mm thick, soft and densely hairy; stigmatie arms 4, rotate- 
ly spreading. from the apex of the ovary, 2 mm long, 
somewhat flattened, bearded; fruits 4, angular, the edge of 
each angle doubly creased, 1.5 to 2 cm across, flattish, 4- 
celled and 4-seeded, much crinkled in the dry state, dark

Type specimen numbers 12424 for female flowers, 12423 
for male flowers and 12273 for fruit, A. D. E. Elmer, 
Magallanes (Mt. Giting giting), Island of Sibuyan, April 
and May, 1910. 
The fruiting specimens were gathered at 750 feet alti- 
tude in moist rich soil of dense woods along the Patoo river; 
the two flowering specimens were collected along the Pauala 
river at 1750 feet altitude. These two latter numbers were 
called ''Laguino" by my native Visayan. 
This genus is dedicated to Sr. J. F. Quadras, a natural- 
ist who besides gathering conchological specimens has collec- 
ted many new species of plants in the Philippine Islands.
