1088 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. III, Arr. 58 
acuminate or caudate apex recurved, base obtusely rounded 
and inequilateral, entire, subelliptic to oblong or ovately 
oblong, imparipinnate, the basal pair smaller, with 7 to 9 
leaflets, the larger leaflets 7.5 cm. long by 3 cm. wide across. 
the middle; petiolule of the lateral ones Jess than 5 mm. long, 
that of the terminal blade twice as long; midrib prominent 
beneath, brown, with 7 to 9 lateral pairs whose apical 
portions are strongly arched, reticulations rather fine and 
quite obscure. Infrutescence upon a green 8 to 18 cm. long 
spike, ascending, only occasionally short branched from near 
the base, glabrous; nuts 3 cm. long, triangularly in outline,

Type specimen 11268, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, August, 1909. 
Collected in dry fertile soil of moist woodlands at 2750 
feet. The Bagobos know it as ‘‘Ogat.’’ 
Very similar to C. euryphyllum Perk., but leaflets thinner 
in texture, never obovate in outline, with fewer and much 
less prominent nerves, reticulations in ours nearly obsolete 
fruits also larger and differently shaped, and the flowers ap- 
parently are quite different.
