0 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. VII, Arr. 114 
and pubescence to the petiole; petiolules 5 to 8 mm long, 
eaniculate, densely fulvus hairy; leaflets imparipinnate, 11 
to 15-foliate, mainly horizontal, subchartaceous, edges entire 
but wrinkled or wavy, the basal ones shorter and relatively 
broader, the upper ones oblanceolately oblong, the middle 
ones more nearly oblong, the lower ones elliptic to ovately 
elliptic, the average oblong blades 18 cm long by 5 cm wide 
across the middle, apex very abruptly terminating into the 
very slender and sharp point, base of the upper or relatively 
narrower leaflets obtusely rounded and slightly obliquely 
inequilateral, the lower ones broadly rounded at the base, 
glabrous on the upper lucid dark green surface, paler green 
on the lower soft pubescent surface; both sides of the stipule 
turning about the stem, prong-like, 2 to 3 em long, quite rigid and 
castaneus hairy. Flowering spikes solitary from the upper leaf 
axils, varying from 1.5 to 4 dm long, ascending or divari-. 
cate from the base, usually recurved toward the distal end, 
flower bearing from very near the base, short branched all 
along but especially toward the base; rachis as well as the 
1 to 3 em long lateral branches densely fuligineus, branch- 
lets rebranched toward the distal ends; main branches as 
well as the few divaricate branchlets subtended by sharply 
pointed very caducous bracts; buds ellipsoid, 5 mm long, 
sessile, subtended by a broad and short densely pubescent 
bract; calyx 7 mm long above the middle, 3-segmented, 
deeply cup shaped, thickly coriaceous, densely villous on 
the exterior; the 3 lobes ovately oblong, broadly obtuse at 
the apex, erect; corolla as long, broadly tubular, 3 lobed 
to below the middle, coriaceous, glabrous about the base on 
the exterior, otherwise villous; segments oblong, valvate in 
the bud state, obtuse at the apex, a trifle unequal in 
width; stamens 6, erect, equalling the corolla in length; 
filaments 3 mm long, glabrous, expanded toward the base 
and united into a rim about the ovary, otherwise slender; 
anthers almost as long, linear, 1 mm wide, bluntly termina- 
ted at both ends, short obovoid and obscurely rugose, ciliate 
at the apex, with a sessile stigma.
