the branchlets, finely den- 
tate except the entire basal margins, the average blades 8 
em. long, 3.5 cm. wide across the middle or a trifle above 
it, elliptically oblong, apex acute, base obtuse or rounded, 
turning brown while drying; veins 3 from the base, the lateral 
pair nearly extending to the apex, the midvein with about 5 
minor lateral pairs from above its middle, reticulations 
quite prominent beneath, all beset with whitish strigu- 
lose hairs; petiole 1 to2 cm. long, similarly strigose; stip-
