midrib and nearly at right angles to it, almost straight, 
very obscure though equally evident from both sides in 
the dry state, tips anastomosing, reticulations numerous 
and more evident from the nether side. Flowers odor- 
less, pendant from the axils, usually in small clusters; 
pedicels of the pistillate ones less than 1 em long but very 
slender, glabrous, spreading, subtended by minute bracts; 
| perianth segments in 2 unequal series, glabrous, 6, nearly 
| flat and well spreading in anthesis, all united at the basé; 
| the smaller 3 segments 2.25 mm long by 1.25 mm wide, 
| oblong but with a slight constriction below the base, obtusely 
| rounded at the apex, midvein rather evident; the 3 larger 
| ones. ovately elliptic, constricted or short clawed at the base, 
the midvein more evident and with visible reticulate nerves, 
apex broadly obtuse, entirely glabrous; ovary flatly globose, 
obscurely: trigonous, subglabrous, inserted upon a short rim- 
*. like base, 3-celled, with 2 flattened ovules in each cell at- 
tached to the central placenta; styles compressed, fleshy, 
glabrous, 2 mm long, 3-parted nearly to the base; stigmas 
forked, a trifle shorter, divaricate and curved toward the 
pointed distal ends, also glabrous; staminate in dense ses- 
sile clusters; pedicels for the bud flowers less than 1 mm 
long, glabrous, subtended by subpersistent bracteoles; the 3 
Outer perianth segments free, elliptic and with a constricted 
callous somewhat incurved point, entirely glabrous, deeply 
concavo-convex; the inner 8 alternating with the outer series, 
nearly free, a trifle shorter, almost flat, well covering the 
stamens; anthers subsessile, elliptic, arranged in a globose 
glomerule, emarginate at the apex, obscurely bilobed at the 
basifixed base, dehiscing laterally along the dorsal side. . ; 
Type specimen numbers 13936 pistillate and 14163 stam- 
inate, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Province 
of Agusan, Mindanao, September and October respectively, 
1912. 
The first number was discovered in dry forests at 3500 
feet of Duros peak and was called "Camohodan" by the 
Manobos. The other number was collected in humid forests 
€ at 5000 feet altitude and was named "Halong-halong" by 
the same natives.
