2572 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [VoL. VII, Amr. 114 
black spotted, very thick and rigid, obscurely 4-toothed or 
subentire, nearly as wide across the top as long; petals 
free, in the bud state valvate or only slightly overlapping, 
erect, coriaceous, glabrate, nearly 8 mm long, one half as 
wide toward the base, alternating with the calyx segments, 
broadest at the base, obtuse at the apex, margins involute 
especially toward the apex; ovary subellipsoid, puberulent, 
surrounded by a fleshy stamineal rim, constricted at the 
apex into a short thick style or stigmatic portion; stamens 
8, arising from the outer basal portion of the rim, the 4 
outer ones alternating with the petals and a trifle longer, 
the inner series opposite the petals; filaments coriaceous, 
compressed especially toward the base, gradually tapering 
from the base to the pointed apex, 1.75 mm long, nearly 
erect; anthers ovate, bilobed at the base and basifixed, 0.25 
mm long and nearly as broad toward the base, laterally 
dehiscent. Fruiting pedicel thick, angular, 5 mm _ long, 
yellowish brown and glabrate, bearing at the distal end the 
vestiges of the subpersistent calyx; fruit 1 to 1.75 cm 
across, brick red or brownish red when fully mature, com- 
pressed, subglobose or very irregular, usually from 1 to 5- 
obscurely lobed especially in the blackish brown dry state; 
seeds from 1 to 4 even 5, stony, convex on the back, the 
inner sides nearly plane, dull yellowish brown when dry. 
Type specimen numbers 12760 in flower and 13225 in 
fruit, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto Princesa (Mt. Pulgar), Pala- 
wan, March and May respectively, 1911. 
Both numbers were collected on the gravelly and wooded 
banks of the Iwahig river at 250 feet altitude. 
. There is no question that the flowering and fruiting 
material represent the same species, though there is some 
doubt as to the right genus which is chiefly South Amer- 
ican, one species being known in Maritius, one in Mada- 
gascar and a few in Java.
