base lobed; superior ovary glabrous; ovoid, rugosely 5-lobed, 
bearing: a. thick more or less wrinkled stigma. 
Type specimen number 14283, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio 
(Mt. Santo Tomas), Province of Benguet, Luzon, March, 1913, 
Collected in gravelly red soil along the shaded north 
mountain trail of Santo’ Tomas at 6500 feet altitude. 
Leaves instead of being broadly rounded at the base 
are more or less tapering, thereby placing the greatest 
width across the middle, not below the middle as in 
1345 - Cuming: the specimen upon which Rolfe founded his 
Viburnum luzonicum. Our leaves are also less pubescent and 
thinner in texture, twigs and inflorescent branchlets more 
laxly spreading and its fewer flowers are without distinct 
clayx teeth. » ; ;
