1014 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. III, Arr. 54 
green beneath, oblong acute to acuminate at the apex, 
base cuneate or obtuse, entire, variable in size, the medium 
ones 15 cm. long, 5 em. wide across the middle, drying 
green, glabrous except the veins beneath; nerves prominent 
beneath, in the young state curved and with soft appressed yel- 
lowish brown hairs, the 5 to 7 lateral ones ascendingly curved; 
petiole stout, 7.5 mm. long, pubescent when young, ultimately 
becoming glabrous; stipules about as long, similarly hairy 
on the dorsal middle portion, ovately triangular, terminating 
into a setose point.  Peduncles usually solitary in the upper- 
most leaf axils, 2 to 5 cm. long, green and covered with 
olivaceous hairs, short branched toward the top; flower erect, 
sessile, apparently in 2 alternating rows along the upper side 
of the dichotomous branches, subtended on the lowermost by an 
acuminate bract; calyx cup-shaped, yellowish gray pubescent, 
3 mm. long, nearly as wide across the top, green except 
the purplish brown rim of 5 apiculate teeth; corolla terete, 
at least 2 mm. thick, 15 mm. long, finely pubescent, yel- 
lowish, fleshy, the upper 5 mm. divided into 4 obtusely 
pointed rather thick segments; stamens 4, alternating with 
the segments, inserted at the middle of the corolla; filaments 
less than 0.5 mm. long, glabrous; anthers light yellow, nearly 
4 mm. long, only partly exceeding the throat, linear, 1 mm. 
wide, attached on the back below the middle, introse, with 
a minute point at the rounded apex; style glabrous, bilobed; 
Íruits not seen. 
Type specimen 12469, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, May, 
1910. 
A rather pretty species commonly seen in moist gravelly 
soil of wooded banks along the Pauala river at 1000 feet. 
Named after J. A. Gammill who first collected it for the 
Forestry Bureau on Guimaras island. See his number 299. 
This is obviously not the Malayan T. rumphii DC. which 
Dr. Valeton considers identical to T. sericeus (Desf.) K. Sch. 
The size, shape and pubescence of the foliage is different, 
besides other characters in the flowers and fruits. Elmer 
12148 from this same locality has smaller leaves and more 
numerous inflorescences, but otherwise the same. This is 
the species we heretofore referred to T. rumphii DC.
