Type specimen number -13460, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabad- ` 
baran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, Aug- 
ust, 1912. 
| Of this ‘‘Camagon’’ as the Manobos call it, the writer 
| found only one tree in moist fertile soil of dense woods at 
150 feet above sea level. 
Very similar to my number 9246 published under Dios- 
pyros reticulata Elm. and now known under the name of 
Diospyros curranii Merr. The fruits of our new species are 
larger and entirely glabrous, the leaves are more membra- 
nous and drying green.

A middle sized tree or smaller in stature; stem 2.5 dm

wadded at the base, chiefly branched toward the top; wood 
odorless and tasteless, white or nearly so, soft; bark rela- 
tively thick, smooth, grayish white mottled, isabellinus other- 
wise; main branches spreading, crooked, not numerously re- 
branched; the suberect twigs slender, 1.25 cm thick, the api- 
cal portion densely isabellinus tomentose, roughened with 
the old leaf scars. Leaves alternatingly crowded, also as- 
cending, nearly flat, the short abruptly obtuse apex recurv- 
ed, subchartaceous, only slightly paler green beneath, equal- 
ly drying on both sides, 2.5 dm long, 8 cm wide above 
the middle, obovately oblong, the basal one half narrowly 
or slenderly panduriform, glabrous, very bluntly crenate, ser- 
rate excepting the entire basal portion; petiole broadly flat- 
tened, isabellinus canescent on both sides; midrib ridged be- 
neath, plane above, toward the base on both sides canes- 
cent, otherwise glabrous; lateral nerves about 15 pairs, the 
basal few pairs short, oblique, forked and coarsely reticu- 
lated toward their ends, likewise prominent beneath, cross 
bars and fine reticulations quite evident from the lower side. 
Inflorescent spikes chiefly clustered beneath the foliage, pro- 
- fuse, ascending and usually curved, 10 to 14 cm long, flow-
