2638 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [VoL. VII, Arr. 114 
sistent, coriaceous, 3 mm long, finely pubescent on the out- 
side, 3 to 5-veined, widely reflexed in full anthesis; petals 
or petal-like appendages very minute and alternating with 
the calyx segments; ovary disk large, glabrate; stamineal tube 
erect, 1 mm long, divided into 5 radially spreading fila- 
ments, less in length, all glabrous; anther pendant or ver- 
satile, 0.75 mm long, 0.5 mm wide across the base or wid- 
est portion, obtusely rounded at the apex, roundly bilobed 
at the base, ovately elliptic, dehiscing along the sides; stamin- 
eal tube exceeded by an erect sterile club shaped stigma. 
Type specimen number 13293 pistillate, 4. D. E. Elmer, 
Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, 
July, 1912; and number 411 staminate, C. A. Wenzel, Da- 
gami, Leyte, September, 1913. ; 
Here are also referred numbers 7266 ənd 8520 of my 
own distributions, the latter number from northern Luzon 
is nearly in mature fruit and is not quite as typical as the 
first cited number or younger specimens from Leyte. 
Pistillate type was collected in humus covered compact soil 
of a densely wooded ridge at 1750 feet altitude. The na- 
tives or Manobos called it ‘‘Tanog.’’ 
Apparently distinct from Bridelia tomentosa Blm.
