numerous; leaves ascending, the tips somewhat recurved, rig-

Type specimen 11730, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 
Only one tree was found in fertile well drained soil of 
woods at 3500 feet, south of the Baruring river. This as

lenticelled twigs only, glabrous, imparipinnate; leaflets 3 to 5, 
the terminal one largest and symmetric, chartaceous, des- 
cending, deep lucid green on the upper conduplicate surface, 
duller and much lighter green beneath, lead brown when dry, 
gradually tapering to the acute apex, the base of the lateral 
leaflets rounded, obtuse to acute in the terminal one, oblong 
or ovately oblong or the smallest ones elliptic, entire, 1 to
