2622 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY (Vor. VII, ArT. 114 
leaf axils, paniculate, 1 to 3 dm long, 1.5 dm wide at the 
base, branched from below the middle and at or toward the 
base provided with small leaves; branches alternate, divar- 
icate, dirty brown puberulent, rebranched from near the base, 
when fresh pale green as is also the subterete rachis which 
upon drying turns deep brown and ultimately nearly glab- 
rous; branchlets comparatively short, similarly spreading, 
finely pubescent even in the fruiting state; fruits subterete, 
1 em long, ovoidly oblong, 1, 2 or even 8-carpellary, lat- 
erally dehiscent along the inner side or angle, mucronately 
pointed at the apex, subtended at the base by the persis- 
tent 5 calyx segments; pedicels 3 to 5 mm long, suboliva- 
ceous pubescent, persistent, a trifle enlarged at the distal 
end and often bracteolate; segments thick and rigid, 5 mm 
long, glabrate when old except the ciliate edges, elliptic; 
carpels dry and leathery, brown when dry, glabrous, shining 
especially on the outer side, more or less twisted and fine- 
ly striate longitudinally; seeds subpersistent after the carpels 
have opened, at first yellow but finally dull miniatus red, 
shining black or nearly so when dry, 3 mm long, subellip- 
soid. 
Type specimen number 13862, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabad- 
baran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, Sept-

Gathered among jungled woods along the stony ridge be 
tween Duros and Cawilanan peaks at 3500 feet altitude. The 
Manobo name is ''Balau-balau." 
Less pubescent and carpels without the elongated beak of 
Tetracera rigida Blm. Our leaves are also larger, with their 
lateral nerves straight and more oblique than those of Tet- 
racera borneensis Mig. and with which my flowering specimen 
number 9202 from Lucban should be carefully compared.
