NEW OR NOTEA^'OKTHY rHIEIPPINE PLANTS, VI. 257 



cco\is, glal:)rous^ shining', the midrib very stout^ the hrteral nerves 13 on 

 each side of the midrib, very prominent, ascending, the reticulations not 

 prominent; petioles stout, 1 to 3 cm long; stipules persistent, covering 

 the apices of the branchlets, grayish, glabrous, coriaceous, oblong-ovate, 

 acute, or obtuse, strongly keeled, 1 to 1.5 em long. Flowers in few- 

 flowered fascicles on the branches below the leaves; pedicels about 1.5 

 cm long, densely ferruginous-pubescent. Outer three calyx lobes valvate, 

 densely ferruginous-pubescent, broadly ovate, acute or obtuse, coriace- 

 ous, about 6 mm long, the inner three somewhat petaloid, imbricate, 

 nearly glabrous, or pubescent only on the median portion of the back, 

 suborbicular, rounded or I'etiise. Stamens about 20. Ovary glabrous, 

 9- or 10-celled; styles nearly 2 cm long. 



Luzon, Province of Benguet, Baguio. For. Bur. 5095 Curran, August, 1906; 

 Elmer 8523, March, 1907. 



A species remarkable for its elongated retuse leaves, prominent, persistent 

 stipules and 9- to 10-celled ovaries. In most species of Palaquium the ovary is 

 6-celled, so that the present species is anomalous in this respect as well as in its 

 persistent stipules. In all other characters it is a true Palaquium, and is ac- 

 cordingly described as such. 



Palaquium elongatum sp. nov. 



Arbor ca. 20 m alta; ramulis glabris; foliis lanceolatis vel anguste 

 elongato-Ianceolatis, acuminatis, coriaceis, supra glabris, subtus dense 

 ferrugineo-pubescentibus nitidisque, 20 ad 25 cm longis, 4 ad 8 cm 

 latis; nervis utrinque 14 ad 16, prominentibus ; floribus axillaribus, 

 solitariis, longe pedieellatis, dense ferrugineo-pubescentibus. 



A tree about 20 m high, the branches thickened, gray, glabrous, the 

 apices of the branchlets Avith numerous, narrowly lanceolate, about 1 cm 

 long, coriaceous, glabrous stipules. Leaves lanceolate to narrowly oblong- 

 lanceolate, coriaceous, 20 to 25 cm long, 4 to 8 cm wide, glabrous on the 

 upper surface, beneath densely ferruginous-pubescent and shining, the 

 midrib and lateral nerves glabrous or nearly so, apex short-acuminate, 

 gradually narrowed below to the acute or slightly acuminate base; 

 nerves on each side of the midrib 14 to 16, prominent, somewhat ascend- 

 ing, reticulations nearly obsolete; petioles about 4 cm long, glabrous or 

 nearly so. Flowers in the leaf-axils, solitary, few, the pedicels ferrugi- 

 nous-pubescent, 5 cm long or less. Outer three calyx lobes ferruginous- 

 pubescent, valvate, broadly triangular-ovate, acute, about 6 mm long, 

 the inner three thinner, ovate, appressed-pubescent on the back. C'orolla 

 appressed-pulDescent on the outside. Stamens about 20. Ovary ferru- 

 ginous-pubescent, 6-celled ; the style, in bud, glal)rous, 4 mm long. 



Luzox, Province of Tayabas, Mauban, For. Bur. 6G20 Reyes, March, 1907. 

 A species well characterized by its narrow elongated leaves, and few, long- 

 pedicelled flowers.
