A .species similar in vegetative cliaracters to (Jalophi/Uiun irhitfordii Merr., 

 at once recognizable by its .'J-flowered, solitary, axillary racemes, and very slen<ler, 

 elongated pedicels. 



Calophyllum racemosum sp. nov. S fnopht/lliiin. 



Arbor circiter 11 m alta, glabra, gemmis ferrugineo-puberulis ex- 

 ceptis; foliis coriaceis, oblongo-cllipticis, usque ad 25 cm longis, nitidis, 

 basi acutis, apice acuminatis, margine distincte revolutis; racemis siinpli- 

 cibus, axillaribus, solitariis, us(|ue ad 10 cm longis, floribns circiter 2 ctu 

 diametro. 



A tree about 11 m high, glabrous except the ferriiginous-puberulent 

 terminal l)U(ls which are lanceolate and 1 to l..") cm long. Branches 

 stout, terete, somewhat rugose, brown to olivaceous, the branchlets some- 

 what angled, sulcate. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, lo to 2-S cm 

 long, -t to T cm wide, shining, when dry about the same color on both 

 surfaces, oi- somewhat paler beneath, the apex distinctly and rather 

 abruptly acuminate, the base; acute, the nuirgins rather strongly revolute; 

 nerves very numerous, close, about equally distinct on both surfaces; 

 petioles rathej' stout, 1 to 'i cm long. Racemes axillary, solitary, 10 

 cm long or less, simple, each with from (i to H' tlowers, the pt'dieels 1

Lkytk. between Dolores and Ormoc. For. liiir. I'llHl lio.sctibluth (type), Feb- 

 ruary 2(), 1909, in forests, altitude about 100 m. I am disposed to refer here 

 also the following specimens from Mindanao: Lake Laiiao. (amp Keithley, Mrs. 

 ('lemeufi UHlU, a luxuriant form, the racemes fonniug almost lealless, terminal 

 l)anicles. and WiUUims 2IJ'i. 2:U(t. with immature fiuit-;. from ilie Sax River, 

 District of /amboanga. 



.\ species well cliaracteii/.ed by lieiiig entirely gialoous. e\cf|ii the teriiiiual 

 i)\i(ls. the margins of the leaves distinctly revolute, and the (lowers arrarigeil in 

 simple racemes. It is probably as closely alli<'d to Cfiloithi/llinii blinicoi PI. & Tr., 

 as to any ottii'r species but is dist iriguisiied liy tlie nbove eiiaiaeters.
